Hello. I'm Coach Peter Jordaan.  I'm an experienced Life and Business Coach & Counsellor, Teacher & Healer. I have been coaching for a long time. It's my calling. And I've had the honour of working with hundreds of great people, some from overseas, helping them move forward in their lives and careers and achieve some amazing things.

To my life coaching practice I bring compassion, optimism, integrity, creativity, intuition, practicality, my deep knowledge of the workings of  the human psyche, all my coaching and business skills, and a lifetime of experience. Over the years I've been; an entrepreneur, a trader, a builder (part time), a manager, a consultant, a treasurer of a large bank and a large government parastatal, a risk manager, an auditor, a dad, a husband, health and fitness enthusiast, a canoe racer, a spiritual seeker, and student of life. Looking back now, it seems all my life experiences were important, and in some way led me to coaching.  They also allow me to better support and assist my clients. 

I'm very grateful for the opportunities and experiences I've had. It hasn't always been easy, but in my years in business I ended up achieving far more than I thought was possible when I started out. 

In life coaching, I now do what I truly love. And I really enjoy seeing the transition happen before me eyes of my clients and they get the insights and are inspired to do more than they thought possible.

Personally, I am involved with Linda and she feels like a soul mate and is the person I most want to share my life with. Together we are the proud parents of five delightful children, four adults and one young man. And I am lucky enough to live in the most beautiful and wonderful part of the world with family, friends and a community that are very important to me. 

What I Do

What I do for a living, is to help people find their strengths and passions, become inspired, believe in themselves, stay focused, and really go after their biggest dreams.  I have also helped people get over there diseases in ways they never thought possible. Some have said that certain diseases are not curable – well I have managed to cure lots of them and if not cured they are substantially better.

I have achieved methodologies that can heal diabetes, depression, stress, rape, molestation, stomach problems, heart problems etc that no one else in the country can do. This is a unique service and achievement. Think what then, can be achieved for you.

Over 27 years of business, and through my volunteer work, coaching, counselling, and workshops, I've had the pleasure of helping many hundreds of people overcome challenges and live happier, more abundant lives.  It is the most rewarding work I've ever done.  If you are interested, here's how I came to do what I do. It's often said that a good life is the enemy of a great life. I started my early life in the trading world, trading every kind on financial instrument possible. I worked my way up until I was a Chief Trader of one of the major banks in South Africa. Then became a Treasurer and moved to become a Treasurer of one of the countries major Parastatal's (government agency).

Thereafter I got involved in auditing, consulting and risk management in the financial services and other related industries. Life was great, hectic and busy. Friends were great, work was great, money was great. But somehow there was still something that did not quiet fill what it was that I needed.

Then I decided to do further studies into psychotherapy and spirituality and spent a lot of time studying Rudolph Steiner’s Books on the spiritual make up of man, the interconnectedness of mind, body and spirit, and how the human psyche works. I combined that with the teachings of the energetic bodies of the human body, mind and spirit, and the interrelatedness as well as the methodologies of doing healing using these energetic systems. Now many people see these as two totally different worlds. I discovered the huge overlap that many management consultants unconsciously try to bridge the gap between the business world and each person's spiritual growth and development. All sorts of babble is used with lots of technical names etc by these guys.

When you learn the basic make up of every person, how each of us operate, then you combine this with a business model, you have a formulae that is potent and magical. You can then use this everywhere in your life and have a wonderful life like you are supposed to. That is what you came here to do. Back to healing. At round about this time I suddenly lost the use of my eyes and generated a serious infection that even cortisone was unable to heal. I was beyond what normal medicine could do for me. I was starting to go blind. I applied the teachings on myself and did heal my eyes completely within a very short period of time. That taught me that anything in life is possible. If I can do it so can you.

I then discovered the technologies that I use today to do psychological work with people to facilitate natural healing of so called incurable diseases. Working with this a bit and developing it further I found that I could use this technology in every field of coaching, counselling and healing. I consistently got good results. Recently I have expanded it into working with kids who have been labelled A.D. D. and A.D.H.D. and found that I can help them also overcome this false labelling, in most cases. This technology enables me to work very quickly with clients and get to the root cause of problems. It is never necessary to go into years of detail of the client's life. That just wastes time and energy. Once at root cause we bring about healing and we empower the client to resolve further issues themselves easily. If they are stuck then they are welcome to come back for a further session. Typical number of counselling sessions (in hours) with a client range between 6 and 10 hours.

The idea of helping others connect to what they really are, overcome their limitations, and create fulfilling lives and careers aligned to their gifts and passions is something I just know is right for me and this is what I am meant to do. I love business. I love being an entrepreneur. I love being a developer, a pioneer. But at heart I am a coach, a teacher, a counsellor and a healer and my greatest love is helping others learn, grow and live their dreams and be free. I am an avid student of the wisdom traditions, developmental psychology, positive psychology and emotional intelligence. I love helping others grow and live full and meaningful lives. By striving to be really good at what I do, I get to live my dream, and help others to move their lives from good to great.

My Outlook on Life Coaching 

I love teaching, well some call it coaching, others call it counselling and yet others call it healing. For me it is just passing on what the client needs most to get on. It allows me to use my gifts and all my business and life-skills training and experience, and make a difference in people's lives. I really enjoy working with my Clients, and admire their determination to make the changes required to get the results they want.

I also believe that we all have unique skills and talents. And it is deeply rewarding to coach Clients to discover what they can really get excited about, and then help them apply their own special gifts - in their businesses and personal lives. I greatly appreciate the trust my Clients put in me.

I love to help people grow, re-discover their dreams,   and create more value, wholeness, abundance and peace in their lives. I think we all have a purpose, here on earth, and that is to develop and grow, I love to help people find their own development and empower themselves.

I consider myself very fortunate to have had the personal and business experiences I've had. In business I am proud of the many ventures I've been a part of. Personally, I really enjoy my family life, and along the way I have had some great adventures including; hiking in the Drakensberg and other mountains, travelling in southern Africa and South America. I have also ridden elephants in Thailand, scuba-dived in the sea off Thailand and off the coast of South Africa. I grew up in Zambia as a child and finished schooling and studying in South Africa. To me it all forms part of who I am, and what I have to offer to you.

My Outlook on Life

I view life as a journey, rather than a destination. And it's a journey that changes us all. To the extent that we get in touch with, and honour, our deepest values, that journey will be fulfilling. In my practice I often tell the story of the young Russian Soldier manning a lonely guard post at a country crossroad.  When the soldier is startled out of his night vigil by someone approaching his checkpoint, he leaps forth and shouts: "Halt". "Who are you?" "Where are you going?" and "How are you getting there?" 

The stranger turns out to be the village priest, who is quickly recognized. Yet rather than accepting the soldier's apologies, the priest offers to pay the young man 30 roubles to ask those same questions every day.

The point of the story is that if you have answers to these questions, you are attending well to your life. At its deepest level, "Who are you?" inquires as to why you are here on this earth?  "Where are you going?" inquires into the vision you have for your life, or how you are going to use the gifts of time and talent you have. "How are you getting there?" inquires into your calling, the next step, or the best path forward.

Answering these questions for your life can provide a great deal of clarity, inspiration and a much greater sense that you are living the life you are meant to live. 

For me, as relates to the "Who" question - I believe I am here to learn, love, laugh and be of service.  As to the "Where Are You Going" question - I am committed to help make a more inspired world through coaching.  As to the "How" - I coach, teach and lead people to find their inspiration.

I don't claim to have all the answers. That's not what coaching is about. But if you are ready to make some positive changes in your life -- and you choose to work with me -- I will be dedicated to help you get the results you want and find the answers that add the most value to your life.
