HI! I'M MUCHA
International, Award Winning Trainer, Moderator and Keynote Speaker
A self-professed Emotional Intelligence Fanatic, I am on a mission to transform Africa, changing hearts + minds, one leader at a time.
I believe that self awareness is a leadership superpower, and I support leaders to develop a deeper understanding of self in order to enhance leadership effectiveness. Emotions are data – signals that give leaders information about themselves and others. I believe that without enough EQ, leaders are probably not picking up these important signals or not seeing how their own emotions “colour” thinking (for good and for ill).
I am passionate about supporting leaders to learn the logic of emotions so they can cultivate a conducive environment for their teams.
As a Six Seconds Certified EQ Practitioner & EQ Coach, I work with organisations to leverage the scientifically-based skill of Emotional Intelligence to ignite a culture movement & drive engagement as well as successfully navigate change - in order to fuel sustainable performance.
I am driven to empower individuals to take ownership of their future by increasing personal effectiveness so that they can achieve their big, hairy, audacious goals
I am the Founder & Lead Changemaker at PTS Africa | The Emotional Intelligence Company. PTS Africa is a boutique, Pan African consultancy firm headquartered in Kenya, that is dedicated to the development to of people. At PTS Africa, people are considered to be a organisation’s most valuable asset – more valuable than the physical office, data and capital.
The success stories at PTS Africa have everything to do with the transformation of behaviour to drive organisational performance. People development, capacity building & employee wellbeing solutions are underpinned by a bedrock of Emotional Intelligence tools & methodologies, fuelled by the ideology that emotions drive people and people drive performance.
In my spare time, I work with teens & young people at church and in the community, mentoring them to develop greater self-efficacy. I also champion a gender-inclusive society as the Chair of the Gender Sector Board at the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA), the private sector apex and umbrella body set up in Kenya in 2003, to bring together business community in a single voice to engage and influence public policy.
I am a voracious reader, a budding saxophonist and a novice hiker who loves to spend time with my family in nature.

Testimonials
One of the best investments of time and money! I have participated in several courses run by Mucha and her team. I consider her expertise in coaching clients on emotional intelligence to be very effective. It is delivered in a well organized and articulated way. Mucha's thought provoking - "What, Why" questions during the sessions were complemented by practical exercises that prompted me to consider how to apply these reflections in the daily choices I was making for my work, career, creative pursuits and parenting choices. One of the biggest take aways -"Choosing myself" especially appreciating that I have a choice in how I react. I have taken part in the Unlock Potential With EQ Webinar Series and EQ Super Power: The Self Awareness Toolkit.

Attending the course (Unlock Potential With EQ) in the midst of the COVID uncertainty wave turned out to being the best decision I took - the moments of realization and awakenings were profound. The course woke me up inside to some of the things I was afraid to face head on, but also empowered me with the knowledge and skills to truly fully step into my journey of life. Mucha brought a contagious sense of calm and 'I-got-this' aura, which was just what I personally needed beyond the very informative course content.

I am so thankful that I came across Mucha's EQ course! Apart from the aha! moments I got especially on emotions being data - in essence that we should not judge them in being either right or wrong but learn to investigate the insights within - it also provided me with a roadmap on self- discovery, self- management and self- direction. And how the 3 intertwine to help me vibrate at a higher level at work and even on a personal level. I wish I had discovered her course sooner !! Thank you Mucha 🙏

Mucha’s EQ journey has been such an inspiration to me especially in that last 12 months when her EQ tips have been a source of resilience during what has been a very tough time for everyone. This piqued my interest to explore EQ a bit more and so l signed up for the Unlocking Potential EQ webinar which was a great introduction to really understanding how powerful a tool EQ will be as we try to adjust to our new way of being. The series was really well delivered with just the right amount of detail to be really useful and allowed interaction with others also embarking on the EQ journey. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore emotional intelligence on a personal or business level.
