ABOUT GARY
I’m Gary Hirson, a transformational coach, SAQA-certified trainer, and certified breathwork instructor dedicated to helping individuals and teams unlock their full potential. Through structured coaching and workshops, I support the development of executive functioning skills, personal leadership, and wellbeing — with breathwork as a powerful tool for deepening self-awareness, resilience, and restoration.
With experience in corporate, entrepreneurial, and creative fields, I empower organizations and teams through tailored workshops and coaching programs. As an export sales manager, I successfully managed agents across five East African countries, refining my skills in leadership, team dynamics, and interpersonal communication. Additionally, as an entrepreneur, I founded, managed, and sold two businesses, gaining deep insights into professional growth, operational success, and navigating challenges in the business landscape.
Beyond coaching, I am a published author of three interactive children’s books—two translated into African languages—and an accomplished photographer whose work has been exhibited locally and internationally, including a permanent display in Lucerne, Switzerland. I’ve also designed and facilitated production training programs and leadership initiatives for educational institutions and the film industry, collaborating with NPOs and NGOs to inspire growth and transformation. This diverse background uniquely positions me to guide individuals and teams in achieving their goals, fostering collaboration, and unlocking their full potential.
