The Founding Training Company in South Africa
In 1970 Anton van der Post began running seminars on Interpersonal Skills and Motivation, and was instrumental in pioneering the training industry in South Africa. Then in 1983, after spending some time in the United States, he developed and started running our Effective Speaking programme. In 2004 Gavin Lund joined Anton, and spent two years understudying, where after he began running the courses along with Anton. What makes us unique and separates us from what is offered by other companies, is that our courses are simple and practical while being humorous and entertaining at the same time - with participants learning skills as they work through the seminars, absorbing useable, common-sense information which they can put into practice immediately.
When a team is under pressure and stress, communication breaks down and all sorts of perceptions are created in that state of tiredness and frustration. This can also be the case in a new team where perceptions again can prevent a team from pulling together and where relationships need to be built. Breaking through these perceptions to open up this communication in a non-threatening way allows the team to gel together again as a unit. This lays a powerful platform for re-energizing and re-motivating each individual in the team. |
More people fear public speaking than death!!! A common downfall for most people is that they rely on Powerpoint to get their message across and not their own ability. This is boring, has no power and leaves people cold. Human beings make decisions more with emotion than logic, therefore, a powerful speaker is the one who can get their message across by moving people emotionally. |
Every day we are dealing with an integral part of any business or home - people. What is vital in the success or failure of an organization or team is its PEOPLE, and how effectively they integrate, understand and communicate with one another. Learning how to do this consciously, consistently and effectively is an invaluable life skill! It has been proved that by modelling the behaviour patterns of anyone who has achieved excellence in their particular field, these patterns can be learned and applied in our own lives at a very quick rate. |
