There is no doubt that our UGRs programme dramatically improved both our safety and operational performance. UGRs is a sure formula for success because the process engages employees at all levels. I have no doubt that UGRs can significantly boost the culture across any company.
Vice PresidentBarrick Africa
An excellent session. Our vision for further development has been rekindled.
PhysicianMercy Ships, USA
Voted ‘best speaker’ at our annual Sales Convention 2008. As a result we asked him back in 2009 – something we never do – to handle a half-day mass-facilitation session for almost 300 managers. It was undoubtedly the highlight of our convention. His knowledge and the way he presents and facilitates, make him possibly the best speaker we have ever used.

Stef kept the audience riveted for 5 hours - quite a feat! Sufficient coverage of the topic without clutter and unnecessary detail... extremely well balanced.

Managing DirectorSANLAM Properties
Stef has had a strategic alliance with us for the last 3 years. During this time he has helped us to develop the potential of top and middle management. He has the ability to simplify the most difficult concepts so that they are understood and taken to heart by semi-literate people, whilst he is at the same time able to connect intellectually with top management. This programme has laid the foundation for our way forward.
