ABOUT ANNEMARIE Christodoulou
Broad experience, but specialised skill
I am JHB-born and bred, but decided to make Cape Town home on my return from the UK in 2012. I have two small kids (8 & 5 yrs) and invest a lot of my time in getting the balance right between work and home. I am a believer in working smart and doing the impactful thing, and not just work for the sake of activity. I put that into practice in my guidance and consulting advice for my clients, as well as in my own life. Work-life balance and mindful performance enhancement are not surprisingly areas of coaching about which I am passionate.
I am an avid exerciser, and like to get outdoors walking as often as I can. My husband and I are also keen wine enthusiasts, and cooking and entertaining friends at home is how we enjoy our downtime. I am very proud of my Greek heritage, and I try as much as possible to keep that alive for our children through travel and exposure to the rich traditions of our culture. That said, I am proudly South African, and love living in the mother city.
I am driven and passionate about the idea of understanding people, their psychology and their behaviour, and then leveraging that understanding to achieve better performance and human outcomes in the workplace.
