WORKSHOPS AND TRAINING COURSES

1. In-house Training Workshops

CEED International facilitates in-house workshops that are customised to clients’ specifications, as long as there are realistic growth opportunities and a need for our services. The workshops are specially designed to support organisations in particular areas of their developmental needs.

We work with businesses of all sizes and in any sectors of the economy, assisting them to either build on the areas of their strength to the point of comparative advantage, or develop areas of weaknesses, to plug avenues for possible financial, customer, value and competitive advantage losses. The focus and expected outcomes of the workshops are therefore largely dependent on the clients’ needs.

2. Business Building Workshops

4. Organisational Leadership Coaching & Training Courses

True organisational leadership entails influencing people, resource utilisation, strategic management, as well as policy and administrative implementations, among others. The successes or failures of organisations are therefore often determined by the quality of leadership skills that they are exposed to. And, like any other process that lead to progress, leadership potentials and capacity must be developed.

The leadership training courses presented by CEED International (Pty) have a uniqueness about them. Their differentiation relates to the approach of training and encouraging leaders to be coaches and mentors to their people. Specifically, the coach-leader and mentor-leader approach assists team leaders and top managers to create environments, which stimulate full engagement of all team members as active builders and stakeholders.

The CEED leadership training approach particularly emphasises the power of coaching in inspiring the leader to build the energies of others around his own energy. This results in the empowering of individual team members to stretch themselves to higher levels of performance, more by inspiration and enthusiasm than by coercion. It also confers on the leaders the responsibility of communicating personal and corporate visions more clearly, in order to galvanise people to achieve set goals that keep them passionate and energised.

The Courses also support leaders and managers to develop within their organisations, self-motivated and highly professional superstars. As added value, cost-effective methods of recruiting, developing, managing and retaining these superstars are also provided by the courses.
