Jane Tough

About

For 24 years I have focused my career around creating learning experiences that inspire leadership and team development.  I’ve worked with senior leaders and teams in large corporate and non-corporate organisations both locally & internationally.    I’m infinitely fascinated in people and draw on multiple disciplines and a fine tuned intuition to understand my clients and design in response to what matters to them. 

Combined with an innate understanding of business, I have a growing interest in stress reactivity and finding mindful responses to life and work.

I live in Cape Town, South Africa with my husband and 2 children.  I approach life as a learner and enjoy remote holidays, creative pursuits and time spent in conversation with family and friends.  I engage in daily mindfulness practices to build my awareness, compassion and quality of attention.

professional experience

My passion for organization development and systems thinking at University led me to joining an Organisation Development Consultancy where I worked across industries and organization levels on strategic projects to grow and nurture people potential and organization performance.

Later I joined Woolworths Pty Ltd where I led change management on key cross-functional projects for the business solutions group and introduced a new performance management system and led the coaching function for the talent management team.

Over the past 14 years I have been growing a leadership and team coaching practice.
