About Me

I am Chantelle Solomon, the Owner/Founder of Shift Synergy and its Principle Development Enabler.


I am different things to different people in their particular context – Executive Coach, Team Development Consultant, Facilitator and also a member of the CA (SA) – South African Institute of Chartered Accountants.

A Holistic Process

As part of my process, I reveal the true purpose, aspirations and unlock the resourcefulness of the leader, the team or the individual I partner with. What I do and how I help people rests on my own passions…

I am passionate about living a purposeful life, about shifting leaders and individuals to authentically attain their true aspirations. I am passionate about helping to build the collective leadership in teams that bestows greater value to the whole business and its stakeholders on a sustainable basis. I thrive on helping people and teams to have conversations that strengthen relationships to achieve better outcomes.

My core values are trust, authenticity, care and respect for people.

A solid business background

To walk the talk I have worn the shoes of those I aspire to inspire…

My business knowledge and experience has been crafted from almost twenty years as a finance professional in the corporate world. This included leadership positions at various echelons of business, including Directorship. I have engaged with leaders and teams in various organisations across the Petrochemical, Technology, Manufacturing, Engineering, Banking and Financial Services sectors.

Why Shift Synergy?

Our partnering with businesses
is greatly enhanced through:

  • Solid business knowledge and experience garnered through my personal leadership journey. This encompassed taking up formal and informal leadership roles at many levels of business
  • Knowledge and experience gaineds from personal exposure to a variety of schools of leadership and coaching as part of USB’s Masters in Management Coaching program.
  • Exploration and continuing integration of neuro-linguistic programming (‘NLP’), Conversational Intelligence® (‘C-iQ’) and systemic team coaching.

This has equipped me to

  • Understand and appreciate the significance of expected business outcomes whilst considering the influence of all the participants in the business environment
  • Appreciate the personal and professional demands placed on leaders to achieve these outcomes with their teams and others in an increasingly complex, fast-paced and volatile global environment
  • Devise and hone concepts, models and principles drawn from behavioural sciences, coaching and leadership literature and apply these as needed within the partnering process.

    I am an experienced executive and team coach, facilitator, trainer and public speaker with more than 7 years coaching experience and 30+ years corporate experience in financial services. I follow an eclectic approach to coaching, using tools and techniques according to the client’s needs and objectives. Through coaching I have found my purpose in life and a career that puts me in ‘flow’.

    My qualifications include a MPhil: Management Coaching (University of Stellenbosch Business School), MPhil: Knowledge Management (University of Stellenbosch) and BSc: Information Systems (UNISA).

    When I work with individual clients my purpose is to help them develop deep meaning and awareness in order to grow and maximise their potential to their own and the advantage of others. Gratitude and making the most of every day is one of my personal objectives and I aim for clients to balance their mind, body and heart.

    Team coaching is about shifting from “I” to “WE” and for the individuals of the team to collectively be more than the sum of their parts. Team coaching requires a very different approach from individual coaching and involves not only trust and psychological safety but also aspects such as purpose, values, processes, stakeholders. I have received an Individual Team Coaching accreditation from the Global Team Coaching Institute and European Mentoring and Coaching Council in order to address this new and complex field of enabling high value creating teams.

    In addition to team coaching knowledge and experience, I am a certified Conversational Intelligence Coach (Neuroscience of building trust) as well as trained in the Neurozone® Brain Performance Diagnostic for Well-being and High Performance and a Specialist Strengths Coach.

    Some of my clients include Volkswagen South Africa, University of Stellenbosch Business School, University of Stellenbosch Health Science, Cape Union Mart, Transaction Junction, DVT, Inspired Testing
