About: The Founder

I'm Dinusha Koggalahewa, founder of Aspire Coaching NZ, and an Executive and Transformational Master Coach.

After 18 years in corporate management within facilities and engineering roles, I bring extensive experience from leading teams and operations across the Asia Pacific region working in highly demanding and fast paced Investment Banking and Data Centre organisations.

Now, my passion is empowering small business owners and their teams to achieve their fullest potential.

At Aspire Coaching NZ, I focus on helping small business owners like you navigate the unique challenges of leading and growing a business. My work is centred on supporting leaders and their teams in finding balance, clarity, and purpose in their work lives, so they can thrive professionally and personally.

  • Overcome personal and professional barriers that may be holding back your growth.

  • Align your work with your values, creating a sense of purpose that drives both you and your business forward.

  • Find meaning and peace in your work, so you can lead with authenticity and resilience.

I believe that for small business owners, success goes beyond profits — it's about building a business that aligns with your values and serves a purpose beyond yourself.

My approach helps you:

By achieving these outcomes, my clients experience a renewed sense of energy, empowerment, and joy in their work. This not only benefits their businesses but also fosters a lasting, positive impact on their teams and communities.

My Approach to Supporting Small Business Success

In working with small businesses, I focus on three key areas:

  1. Conscious Leadership Development: Developing your unique leadership identity, enhancing your resilience, and empowering you to lead with purpose.

  2. Team Cohesion: Helping you build a culture of trust and alignment, so your team works together effectively and passionately towards shared goals.

  3. Service Maturity: Strengthening the systems and structures that allow your business to grow sustainably and adapt to change.

Through personalised coaching, immersive workshops, and strategic consultations, I help small business owners and their teams transform how they work and lead, creating high-performance environments that drive sustainable results and positive change.

My mission is to help you not only succeed in your business but also find fulfilment and peace in the journey. Let’s work together to unlock your potential and build a business that truly serves you, your team, and your community.
