""Naming and shaming may be seen to be a breach of a provider's Constitutional rights". Are you joking? Based on what? Since when was late payment or non-payment for services a constitutional protection? That is, with all due respect,…"

"Dear Rolf: Please, I do really think that this provider should be named and shamed. Especially if they are a frequent advertiser on the Skills Portal. All of us need to know who these companies are. Please do think about doing that, ok. Thanks. "

Profile Information

Tell us about what you do
Hi there:

Self-employed, Johannesburg-based sustainability consultant here. I lived and studied abroad for 12 years, have a very international outlook as a result and am back in SA since 1998. I have an LL.B in Law and Politics (UK) and an LL.M in International Environmental Law (Canada).

Of late, I have mainly been doing training/ facilitating, seminars etc, although I have worked extensively as a consultant and systems and legal compliance auditor, including in occupational health and safety. Primarily I'm an environmental/ sustainability consultant, however - sustainability is the future. I've also done facilitation and consulting work in corporate governance, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and strategic risk.

Allied to that I have also done soft skills training on topics ranging from assertiveness to interpersonal skills to time and project management.

I especially enjoy being able to train/ facilitate - I know that I'm a natural communicator. Public speaking has been something I've done since a very young age. I also enjoy developing new and innovative products for training, facilitation, experential learning or consulting, so course development and R&D is something I know at which I excel.

I would really like to link up with other training/facilitation professionals who like to think way out of the box, develop interesting and innovative products and workshops and who see themselves as dynamic and future-thinking.

Please contact me if you wish - it would be great to hear from you.

Thanks and have a great day.
What companies or organisations are you with?
Self-employed consultant; accredited as an Assessor and Moderator with the ETDP SETA, as well as with the HWSETA and MERSETA.
