NUST Coaching and Mentoring Club

Thriving as a coach in Zimbabwe while the average person is focused on survival—bread and butter issues like rent, fuel, and school fees—requires shifting from "luxury" coaching to "survival, resilience, and income-generation" coaching. In this economic environment, coaching must be positioned as a tool for economic empowerment and mental stamina rather than just personal growth.
