Rebecca Sfedj
Rebecca Sfedj envisions a world where entrepreneurship can be a source of accomplishment, impact, and emancipation for young women. That’s why she leads Gals for Change, the – soon to be global – community where she empowers and gathers women entrepreneurs to develop a profitable project that is both fulfilling and impactful.

What do you do differently, or how is your coaching different from others?
My pedagogy conciliates social entrepreneurship, personal & spiritual development, and women empowerment. That is to say that it is specialized for (aspiring) women entrepreneurs who want to change themselves in order to change the world. We use a holistic and systemic approach where everything is needed to make a lasting change: head, heart, body, and spirit. That’s why we have complementary methods: neuroscience, non-violent communication, enneagram, collective intelligence, and artistic activities such as dance and writing.
What, according to you, has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most critical thing that has contributed to my success and happiness as a coach is… to surround myself carefully! Whether it is by my coaches and therapists to help me grow, by my clients to inspire me, by my team to support my motivation and activities, by my colleagues entrepreneurs in co-developments or clubs, and, more recently, by my own community of like-minded entrepreneurs, Gals for Change!
Dr Steve Harris
Dr Steve Harris is the CEO of a University College, has an MBA and PhD, is a former world champion of Surf Lifesaving, a former mind coach for the Springbok rugby team, an author of two books, and was the winner of a national entrepreneur’s “Build a Business” competition.
What do you do differently, or how is your coaching different from others?
My coaching is underpinned by academic research combined with practical experience in mental toughness. I use the notion that we all have struggles and obstacles, and with improved mental toughness (particularly critical thinking and competence building), we can manage these and scaffold through relevance, from remarkable to rare, where we start to make a unique contribution and create new value.
What, according to you, has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The ability to change my mind because of my experiences in the speaking industry and the critical thinking lessons of mental toughness made me aware I was not a victim. I can make a difference in my life and help others make a difference in theirs through humility, inspiration, and kindness.
