who we are
itiner is a boutique coaching and leadership development consultancy, born out of the belief that physical and mental health and wellbeing are key to effective leadership. This is a unique approach in leadership development. We focus on the whole person, and go above and beyond the coaching and development of the leadership competencies required to excel at different career stages.
itiner is the latin word for ‘journey’, and represents a metaphor for the conscious path taken by someone who is willing to tackle their life challenges and achieve their goals.
itiner was founded in 2020 as an answer to the challenges the covid-19 pandemic brought to the workplace, which have resulted in employees across the generational divide re-assessing their priorities, leading them to want to experience a better work-life balance and to look for a deeper meaning both at work and in life.
