Vuyo Koyana
Facilitator, Consultant, Coach, PCG and Acres of Diamonds.
Vuyo is an experienced facilitator who combines sound articulation and highly intuitive listening to the workshop and individual growth encounter. She has a mature understanding of how individuals can free themselves from their limitations and change, releasing a transformed sense of their environment, their paths and their ability to hold the magic of what happens when they truly begin to live to their full potential with authenticity. She imparts this to all those she comes into contact with, with great charisma, enthusiasm, warmth, simplicity and humanity.
Vuyo's professional experience blends as an interesting crossing of various roads in the human development field, including Personal Growth, Leadership Development, Mediation and Conflict-handling.
A particular personal passion of hers lies in how we as humans can learn to meaningfully negotiate the tenuous balance between our needs and growing understanding of ourselves and the groups through which we identify ourselves (when we do) and the needs and growing understanding of the greater and inordinately complex human race. Much of this passion for Valuing Diversity is lived in her management of the Pan African Market which is a space where divergent cultures and fields of creative expertise come together. She has also been extensively involved in assisting various clients across corporate, public, social and educational settings to work with their often complex diversity issues over the last 15 years. These interventions have often also included or been interspersed with the other vast array of above-mentioned facilitation and transformation consulting skills.
Vuyo is qualified as an Applied Psychologist (Masters) with degrees from Rhodes University, University of Transkei and Stellenbosch University. She is also a trained mediator from the Independent Mediation Services of Southern Africa (IMSSA) who also served on the panels of IMMSA and the Centre for Conflict Resolution for more than five years.
