How executive coach Tshepo Matlou will help unlock your leadership potential

In today’s fast-changing business environment, leaders are under more pressure than ever to inspire teams, navigate uncertainty, and deliver lasting results.

International executive coach Tshepo Matlou believes the secret to sustainable success lies in strategy and skill, but also in developing a powerful, balanced mindset.

With over two decades of experience in management and executive leadership across South Africa’s private and public sectors, Matlou now dedicates his career to helping professionals and teams thrive.

His coaching approach focuses on self-mastery, growth, and performance excellence and empowering leaders to overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

Matlou’s own leadership journey began early. At just 21, he was appointed to a management role in one of South Africa’s largest corporates, an experience that led him to seek mentoring and coaching to strengthen his leadership abilities.

Over the years, he rose through the ranks to become an executive at a national IT company before transitioning into full-time coaching.

Now, as a Change Partner Coach, Matlou works with individuals, leaders, and teams to align strategy, improve collaboration, and build systems that enhance performance.

His clients benefit from a model that balances accountability with creativity, providing a safe space to explore ideas, reflect on challenges, and commit to growth.

Speaking to Stephen Grootes on The Money Show Matlou says through his coaching, he aims to help others move forward with focus, clarity, and conviction.

"What we do in coaching, we don't advise. We don't tell executives what to do. But what we do, we work with them, cultivating what they know, and how we can grow that. Helping them to see blind spots and also to be able to look at areas of development," said Matlou.

"With coaching, we make the assumption you might have the skill, and not know how to use it. You might have the expertise or experience and require support from someone else who won't judge you. Someone who's not emotionally involved," added Matlou.
