Adapted ideologies from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development's professional framework and the Liberating Structures.
Achieved professional and academic qualifications from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and Durban University of Technology.

Why Leadership Matters
Our leaders are under immense pressure to maintain performance and retain talent.
Collaborative leadership, could enable people given the right resources, but the opposite is true without it.
Leadership capability is an important component of an organization’s ecosystem but requires full-circle support.
Staff turnover is often influenced by leadership ability.
Leaders have the power to motivate people and influence habitual change.
