“ When we come to know the powerful figures of the world - captains of industry, presidents of banks, Nobel Prize winners, and members of legendary families - it's striking to see how many are open, warm, sincere, and view success as a responsibility. The truly successful have no inclination to act arrogantly. ”

- David R. Hawkins

The course is very practical and challenges one to step out of their comfort zone, to address their own development and influence in their work, private and social life.

Ms Hendrina KhanyileGeneral Manager – Human Resources, UTi Africa

“On the 17th June 2014, in the State of the Nation Address by His Excellency Jacob G Zuma, President of the Republic of SA on the occasion of the Joint Sitting of Parliament, Cape Town, he said: As we enter the second phase of our transition from apartheid to a national democratic society, we have to embark on radical socio-economic transformation to push back the triple challenges."

Change will not come about without some far-reaching interventions.
Having attended the OD and Influence programmes presented by the Influence Company, I have no doubt that, indeed, these are those far reaching interventions the president refers to. I think it’s time to roll up our sleeves and implement the many amazing strategies and goals set us by our leaders whether in government or in business, where I operate, and with the kind of outcomes and successes I’ve achieved, The Influence Company’s programmes are how we’re going to achieve them.

Based on personal experience and exposure to the programmes offered by The Influence Company, I can confidently confirm the value that one derives from attending these programmes. Whilst some of them, for example the PPIP and the PNP, are based on global thought leaders and leading practice, the others are instilled with solid instructional design principles that drive the achievement of the programme outcomes – both at cognitive as well as skill-level. The Influence Company has also succeeded in combining the best of Learning as well as Organisation Development principles in the design of their programmes. The result is that it is a common response from learners to indicate in the post-programme evaluation surveys, that these have been life-changing experiences.

I had the privilege of being selected by my Regional HR Director to undergo the OD in Action training provided by The Influence Company.  The specific training intervention was How to Influence Change in your organization.  The course was 5 days in duration, and I thought to myself, at being nominated for the programme “good glory a training session that is going to eat away at 5 precious days of my time!

Needless to now state, it has been some of the best days I have spent on a training invention!  I actually wished that we were placed on more of these training interventions run by The Influence Company.  The programme was not only theoretical in nature but included the practical applications in a safe environment of the team, but over and above once learnt we were put to the test in a live situation!  The most fun I have had in years…  Our team was so excited that we took the challenge head on – we defined a name for our company, planned our sessions, even to the detail of coordinating our professional dress code and business cards!  You may well say so what?  You   coordinated this but what did you learn?  We learnt first and foremost that first impressions are ones that stick!  If you don’t know your game, professionally, your clients will not take you seriously.  We learnt the power of delving and searching of solutions alongside the client and most of all we learnt the skill of re- contracting with our clients and business.  I have already put my skill into practice and I have pulled my direct team in to re-contract with business on issues that my well not be in our area of responsibility.  This has worked really well and my team was extremely impressed.  Would I recommend you make use of The Influence Company for their training inventions – yes yes yes without a doubt!

We have recently made use of the services of The Influence Company. Although we are both service providers to the same market, we have benefitted tremendously from their process. Delaine and Jabu are talented facilitators. I strongly recommend their services.

It was truly a privilege to have been exposed to your professional presentation and facilitation. The fact that you deviated from the program you had in mind, affirmed genuine concern for the process to be guided by our response and not what you anticipated or had planned for us. Congratulations on a job well done!

I attended all the Organisational Development workshops and simulation programs at “The Influence Company” – Sep Serfontein Consulting Group and since then used the processes and tools in many consulting projects, as an internal change agent and within external consulting projects. This OD program is a world class product and highly interactive, making it a skill based learning experience.

I fulfilled several Group Human Resource positions in SA and presented several global workshops and I am fully confident that this program will add valuable insights and skills to managers with a change management and improvement agenda in mind.

I attended the Organisation Development OD consulting workshops, and am grateful for the foundational competence and development gained. I personally extracted value on not only this programme but the other programmes as well.

I was also recently asked to be part of the simulation consulting team on OD Workshop. I was re-inspired about the value of Organisation Development in organisations. The participants also extracted value. Their learnings, experiences and insights gained were deeply satisfying to me.

I will recommend this OD Workshop, and related programmes offered by The Influence Company and their associates.

My experience of The Influence Co Training. Thank you again Delaine, I hope this encapsulates how much this training impacted me personally and professionally.

I was apprehensive when I first received the invite to attend this training as I am not naturally a person who puts myself “out there”. As we navigated through the first 3 days I began to feel more confident to go into a difficult situation and start asking the right questions to understand the reason behind the reason. I felt safe to ask questions to explore different approaches and to gain an insight and better understanding of the person I was engaging with. People are unpredictable and I learned how to take those situations and use them to better understand the individuals ultimately, so that I could assist them where they most needed my assistance or intervention.

On a personal note, I felt enlightened and I was inspired in particular by Delaine and Gerhard. The simulation was the most eye- opening of all experiences and as a team this was where we were able to be honest in a safe environment and be the best we could be and add value to our organisation and teams.

I would love to pass through one of Delaine and Gerhard’s programmes again soon.
