Your Partner for Leadership Transformation
There came a time in my life when I felt as though I was not improving and was not able to change that stagnated situation. We usually call this “hitting rock bottom”. There may be other ways of putting it too but we may face this as individuals and it also occurs in teams.
Businesses, enterprises, and entrepreneurs must accommodate team systems into their structure to grow and successfully fulfil the vision set before them.
Whether you are the boss of your own company, a CEO, a general manager or an employee, employers need to recognize the need for their employees to form teams. More importantly, maintaining a teamwork ethic requires 2 things. Firstly, a lot of collaboration and secondly transparency related concepts.
Everyone has the potential to be a leader. However, this cannot be accomplished overnight. It requires perseverance, and you absolutely cannot ignore the Law of Process. Leadership develops daily, not in a day. Do not be fooled by the illusion of overnight success. Invest in the process, and reap the rewards.
“Why are you running away from your leadership calling?”
What… I replied surprisingly! “Why are you running away from your leadership calling?” she whispered again quietly to me. It was the last question my career coach offered me on a silver platter. I had been appointed to many leadership positions in the past and was a little nervous but excited about future prospects of opportunity in my own business.
Learn from my experience and stand out from the rest by applying 4 ways of demonstrating your leadership skillset.
The way I love to start a discussion about leadership is by saying “Leadership Development doesn’t work”. This is indeed surprising as this what I am passionate about and have invested a lot of time in training.
Leadership is like driving. It is a complex skill set to “drive” an organisation, its people and ourselves, all simultaneously. We could conclude that leadership is far more complex than driving a car. However, it is surprising that most companies don’t take it so seriously. They organise some courses or a workshop for one day or two. Sometimes even month-long courses. They are inspiring and exciting and take you out of your daily routine.
Seeing teams getting their head together thinking about how to improve their organisation is always touching for me.

As one company executive experienced: “I thought the training with Joël was very enriching and interesting. His method of teaching was very easy to understand, especially with the game element that really brought interactive opportunities between team members and for us to explore some issue such as integrity, communication and credibility and also what it takes to be a good leader. The best part of the training I thought was it encourages a lot of discussions, especially the game part, so thank you very much. I think it would be a very good thing to have this training for your company”.
