This course has helped me to itentified the areas that I am doing well in but also the areas that I need to pay more attention too in leading my Team.

Dr Heyns-Nell is a wonderful facilitator, she creates a safe space for sharing and for learning to happen effortlessly. The content can be alot at times, so it requires taking time to absorb and reflect after each day.
There are assignments which seem like it will be time-consuming especially if you only have time after work or weekends to sit with it, but I do understand its necessity.
I would recommend that staff work from home when doing the course to truly get the benefit without interruptions.
Highly recommend to all levels of management!

This was a fantastic course, I wish that it could be for all managers within Northlink. It has exceeded my expectations and I can now go back and apply the theories and leadership styles learnt to create a better, positive environment for myself and for my team. I feel so blessed, privileged and grateful to have been given this opportunity. I will be forever grateful to Dr Charlene for allowing us to share our experiences and for guiding us in becoming better versions of ourselves. Thank you to Northlink College for allowing me to participate in this course and contribute towards my growth and development

This has been such an empowering, uplifting, phenomenally informative experience! I am so humbled to have been chosen for this course. We could not have asked for a better facilitator! I really just want to smother myself in this wealth of knowledge. I want to absorb every bit of this information and be the best version of me that I can possibly be. I have already started implementing parts of what we were taught e.g. delegation. Doc, you are a phenomenal woman.
You must thank God for your talents to lead, teach and guide in the manner that you do. You are a true inspiration!
