General Questions

Hero-ing is a coaching practice founded by Ms. Herold and Mr. Ewing that serves both business and individual clients. Our mission is to create the conditions for heroism to emerge—one heart, one team, one organization at a time. We define heroism as everyday courage: a person determined to love well and do good.

Our approach is strengths-based, focusing on what’s already working rather than what needs fixing. We believe people don’t need fixing—they need to be seen clearly.

Hero-ing is grounded in a strengths-based philosophy. We don’t believe in fixing people or organizations—we believe in seeing clearly what’s already there and building on existing strengths.

Our approach is direct, honest, and focused on sustainable change rather than quick fixes. We create space for genuine reflection and growth, not just surface-level transformation.

Hero-ing is based in Johannesburg, South Africa. We serve clients across South Africa and offer both in-person and virtual coaching sessions to accommodate different needs and locations.

Approach & Philosophy

Strengths-based coaching focuses on identifying and building upon what’s already working, rather than fixating on what’s broken. We believe real growth happens when people operate from their strengths, not when they’re constantly trying to fix their weaknesses.

This doesn’t mean ignoring challenges—it means addressing them from a position of strength rather than deficit.

No. Coaching is forward-focused and action-oriented, helping you clarify goals and develop strategies to achieve them. Therapy typically addresses past experiences and mental health concerns.

While coaching can be deeply transformative, it’s not a substitute for therapy. We may recommend therapy if we believe it would better serve your needs.

Our founders, Ms. Herold and Mr. Ewing, are experienced professional coaches with extensive training in strengths-based methodologies. They bring deep expertise in leadership development, team dynamics, and organizational coaching.

Hero-ing maintains high standards of professional practice and ongoing development.
