About me
I am a certified Conversational Intelligence® (C-IQ) coach and facilitator and run individual and group coaching interactions and immersion workshops. I am the first person in Oman to qualify in C-IQ with Judith E. Glaser.
I am a Conversational Intelligence® Coach, an Executive and Business Coach, a Mentor, a Leadership Development and HR Consultant and a Training Facilitator who is qualified in Marketing, Occupation-Directed Education, Training and Development Practice, and Executive Coaching. I am a South African Businesswoman with extensive Human Resource, Training, Business, Management, Project Management, Marketing, Sales, Retailing, Consulting and Corporate and Leadership Coaching experience.
With my vast amount of business and life experience, I make coaching, consulting, mentoring, and training real as well as fun and memorable. I encourage life-long learning and development.
Coaching
Using Conversational Intelligence®, I inspire leaders to empower their teams with trust and accountability, to unleash their creativity, and to build a bridge to collaboratively co-create and deliver even greater success and results. I encourage managers to develop their teams to collaborate, to connect, to build trust and to take responsibility for their own success.
I motivate and guide people to take ownership of their own growth and development and to identify and resolve their own problems making informed decisions. This makes a difference in their lives and enables them to achieve their personal best and find personal fulfilment and happiness.
I run both business and personal retreats: join me for the From Fear to Forgiveness to Freedom Retreat. A life-changing transformative Bosnian Retreat on learning to forgive and discover unlimited possibilities.
TESTIMONIALS
I had the pleasure of working with Lois over a period of 10 years. She has presented tailor-made training programs to various teams I worked with, including teams in the healthcare sector, oil and gas sector, and finally the MICE industry. Lois was always a capable trainer/coach, who, via her inspiring personality, was able to reach out to different groups of people and always left the clients happy.
Lois has consistently proven that creativity and thinking outside the box are her forte! She has shared various models linking conversation and modern leadership and created programs that enhanced team spirit and collaborative learning.
I would not hesitate to recommend Lois for a role that requires a dedicated, knowledgeable, and well-rounded individual. The coach in her always shines as she endeavours to assist others in unlocking their potentials and work their way up their career ladders.

I have worked with Lois for more than 6 years during my tenure with Suhail Bahwan Automobiles on various developmental initiatives like Training, Assessment Centre and Executive Coaching and I found her to be extremely good and professional in her work in all aspects. She has coached some of our high potential employees, nurtured them, and helped them bring out their underlying talents and grow into bigger roles. Lois has been a regular as an assessor in all our Assessment Centre sessions and has been of great support to us. She is a great person to work with, very friendly, supportive, and someone from whom you can learn a lot.
Thank you, Lois for the fantastic work that we did together. All the very best for your future assignments.

I write this letter to reinforce statements that I have made earlier to you about highly recommending Lois Wagner as an executive coach, facilitator and trainer. Lois has been actively involved with me and my senior management team for almost five years and during this time she has led us in training, personal and collective coaching and also in the field of facilitation. This has significantly enhanced the performance of my team in various aspects of management maturity and development.
Some of the most recent highlights include her facilitation of a meeting between general management and the trade union. A two-day off-site workshop developed by Lois in partnership with my team resulted in remarkable changes in our management/union relationship. As you may understand facilitating in a hostile union environment can easily be very confrontational but with the demeanour of Lois she made the complex relationships appear quite basic and simple. Her approach helped us focus on a win-win approach and the improvement in our relationship since the session is proof.
This type of performance can only come from a professional, committed, dedicated individual. Lois was creative, intuitive and confident in her mediation and helped the team focus on what was important in developing a working relationship. She remained unbiased while challenging various viewpoints, listening with high accuracy and consistency and encouraging when opposing views were expressed.
Lois personally coached me in public speaking and prepared me for a congress of over four hundred industry peers where I delivered a paper. Her insights into my paper were thought-provoking and useful. She assisted me in the preparation of both the material and my delivery of the presentation. Her coaching enabled me to receive the accolade of the best paper and delivery of the three-day session.
Lois is a great support and always leaves the participants feeling heard and understood. With a positive, energetic, straightforward and fun style, she is patient and understanding and makes all interactions enjoyable and stimulating.

I got to interact and attend Lois’s training session for the higher management & middle level management of my Ex employer in Muscat. Lois is a very cooperative & jolly trainer and can handle an array of topics. She has a very strong imagination index with which she can unfold a very difficult topic in a very systematically easy way. Hope to see and attend more of her sessions!
