The Process

Consultation

“Diagnosis without consultation is malpractice.” Joseph D. Wassersug.

I strongly believe that the first step for anything it thoroughly understanding the current situation and all the variables known and unknown. This is a powerful and tangible starting point for real work.

Be it coaching, education or speaking this is a necessary step to initiate the process to allow for impactful results. At the heart of every meaningful endeavour lies the fundamental need to understand. It is through consultation that we embrace the present, acknowledge its intricacies, and unravel the complexities that often remain hidden from the surface.

Consultation is the compass that steers us in the right direction, ensuring that our efforts are not misdirected but finely tuned to address the core issues at hand.

Co-creation

“Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so.” Amos 3:3

The next important part of the process is for all parties involved in the process to construct a plan of action that is mutually agreeable. This allows for the natural commitment necessary for the work to take place. Co-creation is the art of harmonising diverse voices and perspectives into a symphony of purpose. It’s about embracing the notion that no significant journey is ever undertaken alone, and the beauty of co-creation lies in its ability to transform isolated individuals into a synchronised, purpose-driven collective.

When all parties come together to construct a plan of action born from mutual agreement, something magical happens. In essence, co-creation is the embodiment of unity, the fuel of collaboration, and the heart of shared purpose.

Consistent Implementation

“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” Robert Collier

I provide a place where we can consistently work on the hard things until they become simple, then, when it is simple, inculcate these learnings into something natural so it become part and parcel of your lived experience.

It underscores the fundamental truth that success isn’t a product of grandiose actions or sporadic bursts of brilliance; rather, it’s a result of the daily, unwavering commitment to small but meaningful steps. I focus on the practical steps that are required to show up consistently everyday.

Furthermore, as these small efforts become ingrained, as they evolve from laborious tasks into second nature, a transformation occurs.

What People Say About Me

"Hungry, hungry, and hungrier. Hungry for knowledge Hungry to help people Hungrier to change the way the world thinks."

Elliot Kay

My time with Lathi was like a breath of fresh air. She really listens, beyond all the noise to really hear you. The session brought me some major realisations that I look fortward to working more on. It's like she just woke me up. She really knows her subject and is great at what she does. I will recommend her to anyone who is on a journey of finding themselves or their identity. She is the real deal. Looking forward to more."

Sunni Mallo

"Lathi’s bold and passionate approach to working with people makes you feel confident that you’re in good capable hands, which is essential when you start asking yourself questions that can be at the base of everything in your life, your identity. I got the sense that she is in tune with herself and people she works with to know when to push and challenge someone that little bit more and when to ease back. Very insightful and thought-provoking and was a welcome reality check that even if you are where you need to be, is reassuring to know."

Aaron Hayle

"I had always been fascinated by Lathi's work. I finally had the opportunity to attend a workshop to see her in action and I am so glad I did. I did not realise the calibre of her skill set. I was introduced to some new concepts as well as a new way of looking at some old ones. Lathi suggested a very small tweak in how I did things and the change was instantaneous. I had more energy, my creativity came back and I felt so excited about life where as before I had been feeling uninspired and low in energy. I simply had not understood myself properly and therefore was not operating in a way that optimised my character traits in work and life. I look forward to working more with Lathi in the full program and I can't wait to experience the transformation."

Caroline Zimba

"Magic... Oh Lathi you're a magical woman: The NLP, the coaching training, the ambitious visionary mindset, did you say you were a psychotherapist in training and teacher with SEN experience? Because all of the above is going to give you magic. I think the magic could be simplified to: Being "in-tune" with yourself, other people, and how people work (probably the hardest part) Really "hearing" other people, and noticing the language they use Sharing your perspective of their experience, which feels great because you're in-tune with humanity, and it's easy to receive because it's delivered in their language."

Jerome Minnie

" have have the pleasure to have been able to listen to Lathi Dube more than once and on every single occasion she has blown me away with her ability to make the various components of Identity come alive through storytelling. This is on just another level, she is naturally able to really take an audience on an emotional rollercoaster and leave them empowered. Not only that Lathi has the ability to leave the audience with hope and incite on so many different layers that she is such an amazing asset to an audience, conference organisers portfolio."
