About Kwela
Testimonials
| "Kwela designed and facilitated our 'Transactional Leadership: Achieving Results Through Others' program. This program is aimed at emerging leaders in our organization and it comprises a number of components that stretch over a period of approximately 4 months. The feedback we’ve received from participants has been great. Kwela takes an experiential approach to development, emphasize practical approaches and tools and hold participants accountable through measurement and follow-ups." |
Susan Karda, Manager Organization Development & Learning, Vancity |
| "While initially apprehensive about the process and what I would learn and discover, I found the coaching process of working with Nic a new experience, appropriately challenging, and one that expanded and continues to expand my leadership abilities. The best compliment came from my boss, who said he was glad I did this, for he sees a substantial and positive change in me!" |

| "Our organization engaged Kwela to facilitate a number of leadership training workshops. They worked with all levels of management and the feedback has been very positive. I was impressed with how they linked the training to strategic initiatives and how they turned the training into a process. They also took measurement seriously. And the results were impressive. In one of the programs, the participants reported a 44% improvement in their knowledge, skill and ability. In another program, the participants' observers reported a 71% improvement in behaviours that the participants were targeting." |

| “Kwela worked with our organization to deliver a leadership development program for our senior team. Within days of launching the program, it was apparent that the entire group were making significant and positive changes to their leadership style, including myself. Kwela’s approach, combined with excellent coaching and facilitation, really helped us take the organization to the next level.” |

| “Russel's Systems Thinking workshop was unlike any other I've ever seen. Participants were absolutely captivated by the way the facts were presented and in a few short hours, came away with a deep understanding of how global problems are not only interrelated to each other, but also to some of the things we treasure most in our own lives. Despite presenting an urgent and pressing picture of the current situation with no sugar-coating of the facts, his engaging style and consistent focus on solutions left participants energised and motivated in the belief that we can change the world. They could not stop talking about this workshop and many are now taking action in their communities.” |
