At ReadyPeople, We Don’t Just Train Skills – We Transform How People Work Together
ReadyPeople is a specialist training and coaching consultancy that helps organisations unlock the full potential of their people by transforming how they lead, collaborate, and serve.
We’re based in South Africa and work with clients across industries to build human-centred, high-performing workplace cultures.
Our approach is rooted in the belief that strong relationships drive strong results – whether it’s a leader inspiring their team, a project group navigating complexity, or a frontline staff member connecting with a customer.
What We Believe
We believe that business performance and human connection aren’t separate goals – they’re deeply linked.
We help organisations strengthen that link by developing the “soft skills” that produce hard results:
-
Self-awareness and emotional regulation
-
Clear communication and healthy boundaries
-
Team dynamics that foster trust and accountability
-
Empathy and responsiveness in customer experience
Because when people feel seen, understood, and empowered, they do their best work.
How We Work
We use a proven blend of psychology, coaching, and experiential learning to support sustainable growth. Our programmes are always tailored and grounded in tools that bring real insight and behaviour change.
Our work draws on:
-
Transactional Analysis: for understanding relationship patterns and communication dynamics
-
Emotional Intelligence (EI): to grow self-awareness and social effectiveness
-
The Enneagram: as a powerful lens for individual and team development
-
Functional Fluency and TIFF: for developing relational maturity and leadership fluency
Who We Work With
We support organisations of all sizes and across sectors – from corporate leadership teams to fast-paced call centres.
Our sweet spot is working with:
-
Leaders who want to grow beyond task management into conscious leadership
-
Teams working towards an ambitious goal, challenges, siloed behaviour, or internal conflict
-
Customer-facing teams seeking to shift from scripted service to meaningful connection
Whether you are trying to improve culture, unlock potential, or retain talent, we help you get there by working from the inside out.
