De Nova Consulting's business is based on a networking model. It serves as a referral point to all related business fields of
consulting, training, counselling and mentoring. People who are part of this network share the same vision, beliefs and values
described. Thus training is outcome driven and based on adult learning principles, counselling is client-focused and results driven,
mentoring is specific needs orientated and client specific, consulting uses a partnering approach as oppose to the Expert Model
(where the consultant tells the client what to do), or the Resource Model (where the client tells the consultant what to do).
A Partnership Model (where client and consultant/coach/trainer are equal partners) is characterised by mutual respect and trust
in the competency of the other forms the foundation of all the networking partners. It is an attitude that leverages the
strengths of all the role players through joint decisions and shared objectives, thereby ensuring sustainable results.

De Nova Consulting believes that South Africa is the most exciting transformational place in the world today. A whole society has not
just transitioned into a democracy without any bloodshed but also created a people feeling responsible for making South Africa a better
place to live in, in spite of the social challenges of corruption, crime and violence. This environment, in our opinion provides a "primordial
soup" - a potential for the creation of a new consciousness that can spread into the continent of Africa.
One of the most powerful social structures in today's society is that of the corporation. American futurist and social commentator, John
Renesh says that "as people continue on their individual paths of self-actualisation, the enterprises, institutions, and companies where
human beings work will need to change dramatically. If they don't, the fate of these organizations is simple. The more conscious
people will leave these places and refuse to invest their energies if they are asked to co-opt their values… The companies and
institutions that will thrive - attracting the more conscious people who are committed to evolving spiritually will become "conscious
organizations" since they become committed to learning, growing and being more aware, more responsible, and more aligned with
their stated values".
De Nova Consulting believes that South African individuals have a strong need to make a difference. A large percentage of us work
within the corporate environment and as a powerful social structure, the corporation can provide a critical mass of people changing the
world into a better place. Imagine what will happen when these organisations of people, with high levels of emotional and spiritual
intelligence stand together to make a difference - it will be the most powerful transformational tool in the transcendence of this
country to a higher level of consciousness, characterised by what Maslow called meta-needs of truth, beauty, uniqueness, perfection,
justice, playfulness, goodness and simplicity.
De Nova is the Latin for new Beginning and symbolises the strong belief that we want to be part of the new consciousness.

Background:
About us
Guiding principles:
Our people:
As part of this exciting journey De Nova
Consulting uses the following guiding
principles in providing a service:
Change and growth is not a drawn out
process, it can happen quickly yet it
never stops - it evolves to higher level
of consciousness.
Consulting uses the following guiding
principles in providing a service:
- Consulting, coaching and education
are respectively a relationship of
equal partnership between two
bodies who are whole and have the
ego strength, intention and
resources to realise their own
potential. The role of De Nova
Consulting is to provide the process,
hold the agenda and present a
supportive environment for this
wisdom to actualise. It is never
about De Nova Consulting, always
about the client's goals, objectives,
values, and vision about life.
- An environment of warmth,
empathy, respect and realness
provides an invitation to the client to
challenge him/herself to be who
he/she was born to be - actualising
potential through real connection by
putting thought into action.
- Reflection without actualising is
dreaming - beautiful but ineffective.
Dreams are actualised one step at a
time towards a well formed
measurable outcome. Effective
consulting, training and coaching
involve challenging a client for
accountability and realness.
- People and organisations often know
what to do and are hindered in
being fully who they are through self
sabotaging and internal interference.
Processes exist that can assist in
dealing with these inner "dragons".
Change and growth is not a drawn out
process, it can happen quickly yet it
never stops - it evolves to higher level
of consciousness.
