High levels of success. Transformational!

Key Steps are professional, and always accountable, delivering to a very high standard. They hold invaluable interventions, end-to-end with such skill and care. Sharon has been instrumental in helping us design, refine and roll-out core programmes across the bank. I would choose her 1 000 times over for my challenging teams, or very senior leadership, because she’s so good at landing strategic messages and linking the behavioural work with the impact it has in the business. Our results with Sharon have been superb. We’ve had very high levels of success and the shifts have been transformational. It is rare to work with somebody who’s so highly professional and who has such a caring and human sense about them.

Excellent and practical!

I have worked with Sharon and Key Steps for several years where Sharon has facilitated many development programmes for the bank. She is our key specialist in emotional intelligence, communication skills, conflict management and negotiation. At all times, she is the consummate professional and able to adapt her content to suit the audience and has a great rapport with delegates. They always comment on how excellent and practical Sharon’s sessions are. She always goes the extra mile and seeks ideas for continuous improvement. I cannot recommend Sharon highly enough and without hesitation given her details to colleagues and friends alike.

Incredible facilitator!

Sharon has partnered with Atlas Copco Industrial South Africa on several programmes over the years in both the Diversity & Inclusion space and coaching and development of many of our staff and leaders. All the staff coached by Sharon have benefitted from the sessions and so many of us have seen our careers develop and grow, in no small part due to the work done in these coaching sessions. Sharon is an incredible facilitator and extremely knowledgeable coach. I would recommend her to any organization who are serious about investing in the development of their people.

Wendy Buffa-Pace, Vice President Holdings – Sub Saharan Africa

Really makes a difference!

In all my years, I have never seen emotionally intelligence and leadership developed in this way. It is so practical and integrated and really makes a difference. The people who have attended so far can’t stop talking about the training and are gaining such benefit. We look forward to our continued partnership.

Dawie Mostert, VP of Organizational Transformation, Sibanye-Stillwater

Visible difference!

Sharon’s training has made a visible difference to my team’s skills. I could see an immediate improvement, following her workshops. I have had similar positive feedback from my peers and have a high regard for her abilities and professionalism. Having seen her work prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic, I know Sharon to be a resilient service provider, who finds innovative ways to address her clients’ needs, despite the challenges at hand.

Exceeded my expectations!

The program exceeded my expectations. All the materials will be helpful to me, especially the plan and purpose, and I will be able to use them immediately. The programme was inspiring, and it has energized me. Thank you, Sharon. I have already recommended you to our academy manager and look forward to working with you again

Truly transformational!

I have known Sharon in her professional capacity for over 10 years. While her skill-set range is vast, if you are looking for an EQ training specialist or professional coach, I highly recommend Sharon. Her development initiatives are truly transformational. She has guided me to view the world from so many different perspectives and I cannot thank her enough for the journey we have been on and how much you’ve supported my teams too. Namaste Sharon.
