What our participants had to say

Thank you for a great NMDP course. Great presentation style with lots of opportunities to ask questions and talk about real life examples which all made for a really enjoyable and informative course. This has more than met my expectations. A wonderfully practical course - both personally and professionally.

Mafemani T. Maringa

This has enriched me personally with so much knowledge, and that is something, I have always said, nobody can take away from you.

Wilhelm Müller

The NMDP exposed me to a perspective and thought process that may have otherwise passed me by in these early days of my professional career. As a junior employee who has aspirations of a management position one day, the NMDP has provided me with a foundation to understand what my current manager expects of me – I am a firm believer in running the race before passing on the baton. Being 6 months out of the NMDP, the biggest lesson I’ve been able to apply constantly, is that communication is key. The why, how and who of a conversation in the workplace has the potential to exponentially affect productivity, relationships as well as personal satisfaction and validation. The course teaches you how to identify and handle the different types of personalities that you are probably going to come across at some point in your career. The NMDP allowed me to grow in the corporate world, without compromising the boundaries of the hierarchical position at my company. It gave me the green light to be confident in my ability, but not arrogant! I would recommend this course not only to aspiring managers, but also to individuals who wish to grow personally in their everyday lives.

Kuven Naidoo

I highly recommend this programme to all people interested in leadership and even existing leaders. You never have enough insight in leadership – this is an ongoing process.

Lylé Ruiters

The actual course was great – learnt everything that is applicable at these times. Really assisted with my maturity at my workplace and motivated me to step up a little more.

Tarryn Sita Singh

My experience of the NMDP has been of great value in both my development as an individual involved in community leadership; and as an industry professional. The content offered throughout this course has provided me with practical and theoretical tools that I have been able to apply in both my personal and professional life.
