WHAT WE DO

"Working with Grant Ashfield and Ian Thomas was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They are both consummate professionals who prioritise the finest of attention to detail, while jointly delivering the most dynamic and inspiring experience. It is more than a leadership workshop, but is interactive, fun, intense, dynamic, humorous, BUT with a very clear message that gets driven home effectively, using the basis of the awesome lives and activities of Lions...a truly 'African' experience...with a twist !"

- Yavi Madurai. General Manager Strategy & Business Development, SAMRO

"Markets and global economic conditions are continuously changing. Under these circumstances, leaders have to adapt and prepare their organisations for these changing circumstances. LeadershipWorks has helped me identify the dangers and face the challenges making me a better leader of my team. I have learnt very effective ways of getting people to focus attention on the tough problems. This can be a difficult and complicated task, particularly in organisations where mechanisms for avoiding painful issues and avoiding work have developed over a number of years."

- Russell S. Mlambo, Operations Manager - Sasol Chlor Vinyls
