Allow us to introduce ourselves – we are Sonja and Maryke, two dynamic women with a shared vision to empower legal practitioners and transform the way they practice law.

Maryke

Maryke is an accomplished professional with a passion for transformation and empowerment. With her impressive qualifications in psychology, behavioural sciences, and her certification as a Master Transformation Coach, NLP Practitioner, and Neuro-Coach, Maryke brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our institute. Her genuine desire to help individuals unlock their full potential is what makes her an invaluable asset to our team.

Sonja is a practicing advocate. With 24 years of experience in the legal profession, she has witnessed firsthand the challenges and demands faced by legal professionals. She is passionate about empowering fellow legal practitioners to reach unparalleled levels of excellence and transcend the boundaries of traditional legal practice.

Sonja

It was a meeting of two minds and the discovery of our shared passion that led to the birth of the Professional Mind Resilience Institute. We realised that in today’s rapidly evolving world, technical legal knowledge is no longer sufficient for success in the legal profession. To truly thrive and make a lasting impact, legal practitioners need to develop a unique blend of cognitive, analytical, management, emotional, and ethical skills. These skills are not taught in any tertiary institute in South Africa as part of the law curriculum.  Mere technical legal knowledge is no longer sufficient to sustain a successful legal career.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to empower legal practitioners to attain unparalleled excellence, find balance in their personal lives, and transcend the boundaries of traditional legal practice.

We invite legal professionals from all walks of life to join us on this transformative journey towards excellence. Together, let us redefine the path to legal success and secure a prosperous and fulfilling future in the legal profession.
