I believe that every individual has boundless potential to achieve and exceed their personal and professional goals. As a Sport & Performance Psychologist and the CEO of Human Interest and the Janko Kotzé Performance Institute, I channel this belief into consulting and facilitating growth for people around the globe.

With over 15 years of experience as a Management Consultant, I have helped more than 75 organizations amplify their impact by designing people-centric solutions that empower teams and individuals to realize their full potential.

Beyond my work with organizations, I support elite athletes and sports teams in their pursuit of excellence. My deep understanding of performance psychology, combined with the mindset of top performers, has guided athletes to Olympic finals and teams to record-breaking achievements. My own experience as a national-level athlete representing South Africa at the youth, junior, and senior levels gives me a unique, first-hand perspective on the mindset required for elite performance, which further informs my approach as a psychologist and coach.

My core values—Excellence, Grit, and Compassion—are at the heart of everything I do. With a steadfast commitment to these principles, I aim to make a positive impact on the lives of those I have the privilege to work with. Whether working with individuals or teams, I am passionate about helping others elevate their performance and pursue personal fulfilment with intentionality and purpose.
