About the Author — Nhlanhla Nene
�� Welcome to Mindedjoy
I’m Nhlanhla Nene, a Mindvalley Certified Life Coach with an Advanced Programme in Personal and Corporate Coaching, specializing in Narrative Coaching. I am also the founder of Mindedjoy, a wellbeing platform dedicated to nurturing emotional and spiritual growth through mindful, intentional living.
My professional journey began in the corporate world, where along my journey I qualified as a Certified Management Accountant and worked across various industries—including retail, manufacturing, logistics, mining, and construction. During those years, I became deeply curious about why employees struggled to stay engaged and why so many managers found it difficult to inspire their teams. These questions led me to pursue coaching in 2016–2017, followed by my Life Coach certification in 2019. I also served in the CIMA South Africa Mentorship Programme, supporting experiential learning and leadership development.
Before founding Mindedjoy Coaching full-time in 2023, I spent several years working part-time facilitating performance process workshops. My work focused on helping individuals reconnect with forgotten strengths, uncover hidden potential, and expand their self-awareness. Today, through blogs, workshops, and one-on-one sessions, my mission is to make wellbeing accessible, practical, and deeply personal—helping clients align who they are with how they live and lead.
As a Wellbeing Coach, I support high-achieving professionals who want more than conventional success. My work integrates the science of positive psychology with practical coaching tools to help clients:
close the Achievement–Fulfillment Gap,
build emotional resilience,
cultivate daily joy and meaning, and
develop sustainable habits that support long-term wellbeing.
From gratitude practices to strengths development, from mindset shifts to relationship enhancement, I help clients create inner success that supports high performance—rather than draining it. Because true wellbeing elevates every area of life, clients often view this work as a transformational investment in their long-term happiness, relationships, leadership capacity, and overall quality of life.
