Key Leadership Challenge
World View
The wave of global change that is being generated by IT development is impacting and changing the established balance of world social, political and economic values..
The biggest challenges to day are the rapidly changing social environments and shifting cultural expectations.
No matter how successful, each person has to deal with family, friends and business colleagues who are changing their beliefs, values, direction and the ways that they do things.
Winners develop the ability to adapt quickly. They relate to and learn from other successful people who are often very different from themselves.
Personalised training and coaching is designed and recommended for people from all occupations who aspire to greater Responsibility in Leadership and in Management.
“His success depends on encouraging those who are there … and on his ability to produce a great harmony that will have influence and meaning to all who hear …”
South Africa
South Africans have a great history of collective bravery.
Yet, as Key People move into leadership positions they often find themselves isolated from the very collegues and friends who put them in power. They discover that they can benefit from objective support, encouragement and professional skills for dealing with the many new personal challenges!
It can be lonely at the top … of a Government … of a Company … of a Department … of a School … of a Team.
The international widening gap between traditional wisdom of elders, and a rapidly expanding young, educated and wealthy middle class is a world wide challenge. In South Africa life is complicated by the high mortality of HIV positive parents. As a result, young children are being cared for by elderly grandparents and even great grandparents. This has produced a generational and educational gap which is often stretched over three generations!
There is a great need for strong rapport, caring and support skills.
As more South Africans start to take ownership and responsibility for their own rapidly developing personal power and potential, so we could see a turn around in the mood, economy and well-being of this nation of great people.
Making sure there is a place for all,

Where are we? … how? … when? … who can add value?
