She served as the Senior Specialist for Conflict Transformation and Organisational Learning for the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) from 2010-2013. Dr.Whande also was part of the foundational phase of the Healing of the Memories process in South Africa and continues to work with transitional justice processes and organisations on the African continent and globally.
In her current work as a leadership coach, she accompanies individuals and organisations that seek to evolve the potential for healing and development out of experiences of diversity, conflict and crisis. Her approach is strongly rooted in principles of respect, recognition and valuing each individual biography and life journey.
Her work is grounded in the Goethean phenomenological approach, as evolved by Kaplan and Davidoff into what is becoming known as a “Social Reflective Practice”. She is also trained in systems theory and offers a trans-generational lens on memory work. She was the lead facilitator for the first Nelson Mandela Dialogues on Memory Work, an initiative co-hosted by the Nelson Mandela Foundation and the GIZ Global Leadership Academy that brought together 26 leaders from 10 countries over 2013-2014 in an exploration of memory work, justice and healing practices worldwide.
Undine resides in Cape Town, South Africa with her three children.
