The team behind Teen Motto
Dr Mariheca Otto
The organisational climate, engagement and culture specialist
Mariheca is a powerhouse. Expect energy, insight and solutions based on measured data when you engage her services. Mariheca has a PhD in Business Management, with specific focus on culture measurement and has developed a strong client base of organisations that use her methodology to develop corporate strategies and drive corporate culture. Mariheca lives by the mantra, “If you can measure it, you can manage it.”
Independent measurement is always her starting point, building stakeholder communication programs and strategic business goals on the back of this valuable data. She believes that assessment results guide the holistic internal marketing strategy, which can include creative and informative workshops, structural changes, appropriate training and strategic coaching sessions. Data identifies the strategic drivers and then focussed interventions overcome the problems.
Mariheca specialises in:
• Organisational Development
• Research to assess the internal culture and climate of the organisation/team

Sue Hodson
teacher & Coach
I am a teacher with over 36 years experience and still passionate about education and teenagers! I love to facilitate the growth of individuals in all aspects of their lives and currently, am completing my Masters in developing emotional intelligence in South African teachers through Storytelling. As both a primary and high school teacher, specialising in Drama, I deal with socio-emotional aspects all the time.
Teenagers are often misunderstood and their emotional and psychological needs get pushed aside in favour of academics. I do not believe that one can learn properly if your inner world is in chaos. It is my desire to help teens to reorder their lives in order to be the best version of themselves that they can be.
