About Us
Lynette Berger is a Chartered Accountant, mother to her boy, Righardt and wife to Ernst Berger who also happens to be a Chartered Accountant.
Their family is not just all about numbers and solving complicated accounting and auditing stuff – they are passionate about family and life!
A couple of years ago, Lynette exchanged her corporate role as Senior Financial Manager and acting CFO within the oil and gas industry to follow her heart’s desire – that of making an impactful difference in the lives of young upcoming professionals.
Little did she know how this dream would unfold in something unimaginable!
Lynette always loved the academics and completed here Master degree during 2015 in South African and International Taxation. Her mini-dissertation was based on the Income Tax implications of Bitcoin exchange transactions.
But the dream unfolded even more, when her passion for coaching, teaching and mentoring resulted in several more opportunities.
Apart from being involved in the lecturing and assessment of young upcoming professionals, Lynette met with Hettie Brittz and Annatjie van Zyl – Founders of Tall Trees Profiles and became a certified facilitator in the Tall Trees philosophy on temperament styles.
A further business partnership was established when Lynette engaged with Tall Trees Profiles and ProBeta Training to introduce leadership training and developmental courses to the accounting, tax and auditing profession in South Africa. The partnership is currently involved in a project on EQ, in matching one’s EQ DNA to the situations in which one will naturally excel first, and then to take on more challenged areas in one’s own EQ DNA, and grow tall.
Lynette is also an accredited trainer and consultant in DISC dimensions and a certified JohnMaxwell Team Member, speaker, trainer and coach. Lynette serves under the leadership and mentorship of Dr John C. Maxwell, Paul Martinelli (President of the JohnMaxwellTeam), Roddy Galbraith (Speaker lane) and Marc Cole (Leadership lane).
Lynette met with Mandie Wentzel in 2017 (also a Chartered Accountant and accredited Tall Trees Facilitator) and soon discovered that they share the same passion and values. During October 2018, they partnered and established their online business, YourEmpoweredPotential.
YourEmpoweredPotential offers a variety of online, self-paced interactive learning and growth solutions on emerging technologies, business building, ethics, leadership and personal development. These solutions are supported by on-the-go member engagements such as blogposts, podcasts and social media interventions. YourEmpoweredPotential's training solutions are specifically focussed on the recently qualified professional or entry level manager: who is ready to shift their role, from operational management level (leading self) to managerial level (managing others). Our objective is to teach and share how to accelerate one’s careers by putting one’s leadership and influence into a high gear.
