Claudina Hafenscher

A Coach Who Has Lived the Work

There is a particular kind of stuck that high-achieving people know well. You have done everything right. The credentials, the career, the recognition. And yet something persists beneath the surface: a quiet sense of disconnection, a ceiling you keep hitting, or a tiredness that no amount of productivity can resolve. Claudina Hafenscher has spent more than 25 years learning how to help people find the root of that experience and move through it.

Claudina is the founder of Have & Share Coaching, a holistic coaching and corporate facilitation practice based in Glen Marais, Gauteng, working with clients across South Africa and globally. She holds accreditation as a COMENSA Senior Coach, the highest professional standard for coaches in South Africa, as well as international certifications as an Accredited Master mBIT Coach and Certified PQ Coach. Before she was a coach, she spent more than 25 years as an educational kinesiologist, working with children and adults on the most fundamental question in human development: why is it so difficult to access what you already know you are capable of?

That question has never left her practice. It has only deepened.

Her approach to coaching is holistic in the truest sense: she works with the whole person, not just the presenting issue. This means integrating four evidence-informed methodologies that each address a different layer of human experience. Positive Intelligence (PQ) builds the mental fitness to handle challenges without chronic stress or self-sabotage. mBIT coaching (Multiple Brain Integration Techniques) brings the head, heart, and gut into alignment so that decisions are made from the full range of human intelligence, not just the rational mind. Educational Kinesiology restores cognitive agility through body-mind integration, particularly useful for executives and teams operating under sustained pressure. And the Reality Check EcoMetric provides C-suite leaders and HR teams with data on the invisible human dynamics that are driving, or quietly undermining, organisational performance.

What makes Claudina's work distinctive is not the methodologies themselves, but the way she holds them together. In a single coaching engagement, she moves fluidly between the rigour of the PQ framework, the somatic intelligence of mBIT work, and the body-based precision of kinesiology as the moment requires. Her clients do not experience four separate tools: they experience one coherent process that meets them where they are and goes where they need to go.

Over more than a decade as a senior coach, Claudina has worked with more than 500 individuals and facilitated sessions for over 10,000 corporate delegates across 15 major organisations in South Africa and internationally. Her individual clients include executives navigating significant leadership transitions, entrepreneurs who have built successful businesses but feel quietly trapped inside them, and professionals who are skilled and capable but have lost touch with what the work is actually for. Her corporate work includes team alignment facilitation, leadership retreats, and culture diagnostics for organisations that know something is off but cannot quite name what it is.

She has a particular gift for the things that are hardest to say out loud. Her clients consistently describe her as someone who can name what they have been unable to name, and who creates enough safety that naming it actually leads somewhere. She is direct without being blunt, challenging without being harsh, and committed to outcomes that last rather than insights that fade. She does not believe in coaching as a space for exploration without destination. She believes in both.

Before founding Have & Share, Claudina worked extensively in educational settings, helping children and young adults remove the invisible blocks that prevented them from learning and performing at their potential. That work taught her something she still regards as foundational: most limitations are not fixed. They are patterns. And patterns can be changed when you know how to work with them correctly.

That conviction drives everything at Have & Share. Whether she is working with an individual who has hit a wall they cannot see around, a team that has stopped trusting one another, or an organisation trying to understand why its culture is not matching its values, Claudina brings the same quality of attention: rigorous, warm, and stubbornly optimistic about what becomes possible when people stop managing their limitations and start genuinely building past them.

What Drives Her

Claudina is drawn to the space where real change happens: not the surface fix, but the root cause. Whether she's working with a CEO navigating a complex transition, a team that has forgotten how to trust each other, or an individual who has built a successful life that no longer feels meaningful, she brings the same quality of presence: curious, direct, and deeply committed to outcomes that last.

She has seen what is possible when people stop managing their limitations and start building genuine capacity. That is the work she shows up to do, every session.
