Hi Tony,
It’s great to hear that Appreciative Inquiry is being used. I did the training last year with Company of Experts and have been using AI in a coaching context and it works like a charm. Could you tell me more about Blue Ocean – is it the same Blue Ocean being used in Strategy Facilitation?

Hi Rene,

PS. I’m in the Eastern Cape, so if you need help in this region contact me: judyjvr@mindz.co.za

I would definitely support your group.

Hi Hendrick,
This is an exciting time to come back to SA. Consider what your perfect job would look like here in South Africa. What would you love to be doing?
