Stretching with Absa

(posted by me on behalf of Grant).

Ok, I felt stretched. It’s so great to run a programme where you know that the people you’re working with are fast, focused, driven and experienced. I was working with a bunch of guys from Absa Group Sourcing who are probably running at 200% at the moment.

Yet they were able to find the time to spend two days on a programme, do the homework (before and during the course) and I know that everyone of them also connected with work in an attempt to keep up with the usual. We worked hard for two very full days, not relenting on the learning points, just one after the other again and again.

Nor did I pull any punches. Sometimes feedback, although straight, can be hard to take on board, but not for these guys. Another part of the feedback is trying to get them to believe that they are actually damn good at what they do and all that is required is to fine tune already present skills or growing their natural strengths.

To their credit they not only kept up, but stayed involved and engaged all the time keeping me truly on my toes every moment of the course.

To you guys thanks very much, I got a tremendous amount out if running the course with you.

Here are some comments from the training:

“This course has given me tools to increase the chances of giving a successful presentation manyfold” - Antony Barker

“How great to learn a set of tools to create my own style within the rules” - Claire Raath

“Great experience with good presentation and data, very helpful” - Stephan Kok

“Motivating and builds confidence” - Ian Horn

“Useful, practical, informative. This is a well structured course, well balanced and well delivered” - Jennifer Steyn

“Thank you for the light and personal touch” - Jacoba Schutte

    Sorry Ian, I someone hit a J instead of an I. sometimes I think the Avo Creativity overwhelms the Avo attention to detail.
