About Me

Yumna Aysen is a success coach and motivational speaker who has a passion for helping people find purpose, clarity, happiness and success. She ultimately aims to help people become the best version of themselves and to create a life that they can’t wait to wake up to and live every day. Yumna has been featured in Medium and interviewed on national television and on local radio in South Africa including eNCA, The Afternoon Express Show and Cape Talk Radio. She has also been featured in the Weekend Argus and on Bizcommunity.

Her coaching style is very integrative in style by offering a holistic approach touching on every single aspect of a person’s life including: life, career, business, leadership, and overcoming the fear of public speaking. She does this through 1-on-1 coaching and group coaching to help equip people with the needed tools/resources and guidance in order to release their full potential not only in their personal lives but in their careers and business too. Yumna is just a facilitator in her client’s journey to understanding the root cause rather than addressing the symptoms that manifest itself in your life. She creates bespoke programs for each client and believes each individual has what it takes to design the life that they desire if they really want it.

Ballard, President & CEO, Scholarship America

  • I Am PerspectiveGaining perspective one conversation at a time.

    "Right now, there's a level of false empathy that we exude as people. But if I sit here and talk with you and you tell me about intimate stories about what's going on in your home and how that's affecting you, it becomes different. " - Jo'rell

    I Am Perspective curates programs that are intended to nurture and respect each and every shared perspective, providing a safe space for all, free of judgement or personal inhibitions stemming from societal pressures, like the need to be ‘politically correct.’ With targeted explorative questions, every conversation also challenges participants to dive deep within themselves to uncover the “why” behind their current perspective.
