Leadership · Innovation · Transformation

Own your purpose.
Lead with love.
Build a legacy.

I am Barbara Mamolefi Magongoa — a certified Executive Coach, the innovation partner behind ZeroToProfit, and a trusted leadership partner to high-profile leaders in their career-defining moments. I offer presence, a safe thinking space, and the warmth of someone who has walked the road herself.

Barbara Mamolefi Magongoa, Executive Coach

My story

An experienced leader, shaped by interactions and relationships with people.

Innovation and strategy, in the service of people.

I bring over two decades in corporate leadership, specialising in IT, strategy, and human-centred design thinking. I have faced many challenges that shaped the leader I am today — and looking back, I know it was not through my own strength alone that I thrived, but through the encouragement of those walking beside me.

That is why I coach. My clients benefit from the energy, determination and sense of humour I share generously. My real gift is people, community and relationship building — and I am, personally, constantly in transformation and continuously learning.

I bring a rare combination of strategic perspective and technology understanding, moving comfortably between future-focused thinking, executive engagement and practical transformation.

Barbara Mamolefi Magongoa · Executive Coach

As a coach, I work with people and teams on two things: how they lead and how they innovate.

How I coach

Presence in the moments that define a career.

I partner with leaders through succession, scaling, retrenchment and career change. I listen intently and provide a safe thinking and reflection space while they navigate their unique leadership journeys. Each engagement is uniquely tailored — warm, direct and deeply personal. I walk a mile in your shoes and hold up the mirror until you recognise, and cannot unsee, the greatness within.

For small businesses

ZeroToProfit

Innovation for what comes next.

ZeroToProfit is my innovation programme for small businesses ready to grow through innovation and continuous improvement. We begin with an innovation or business conversation to explore where you are, the opportunities ahead and what your business needs next.

That first conversation is distinct from coaching. If coaching is the right next step, we can have a separate coaching conversation afterwards.
