About

Dr Marli Jooste holds a PhD degree in Psychology from the University of Pretoria. She also completed her MA degree in Psychology, BPsych Honours Degrees in Counselling and Psychometry respectively, as well as a BA Health Psychology degree at University of Johannesburg. Being an eternal student at heart, she tries to stay abreast with ongoing training and development. She subsequently expanded her skillset and ever since qualified as a Conflict Dynamics Accredited Mediator.

Following a corporate career within the Human Capital sphere, Dr Jooste took a leap of faith and bravely left the formal corporate world behind in 2011. She initially started to consult at already established psychology practices, but soon started to build her own clientele. The latter consists across a vast range of industries and sectors on middle, senior and executive management levels.

Since being trained across various modalities of coaching, she is often called upon to assist in personal, business and/or leadership coaching. This often in alignment with the broader strategy and succession planning of the respective coachee’s workplace, as well as management readiness. Coaching is sometimes incorporated within the leadership development programs being facilitated in association with BluePeaks (www.bluepeaks.co.za).

Dr Jooste is a personal growth activist and aspires to journey with others in finding their true North within. As a result, Dr Jooste embarks on mediation that prioritizes self-determination and personal growth, rather than solely focusing on reaching a settlement. She aims to facilitate this growth along with a mutual beneficial outcome to mediate workplace disputes / conflicts.

Furthermore, Dr Jooste serves as director of PhysEQFiT (Pty) Ltd., a wellness company and co-owns the PhysEQFiT Guesthouse (www.physeqfit-guest.co.za) in Centurion. Some of her accolades received include being awarded as Country and Regional Winner of the CEO Global Top Pan African Awards as part of ‘Africa’s Most Influential Women in Business and Government’ within the SME sector, as well as recipient of the Panache 6th Annual Gauteng Women of Wonder and Visionary “I Conquer” Awards.

When not at work or behind the textbooks, Dr Jooste enjoys a round of golf, swimming and the occasional road running and cycling. She is an avid reader and traveller alike.
