ABOUT ME
I'm a personal and business coach, determined go-getter, passionate wife and mum of 5, believer in the wonder of people and their untapped potential, sold out on my faith, red wine, glass of water and pizza type of girl.
My Big Why is to make a difference in your life by supporting you to migrate from where you currently are to a world where you are living out your amazing potential. I believe we are created to shine and I want to help you on the path to discovering yourself so that you can shine and reach your Big Why too. I believe in developing phenomenal leaders who can lead effectively in our unpredictable world.
Life is too short to not have fun and be happy while doing that. So I have a heck of a sense of humour, massive amount of energy, love smiling, laughing, dreaming and generally just love life.
Do you like stories? Here is my story...
I used to be 20kg overweight, in a job I didn’t love and in a negative relationship. Then I discovered the way to face my fears, be courageous, find meaning and unlock my life.
Through a journey with loads of reading, learning, experimentation and testing, I did it.
I found my Big Why, I figured out a system to create meaning where I was planted and I gained the courage to face my fears and move my life forward in big jumps! I literally transformed my life in every respect.
This is why I started Free2BeMe because I know I can help you to maximise your growth in less time, and on a budget.
I don’t believe in having regrets, but I do know that if I give you the valuable strategies, mindset and tools that I learnt the hard way, it will save you years of time in transforming and unlocking your life.
Imagine the impact that this could have in every respect of your life. That’s how I get to serve you, by giving you the process and tools to unlock your potential.
The real win for me though, is working with other leaders like you because I get to see so many people transform their lives. Leadership is about BEING not doing. And in essence that’s where the secret to being a phenomenal leader lies, in finding your own authentic unique self and I am blessed to be part of that amazing process. Sure doesn't get much better than that! :)
My life roles include....
Marrying Q was an awesome decision. After a failed first marriage, I said I would only marry again if I met my soul mate…14 years on – still madly in love
After losing 20kgs some years ago, I picked up the habit of running. Never would have predicted this would be me LOL.
The centre of my heart, my awesome blended family on our Big Holiday to Europe. Yes there are 5 awesome kids who make me smile :).
It's such an amazing experience to be the mom of these 5 individuals and to see how they are all finding their own purpose in life.
I totally love to see people unlock their lives and see their potentials come out- see the Legend and Phenomenal Leader emerge! That’s why I do this….to support people to grow into their untapped potential.
My faith and my Big Why are totally integrated. My faith gives me the foundation of knowing who I am, my Big Why gives me the reason to get up and greet each day with a smile on my face, knowing it’s another day to make a difference.
So grateful for all the keynote opportunities over the past few years to talk and teach about Post-Modern Leadership, the ability to influence for the greater good.
I love teaching people how to lead in an ever changing world and keynotes give the opportunity for me to get the knowledge out there to a large forum in one go. The first one I did was difficult, but now it's more about having loads of fun telling the story with confidence.
I love strategy and I must literally stop myself constantly producing new ideas. But I also love seeing how a good strategy unlocks opportunities, because I know from experience that strategy without implementation and return on investment, has no real value.
I used to be the CIO at a forestry group of companies and put together a Group Digitisation Strategy that literally transformed the business. That was super cool.
When I was a technology geek and executive, I always focused on getting the people component right first. That’s what I love doing – helping people to see possibilities and unlock them.
Putting together the F2BM Strategic Transformation Blueprint has been amazing. Just listening to people like us and how mindsets and lives are transformed, warms my heart. And the best part for me, is that everyone has their own success story to tell because the journey is individually relevant to them. Now, that's what I consider a successful strategy and implementation, you agree?.

"An excellent way to reflect on your own life. Celeste prepared me to find myself first. There is so much that I have learned and Celeste prepared the platform with her down to earth and non-judgemental approach" - Cristel
"My friend and mentor – you showed me how to get my how right. That lesson changed my life." - Pieter
"Celeste guided me to walk into owning my personal story. Owning my truth. Learning to be kind and patient with my own personal growth and allow myself to make mistakes. The importance of knowing who is in my marble jar and who I can confide in makes a great difference…learning about your own personal strengths and weaknesses and investing in your own growth"-Mariska
"Free2BeMe really changed my life! Celeste is an amazing woman. Her knowledge and love of psychology, technology, business, being human and God is something to aspire to and her love and friendship is a blessing from God." - Annamarie
"I walked into this journey with Celeste with an open mind and was pleasantly surprise. We started off with everybody feeling a bit awkward but after a couple of sessions people started to loosen up and then magic happened.. We discussed serious matters and we discussed not so serious matters and both situations were not difficult as we became like family. I discovered some of my strong points and also learned where my weaknesses are and also learned that the weaknesses are okay to have as we are human after all. When you do this course be sure to be surprised with what you will discover about yourself. You will realize you are enough and perfect the way you are."- Duane
"Thank you for recognising the potential in me. There is no limit to what you mean and have done for me" – Dylan
