Transform Business Data into Actionable Insights
Business Intelligence - Data Integration, Integrity and Analytics
The term Business Intelligence (BI) refers to technologies, applications and practices for the collection, integration, analysis, and presentation of business information. The purpose of Business Intelligence is to support better business decision making.
It is of paramount importance that accurate information is given to the decision makers in an organization, so as to ensure that well-informed decisions can be made, and so as to ensure the sustainability of the business and retention and acquisition of customers.
Data is only as good as the information inputted into the software program. Remember the old adage: garbage in, garbage out. Well, nowhere will it show to be more true than when analyzing business data that has been captured incorrectly. These errors could cost millions, if not billions of dollars, and perhaps even the existence of the business.
It is therefore important to know the basics of Business Intelligence, factors you need to take into consideration when creating a Business Intelligence project, and how best to safeguard yourself from potential errors that can prove to be costly to the livelihood of business and its employees.

For decades, I focused on healing from within. It made sense to me that we project our inner world onto our outer world, and then our outer world reflects back to us our own internal conditioning. It was from this vantage point that I began to research as much as I could about the human condition, our true nature, why we are here, and how we can shift and shape our own lives by design.
For many years, I have felt a pull towards emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing, having had my own challenges in these areas of my life. I am very hands-on and practical in my coaching practices, through experiential learning more than just through pure academia. That is where change truly takes place.
After decades of being a Senior Executive, a Business Admin and HR Director, I found myself in a quandary. I was not getting younger, I had reached my Corporate ceiling, and I no longer felt I was contributing to the world in the way that I knew I could. I left the Corporate environment mid-2016, and for about a year I had my own HR Consultancy. That did not work out, and I continued to feel that I was not where I needed to be. Then my life come crashing down around me. I closed my business, was adamant that I did not want to go back to Corporate, and I began a journey of introspection to find out exactly what it is I wanted to do. In this time, I published my first book, 12 Steps to Loving You, a starting point for those who want to learn how to navigate the storms of life. In 2017, I came into contact with a spiritual classic called A Course in Miracles. This path is not for everyone. I initially battled with the terminology used, because although it is not a Christian course, it has some strong Christian language, and this rubbed me up the wrong way. I continued regardless. And I am grateful that I did. I realized that words have to be used as our main medium of communication. So, I inter-relate God with Love, and this makes me feel more comfortable and less resistant. This was just a mind block that I needed to overcome, and it did get easier over time.
I am a licensed HeartMath® Certified Mentor, a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, and I got my honorary doctorate degree in Metaphysics (USA). However, titles, certifications, qualifications and all forms of academic proof is just to show that academia has been learnt. But not everyone who has the necessary qualifications, are able to be efficient in the workplace. Theory is one thing, but integrating this knowledge into practical outputs in the workplace is something completely different. is I also have further qualifications and extensive experience in HR in the corporate world.
As an executive wellness coach, I help you deal with the daily stressors you face ad nauseum. I help you observe the core of where all problems exist – in the mind. This helps you work on changing your perception of what is really going on in your life, and also helps you get mentally and emotionally grounded, and brings you back to a well-adjusted balanced life.
