What We Do
About Level Ground
At Level Ground, we unlock human potential by strengthening the emotional and interpersonal dynamics that drive meaningful connection within teams, and within individuals themselves.
Grounded in Psychology, Emotional Intelligence (EQ), and Communication expertise, our work focuses on real-world people development through transformational Soft Skills Training for Human Capital growth, Employee Engagement Boosts, and Coaching — both for personal and professional benefit. We also partner with and provide freelance learning content development, facilitation and consulting to other providers.
Whether in-person or online, each session is intentionally designed to reignite self-awareness of individuals, strengthen team relationships, and build emotionally intelligent corporate cultures across all levels of leadership and staff.
At the heart of Level Ground is a belief that EQ isn’t just a skill — it’s a human practice, essential to leading well, collaborating effectively, and thriving personally and professionally.

Targeted Corporate Training That Gets to the Heart of Performance
High-impact training doesn’t have to drain your team’s time or your company’s budget. At Level Ground, we specialise in practical and dynamic EQ-focused training that tackles the often overlooked human-related barriers to productivity — poor communication, conflict, emotional stress and burnout, and ineffective leadership.
Our workshops and short courses are fully customised to your team’s needs, focused on real-world skills that build stronger relationships, improved service, and more effective management. We’ve delivered these across corporates, government departments, NPOs, educational institutions and more — every session relevant, relatable, and results-driven.
While our content aligns with SETA standards, we prioritise agile, time-saving and cost-effective delivery over longer accredited courses. Attendance Certificates are provided for all completed sessions, and as our Lead Facilitator is a SETA-accredited Assessor and Moderator, we can collaborate with Accredited Providers where formal certification is required.
We offer half- and full-day workshops, as well as our Power Hour Series — focused 60-minute sessions ideal for busy teams, perfect for staff meetings, morale boosts, leadership touchpoints, or navigating change.

Coaching That Unlocks Clarity, Growth & Direction
Coaching with Nicky Delport
Whether you’re leading a team or navigating personal change, coaching offers a space to reflect, reset, and grow. With over 20 years of experience in education, training, EQ and people development, Level Ground Coaching with Nicky Delport helps you move beyond mental roadblocks and into intentional action.
Executive Coaching
For managers, team leads and decision-makers, executive coaching supports the development of Emotional Intelligence, communication, conflict navigation, and aligning your leadership style with your values and a deeper understanding of people. Practical, thought-provoking, and directly relevant to workplace dynamics.
Personal Coaching
Personal coaching explores internal patterns, belief systems and emotional habits that may be limiting growth. For individuals seeking purpose, clarity, or a mindset shift, you’ll be guided to reframe challenges, build self-awareness, and take meaningful steps toward becoming “unstuck.”
Start with a Complimentary Connect Session
To ensure the best fit, we invite you to connect directly for a short, no-obligation conversation before booking your coaching journey.
At Level Ground, coaching is a sustainable support system that develops clarity, confidence and Emotional Intelligence. Our AAA Methodology — Awareness, Acknowledgement, Action — ensures real transformation through partnership, accountability and practical steps.
Retainer-based Options for Organisations
We also partner with companies, organisations and schools on a retainer basis, providing a consistent, proactive coaching resource that eases the load on management by addressing challenges early and effectively. Sessions in person or online.
Coaching is not an instant solution and is never meant to be a replacement for psychological or psychiatric intervention. It is a process of self-discovery, where you as the client are responsible and accountable for your actions and progress.
Employee Engagement
More than just team building…
Our roots in Employee Engagement sessions run deep. Since 2015, we’ve designed and facilitated fun, high-connection experiences that bring teams together in ways that are meaningful, memorable and impactful.
Our Employee Engagement boosts are customised to your team, your objectives and your budget. We have facilitated team build sessions across most industries and all company levels, helping teams see each other not just as colleagues — but as human beings.
Each boost is designed with diverse personalities in mind. Through creative challenges, problem-solving and strategy-based activities, our sessions break down barriers, build trust and foster collaborative mindsets.
A high percentage of returning clients has kept us on our toes designing fresh, innovative activities — though some favourites have become crowd-pleasers. You focus on the WHERE, and we’ll handle the rest, so your team can focus on connection, collaboration and engagement. You choose the venue… we show up and work our magic.
We can do what we do — anywhere. Because it’s not about where or what we do… it’s about how we help teams connect, collaborate and truly engage.
