After 25+ years in senior corporate leadership — including as CEO of DStv Media Sales — I now work with organisations who know that culture isn’t a soft metric, it’s a growth strategy. I help leadership teams build the resilience, trust and alignment that turns good companies into great ones.

CEO - HomecomingEx
Working with Chris Hitchings as my coach has been nothing short of life changing.
Through the Enneagram assessment, we identified my thinking patterns, which helped me understand my behavior at work. This insight allowed me to better position myself and connect more effectively with others. The growth I experienced in a short period was remarkable.
Head of HR - Dis-Chem Life
Working with Chris has genuinely transformed the way I lead. He challenged me to think differently about leadership and gave me practical tools I continue to use every day — from building trust and psychological safety on my team, to leading with greater confidence and executive presence.
I would recommend him without hesitation to any leader who wants to grow, build a high-performing team, and lead with greater confidence and authenticity.
Head of Sales – Santam Heavy Haulage
Working with Chris over the past year has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my own development as a new C-level executive. Stepping into this role brings a set of challenges that are hard to prepare for — leadership at scale, where to focus, and how to build influence across an executive team.
Chris has been an exceptional thinking partner on all of it.
