My Journey

Growing up, I was that little boy who dreaded heights. Just the thought of being off the ground made my stomach churn. I watched as others climbed trees and jumped from swings, feeling firmly rooted to the ground and convinced I’d never be brave enough to join them. But life has a way of surprising us.

As an adult, I discovered paragliding, and from that moment, everything changed. I still remember my very first solo flight—it felt like stepping into a new world. The adrenaline rush was exhilarating as I launched off a small hill in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands. In those first moments of flight, I transformed from a scared boy into a bird soaring through the sky, tasting the freedom I had longed for. That first flight and the skills that I learned ignited a fire in me, and for the next 28 years, paragliding became my passion.

about-brett2

Facing my fears through learning to paraglide inspired me to become a Leadership Consultant. I’ve dedicated my career to helping others realize their potential, driven by a desire to support individuals and teams in overcoming their own challenges. I’ve witnessed firsthand how powerful it is when someone moves beyond their limitations, learns new things and steps into their strength.

However, on July 3, 2023, my passion faced an unexpected challenge. During what I thought would be just another routine flying lesson, another paraglider collided with mine. Chaos erupted as our gliders tangled, and we began to plummet toward the ocean below. My heart raced, and fear gripped me once more. In that terrifying moment, I was forced to confront not only my fears but also the fragility of life itself.

In grappling with this unimaginable fear, I embraced resilience, learning to manage my emotions in the face of adversity. This experience became more than just a story of survival; it reinforced my belief in moving beyond excuses and the critical importance of personal growth and transformation.

At Brett Coach International, I empower individuals and organizations with the tools they need for personal growth and transformative change. I understand the struggles many face—feeling stuck in limiting patterns or unsure how to embrace change. My mission is to help bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, guiding you toward your greatest potential.
