Pimokabo story
A Place for Progress without pressure
Pimokabo was created as a steady, supportive space for people who want clarity in their learning, career or general life direction. The platform grew from years of working with people who needed calm guidance, clear expectations, and a place where progress could happen without pressure.
What is Pimokabo?
Pimokabo represents having the tools, support, and belief in yourself to create something that feels right to you. It reflects our commitment to helping people move forward with clarity and self-trust, whether they are learning, planning, or navigating change.
Learning. Career. Life.
We support people to understand themselves in order to take practical steps toward their goals. We don’t promise quick fixes or perfect outcomes. We offer clarity, reflection, and steady support so that growth belongs to you, not the platform.
How we support people
Every person arrives with different needs, strengths, and circumstances. Our approach is grounded in clear communication, realistic expectations, and respect for each person’s pace. We keep things simple and practical, focusing on what helps someone move forward without overwhelm.
Our values
Professionalism, transparency, respect, and clear communication guide everything we do. We aim to create a space where people feel supported, informed, and able to make decisions that fit their own path.
Career Counsellor & Life Coach
Hello, I am Carrie Venz
I’ve always been fascinated by the moments when people realise they can choose a different direction.
My own life has been shaped by those moments. I left my first degree because it belonged to someone else’s idea of me, and spent the next decade in hospitality; learning how to lead, teach, and hold space for people in the middle of chaos. At 27, I returned to university, despite the doubts of those around me, and completed a dual degree in Arts and Education.
For more than 25 years, I taught senior English, History, and Economics. Those subjects gave me a deep understanding of how language, history, and the economy shape the world and the futures people imagine for themselves.
As my daughters stepped into their adult lives, I felt the pull of my own next chapter. I completed a Graduate Certificate in Career Counselling and Development in 2023. Now I offer career guidance and also life coaching for people who are navigating both planned and unplanned life pivots.
