When you’re on top of your Game!

Published by yojules March 5th, 2008 in General

Wedding bells are ringing loud in the ears of our precious Vanessa (or Rapunzel, as she is called of late). And she could be forgiven for letting the roses in her eyes make the working world go out of focus for a while as she leads up to this life-changing event….

But not Ness! It is a privelege to work with a woman so clearly on top of her game! Our clients from Lafarge called in last week to personally tribute her for her incredible professionalism and skill in the face of great adversity in Kenya two weeks ago. Besides negotiating the perils of travelling to a country in the chaos of violent political unrest, hectic deadlines in a huge design project, she managed to design 3 courses in 5 days based on the changing briefs she received as our clients team refined their thoughts around the programme they needed her to run.

Ness, Louis couldn’t praise you enough for the professional and skilful job you did. It’s just tribute to your years of experience, great brain, and resilient attitude that shows you to be a lady at the top of your game! Proud of you!

Hats off to you Ness, that was such a hard space for you to be in, not knowing what you were going to train before you left and the ‘ever-changing’ brief would have left most people tearing their hair out!

But you quite obviously rocked their world, as you do ours!

You are amazing - there are not many people who could keep it together, continuously have to change their training material and still pull off a wonderful training session. You should be really proud of yourself! We really are!

Hey ness, having been privelaged to have experienced first hand your abilities in designing a program AND sat in with you as you have trained and seen you in the thick of things managing our training for Ngikwazi, it comes as NO surprise that you knocked the socks off Lafarge. The fact that you can do it whilst approaching SUCH a huge thing as your upcoming marriage just speaks even louder volumes. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me. xxxjen

aaah… thank you all! It was a privelege… i guess when people give you the gift of their time, despite the odds, you have to make the time count. That’s what training is all about, making the time you spend with people, really really count! Thak you for the recognition x
