As Founder and CEO of Lynda Roger (Bleazard) Leadership Development and Wellness Coaching, I partner with executives, teams, and individuals around the world to create lasting change. My coaching integrates neuroscience, emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and the Enneagram to build self-awareness, resilience, and authentic leadership.
As a qualified and registered Health and Wellness Coach (Health Coaches Academy UK), I also bring a holistic lens — helping clients achieve balance between their professional success and personal wellbeing. My approach is both strategic and compassionate, guiding clients to lead with authenticity while sustaining their health and energy.
My leadership journey has taken me from the frontline of healthcare to the boardroom — including roles as CEO of the Walter Sisulu Paediatric Cardiac Foundation and Director of Investor Relations for United Way Worldwide (Africa Region). Those experiences fuel my belief that strong, healthy leaders build strong, healthy organisations.
Today, my mission is simple: to empower people to lead and live with purpose — and to thrive in both work and life.

Lynda’s Key Strengths
What You’ll Gain Working with Lynda
Lynda understands that undergoing coaching and development may call for clients to step outside of their comfort zone – a difficult task for some. This process is made all the more easier when facilitated by an approachable and empathetic coach such as Lynda, who values kindness, compassion and the importance of building relationships of trust with her clients.
Given her experience, Lynda can fully appreciate the demands of being an employee, an employer, a manager, a spouse and a working parent. As such, Lynda easily relates to her clients who feel at ease in a safe, non-judgemental environment conducive to personal growth and development, allowing them to flourish and reach their full potential.
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others
– Gandhi
Lynda has been a transformational leadership coaching, development and wellness practitioner since 2016. Using empathetic coaching, training and developmental tools, she assists her clients by enabling individuals, teams and businesses to identify their purpose and achieve their full potential, whether this be in a professional or personal capacity.
This not only equips clients with newfound knowledge and insight, but also the practical tools and skills to take their learnings forward and apply same to challenges that may arise in the future.
As described by Lynda Roger, “the journey to accurate self-awareness and honest self-assessment is one of life’s most important challenges. While this journey can be exciting, joyful and fulfilling, at other times it can also be overwhelming, exhausting and confusing. However, it is through this intense journey to ‘self’ that one learns the art of the power of choice, self regulation, social awareness and relationship management which, together with empathy, transforms individuals, groups and businesses from good to great, creating a culture of future leaders who will inspire, empower and engage their followers.”
Lynda believes that coaching makes the journey towards self-actualisation possible. Lynda understands that undergoing coaching and development may call for clients to step outside of their comfort zone, a difficult task for some. This process is made all the more easier when facilitated by approachable and empathetic coaches who strive to create a safe, non-judgemental environment conducive to personal growth and development.
Lynda guides her clients towards gaining insight into their motivations and behaviours, assisting them to evolve and develop through self-understanding. This in turn empowers her clients with the choice to change, reframe and re-programme their way of thinking, thereby unlocking their true potential and enabling them to flourish.
