Meet Thabo Pitse

“As an ActionCOACH Business Coach I have the knowledge and expertise to help others, which is my passion.” – Thabo Pitse

Where it began

Since a child Thabo knew that he was destined for entrepreneurship. He loved watching movies with people travelling the world, closing business deals and leading other people along that journey.

After school he studied medicine but soon his childhood belief was reaffirmed when he realised it wasn’t what he wanted to do. He then went into music, recording CDs, booking events and getting his first real taste of self-employment. His love for business grew from there.

Getting an ActionCOACH

Thabo always believed in mentorship, he had multiple people throughout his life fill this role in different ways until he met an ActionCOACH – Diederik van Niekerk.

Thabo hadn’t come across a business coach before and loved the information Diederik shared with him. Diederik took Thabo along to an ActionCOACH conference and he says “Immediately I thought to myself that I want to become part of this community, I signed the contract and said I’ll definitely coach with you”.

Three months into the coaching of one of his retail businesses, it grew its profits by 300%. He started building his team with ActionCOACH principles – the team grew, they became much more efficient and all their clients became their raving fans.

Business Milestones

Thabo had been running a training, mentoring and ‘sort-of’ coaching business together with a University in his area. He felt that the teachings were too theory based and wanted the expertise in practical implementation as well. Thabo felt that theory can only get you so far in business so joining ActionCOACH – the worlds leading business coaching firm, was the obvious choice and next step for practical business knowledge. Their almost 30 years of tested and proven practical systems were the missing, important, link.

He bought his franchise and started as an ActionCOACH in the beginning of 2020. He now combines the theory and the practical implementation from ActionCOACH to provide a much more rounded approach with his clients.

Personal Moments

Thabo says that since becoming an ActionCOACH “I have seen tremendous success personally, it has actually helped me to gain focus in my life. I’ve managed to have a good lifestyle, a family lifestyle. I started setting better goals and it has improved the quality of my life greatly. It has helped me to become a better father and a better husband. As a person, the personal growth from being an ActionCOACH and using the ActionCOACH principles has changed my life.”

Who is ActionCOACH?2024-05-06T12:51:26+02:00

ActionCOACH is the world’s number one business coaching firm. Started in 1993 by Brad Sugars, ActionCOACH is the largest business coaching company in the world with offices and business coaches from Singapore to Sydney to San Francisco. From the inception, ActionCOACH has been set up with you, the business owner in mind.

As the alternative to conventional and costly consulting firms, ActionCOACH is designed to give you both short-term assistance and long-term training through its affordable and effective mentoring approach.

Few companies have the experience in their field that ActionCOACH does, having worked with business owners both in group coaching sessions and one-on-one coaching programmes for more than twenty years.

In all of our coaching programmes, we are focused on our exclusive business building strategies that will help you achieve the ActionCOACH definition of a business; “A commercial, profitable enterprise that works, without you.”

ActionCOACH works with more than 15,000 clients every week in over 80 countries worldwide. The business owners, totaling in the hundreds of thousands, who ActionCOACH has helped over the years, can attest to the power and strength of the ActionCOACH system.

Based on sales, marketing, financial and business management systems, ActionCOACH not only shows you how to increase your business revenues and profits, often quite dramatically,  but also how to develop your business so that you, as the owner, can work less, relax more and enjoy business ownership, and it all starts with our coaches.

Our Business Coaches have broad and deep business experience, and are fellow business owners who have invested their time, money and energy to make their own various business ventures successful. They are truly every business owner’s unreasonable friend and because of that, your success truly does determine our success.

Will it cost me extra to implement the strategies?2024-05-06T13:35:44+02:00

No, implementing the strategies is part of the ActionCOACH experience. Give your ActionCOACH just a half-hour and you’ll be shown how to turn your marketing into an investment that yields sales and profits rather than just running up your expenses.

In most cases, an ActionCOACH will actually save you money when that coach discovers areas that aren’t working for you or your business. For some marketing programs, you will need to spend some money to make some money.

Yet, when you follow our easy-to-use testing and measuring systems, you won’t be risking your money on each campaign. And when we find the campaigns that work, we make sure you keep profiting from them time and again.

Remember, when you default to the accounting way of saving costs, you can only add a few percentage points to your bottom line.

Following the ActionCOACH formulas, the returns from your sales and marketing can be exponential.

Is ActionCOACH SA available nationally?2025-04-08T11:26:04+02:00

Yes, we have certified ActionCOACH business coaches across South Africa and neighbouring countries, which means you can access local expertise with national consistency. Whether you prefer virtual coaching or face-to-face sessions, we’re equipped to support you wherever you are.
