Every part of your business boils down to humans

We believe your greatest asset isn’t your strategy, technology, or products – it’s your people. The human element isn’t just part of your business; it’s the heart of it and the core of your success. Our expertise lies in cultivating and empowering that potential. 

Leadership is not a title, it's a way of being

Effective leadership goes beyond authority and theory. It’s about embodying qualities and behaviours that inspire, guide, encourage and uplift others. Achieving this transformation within an organisation takes time; it’s not a quick fix. Which is why we focus on long-term programmes that drive deep, sustainable change.

What our clients say

“Human Element made understanding how each of us can work together to pull in the same direction and achieve set goals, so much easier. We sit in a position 2 years later with a highly productive, happy team, steaming towards our goals and it’s all down to Human Element’s hard work at opening those communication lines between the teams.”

“Human Element’s interventions shaped and improved our Manco team to become better versions of themselves and achieve organisational goals... They continue to assist in improving operations and engagement in our business. Any company will definitely get a return on investment if they subscribe to these programmes.”

Kathy Ramsewak, CEO

“Jaline is a consummate professional, able to work with people from diverse backgrounds and her people-centred approach allows her to create psychological safety and trust with all her coachees… all employees spoke about the very positive impact the coaching sessions have made in their work and personal lives. Human Element did some exceptional work with these leaders – several moved into roles with a broader scope or were promoted into new roles during the past year, which shows the impact created through the coaching.”

Nimmita Maharaj, Director: Diversity and Transformation
Schneider Electric

“Human Element’s Enneagram programme has and continues to be a core component of our leadership development programme. It is insightful and powerful for both the individual and teams, helping them to discover their strengths and execution muscles. Human Element brings fun, professionalism, and a truly world-class operation whilst making it seamless and enjoyable.”

Graham Harvey, CEO
Cardinal Group

“Human Element are business coaching experts. They’ve guided our young leaders and executive team in advancing their leadership skills, improving team engagement, and optimising operations. We invested in Leadership Circle Profile (LCP), Enneagram assessments, team coaching, and offsite workshops, all of which have shown clear returns on investment.”

Mpho Phahlamohlaka, Head of Human Resources
Advanced Assessments & Training

“Jaline is an outstanding leadership coach. She has an exceptional ability to help her coachees more fully understand themselves and how their behaviour is helping them or holding them back. She is also the best Enneagram coach I know. I personally have benefited from Jaline’s coaching, where in just a few coaching sessions she helped me uncover some crucial blind spots I needed to be aware of in order to grow as a leader.”

Andrew Aitken, Entrepreneur, CEO, Business Coach
GROW

"The impact Human Element had on my life has been profound. Their personalised coaching approach has been transformative, touching every facet of my life – personal and professional. I’ve not only grown as an individual but also developed essential skills to navigate challenges within our organisation and foster effective teamwork. My coach’s insights are invaluable, and her ability to help me see situations from different angles has been eye-opening. Their coaching has been a cornerstone of my personal and professional development, and I wholeheartedly recommend Human Element."

Our Methodology

We use a set of foundational modalities and measurement tools that have

consistently proven successful:

Comprehensive 360° reviews

We use the Leadership Circle Profile, a comprehensive 360° framework, where individuals get assessed, identifying strengths and areas for improvement. The review reveals how a leaders’ behaviours and mindset enables or constrains their intended leadership impact as well as the business’ performance.

One-on-one coaching

Leaders embark on a transformative journey rooted in the Integral Coaching methodology. During this process, the whole of the leader is taken into account, by working at the level of who they are, not simply what they wish to change.

Leadership workshops series

A series of team workshops that tackle common challenges faced by leaders. These sessions blend theoretical knowledge with practical tools and exercises, while real-world assignments are given to reinforce and internalise the learning.

The Enneagram

The Enneagram is a powerful system aimed at deepening self awareness. It offers more than a personality profile as it delves deeper into the core motivations, defence mechanisms and fears that often lie in the unconscious layers of our personality.

The ripple effect

When we work with leaders, they develop greater self-awareness and begin to
change their behaviour. This shift creates a ripple effect, transforming team
dynamics, organisational culture, and overall business performance.
