What my clients have to say
Making the decision to work with Rhonda was one of the best decisions I have made.
After 30 years in the same industry it was time for the change. I knew what I wanted to do and was close to making it happen but just needed help with the last step in getting there. Working with Rhonda gave me the courage, strength and confidence to now be doing something I love and am passionate about.

"Rhonda is an absolute professional in everything that she does.
She has a natural way to make you feel like you are the most important person to her. Rhonda tailor makes her programs and sessions to suit your personal and business needs. We met Rhonda pre COVID-19 and this helped us make some lifestyle decisions that encouraged us to launch out from not only our business but our personal lives as well.
If you are up for the journey, Rhonda will help you with the ride."

'My life coaching journey with Rhonda has been very successful. She allowed me to face things in my past and learn how these events shape who we are today and the choice to accept them as they are, acknowledge they are there and ensure that they do not continue to impact the rest of my life.
She has a lot of tools and resources available to cater to everyone's needs.
It has enabled me to enjoy my life and continue with a positive attitude with the changes I have made in my life.'

Rhonda is an absolute gem. She has a natural gift for helping you slow down and really understand yourself — your patterns, your blind spots, the things that quietly drive your decisions without you even realizing it. Working with her felt like someone finally handed me a clearer lens on my own life.
She doesn’t just listen, she truly sees you — and then helps you see the people around you with so much more clarity and compassion. Every session left me with something I could actually use, not vague encouragement, but real, practical insight into myself and how I show up in my relationships.
If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to help you grow, both as a person and in how you connect with others, Rhonda is exactly that person.
I walked into Rhonda Maughan’s space thinking I had to be in control of everything around me, I felt like my world was in chaos, I knew I needed help, and I had this idea in my head that seeing a life coach was going to somehow help me regain control. To be fair I was a mess, Rhonda was a rock. Her authenticity, her ability to hear me, not just listen, the way she helped me unpack my narrative and default settings was tough and at the same time enlightening.
I have learnt a lot about myself in the last 18months and I have plenty more to learn. I believe slowly, I am starting to reframe my narrative, I am starting to see the beauty in the imperfect human that I am, and I work hard to surrender the need to control the world around me but instead make conscious decisions to not let that world own the person I am.
Rhonda has been and continues to be an influential human in my life, I can not thank her enough for the time, effort, and space she provides. She is amazing and I would highly recommend her beautiful wairua (spirit) to all humans looking for transformational change.

WHAT MY CORPORATE CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
Rhonda Maughan has been a great asset to Livingstone through her leadership of the Understanding Leadership workshops. Her ability to create an engaging and impactful learning experience has been instrumental in fostering growth and self-awareness among our team members.
The workshops, centred around DISC profiling, provide participants with a deeper understanding of their leadership style and communication preferences. Rhonda’s expertise and facilitation skills ensure that each individual not only gains insight into their own profile but also develops practical strategies to enhance communication and collaboration within their teams.
Her approachable and insightful style resonates with participants, empowering them to recognise their strengths and address areas for improvement. The positive feedback from our team highlights Rhonda’s ability to connect with diverse individuals and make complex concepts accessible and applicable.
Thank you, Rhonda, for your dedication and passion for empowering others to lead with confidence and clarity.
Over the past year, Rhonda Maughan has played a pivotal role in strengthening our culture and
lifting the performance of our leadership team. We were already a high-performing group, but not always coordinated or cohesive. A colleague recommended Rhonda, and from the outset it was clear why — she brings a grounded, approachable style that connects with people rather than speaking at them. Nothing about her approach feels scripted or cookie-cutter; it comes from real, lived experience, and you can feel her genuine passion for helping people grow.
Through her work with us, we’ve seen meaningful shifts: stronger collaboration, clearer communication, more aligned goals, and deeper relationships across the team. One of the biggest breakthroughs was recognising that we all operate with different priorities, motivations, and communication styles — and learning how to use that diversity as a strength rather than a source of friction.
Her coaching lifted the leadership team first, building trust, respect, and cohesion. Rolling the work out to the wider team has taken more time, but the progress is real and ongoing. While the impact isn’t tied to a single metric, the cultural improvements have absolutely influenced how we perform and how we work together.
Some individuals have embraced the opportunity and made lasting personal changes; others have been more cautious. But Rhonda creates the space for growth — and those who lean in benefit enormously.
If you’re considering working with Rhonda, know this: it’s confronting at times, because real change always is. But change is possible, and Rhonda is the kind of coach who helps you get there with honesty, empathy, and grit.
I came into coaching with Rhonda with a healthy level of scepticism. I’ve done plenty of personal development independently, so I wondered what a coach could add beyond what I was already doing. The value, it turns out, is having a skilled external person who can see what you can’t see, challenge your blind spots, and keep the work practical.
Rhonda doesn’t let you stay at the surface. She helps you get clear on the real issue(s), then brings proven tools and frameworks (particularly around communication, leadership style, and having confident conversations) and helps you personalise them, which helps you turn them into actions you actually apply in day-to-day work. That translation, from “insight” to “behaviour”, is where the change happened for me.
If you’re on the fence because you think coaching is vague or overly emotional, that hasn’t been my experience here. It’s direct, professional, and focused on growth you can measure in how you show up, communicate, and lead. I’d recommend Rhonda to any leader who’s serious about getting better — even if they think they’ve ‘already done the work

"Rhonda facilitated some development sessions for the team leading us on an inciteful but fun filled journey. The sessions flew by and we were all left eagerly awanting the next instalment. An engaging and worthwhile investment in both team and personal development."
"We have contracted Rhonda to provide Leadership in Practice training for our current and aspiring leaders. There has been excellent feedback from our staff who participated in the sessions." Working with Rhonda is easy. Because she has years of knowledge about tools and techniques linked with developing people, and is constantly looking for more, she can tailor the sessions to meet evolving needs as she goes. She pivots content and practical exercises based on the need and how the group are interacting with the material and each other.
We definitely got value.

Rhonda has been a facilitator for the WILSS Certificate in Business-First Line Management Level 4 course for the previous 2 years. A highly professional facilitator-kaiwhakahaere, she is always organised and detailed with the information she provides our students. Her natural repour with the students is both approachable and encouraging, bringing a warm sense of whanaungatanga (family) to the room, allowing every student to turn up to our classes as themselves. Her manaakitanga (caring nature, and ability to look after our students) is testament to the feedback we receive at the end of every course. Our students consistently speak highly of Rhonda as a facilitator of our learning environments. Her ability to create challenging and thought-provoking situations are often attributed to the life changing moments our students speak about. I enjoy working alongside Rhonda in a professional capacity, she is an incredible facilitator, an inspirational leader and a fantastic individual.
