By nature, I'm a well-organised creator. Juta appreciates establishing the systematical order and then enjoying going with the flow within it afterwards.

Kendal started out her career in Clinical Psychology and eventually took up the role of Director of People at Airmiles (a subsidiary of British Airways). There, she was struck by the need to reimagine what culture means at work because it was seen that culture always appeared as the “soft and fluffy” work. Yet, Kendal firmly believed that culture was, and still is, the hardest thing of all to build and is what’s behind any successful company.

This led Kendal to create the methodology behind The Sunday Times “Best Companies to Work For” list and what inspired her to start Untapped AI whose business is solely about helping companies make organisational culture shifts through digital coaching.

For Kendal, a central theme and mission that underlines what Untapped AI is today was changing the system to build a more equitable workplace. She realised that it was possible to create not only individual change, but systemic change throughout organisations. By partnering with co-founder Brendan O’Hara, she realised that data for good could lead the way in bringing this mission to life.

Alongside Untapped AI, Kendal has a passion for public speaking and women’s equality.

Having spoken at events such as DAVOS - World Economic Forum (WEF) and Women in Tech, she excels at getting audiences to speak up, shift mindsets, and re-ignite their confidence.

Every day I get more bored with theories if they are not accompanied by the experience of transformation and development.

I love the collective development of organizations and social groups, more than strictly individual learning.

Specialties: Pedagogue, Doctor in Educational Sciences, Master in Organizational Development and process consulting.

I have developed and applied leadership and professional skills for 25 years while working on many transformative initiatives. For the last 19 years, it has been specifically in the health and wellness field.

While working for Indigenous non-profits, my skill development included relationship building, strategic and tactical planning, team building, organisational development (within one organisation and amongst partners including governments, First Nations, health authorities and other non-profit organisations) and coaching. I utilise these skills to support my current role at the First Nation Health Authority in British Columbia, to lead a team of professionals in the Community Health and Wellness Department.

My coaching approach creates a space for individuals to gain insight in to their specific professional and personal goals and identify how to achieve them. This approach also aligns with my commitment to support others enhancing their skill set through the Indigenous Coach Training Programme.

As a co-developer and co-facilitator (alongside other certified/credentialed coaches), we offer a 4-month certificate program which is grounded in culture and allows space for participants to share their teachings to strengthen their learnings.
