Transform your leadership through customised, blended learning
Key Steps blends various learning modalities, tools, techniques, coaching and assessments to create a unique learning journey that focuses on increasing emotional intelligence and developing future-fit leadership skills.
All learning pathways are custom crafted and incorporate current neuroscience ensuring that we don’t only work at a skill development level but at a reprogramming level too. This includes the AGES Model – a cohesive structure for making learning stick, consisting of Attention, Generation, Emotion and Spacing.
The highest compliment we consistently get from our clients…
“It is impossible to multitask during your sessions as they are just so engaging.”
Our blended approach keep people engaged and empowers leaders to forge connections, develop new neural pathways and integrate new learnings.
We leverage the power of emotions and take a spaced learning approach, allowing time for reflection, application and integration. The practical assignments between masterclasses also drive outcomes and boost ROI.

Manager survey of candidates pre and post-intervention.
Relevant psychometric assessments such as the Bar-On EQ-i2.0.
Client surveys pre and post-intervention.
Review of candidate’s assignments between modules.
Final action learning project presentations at the end of the programme to demonstrate competence.
Candidates’ self-reflective journaling and self-evaluation of programme effectiveness.
Any other business indicators that can be obtained and measured pre- and post-intervention, such as: Net Promoter Score (NPS), Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI), Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and so on.
This journey has been life changing for me!
This journey has been life changing for me. The personal and professional growth has been enormous. I’ve been promoted twice since attending the programme and reached a very senior position. This would not have happened without the development and skills I acquired during this programme. One of the primary differences between this and other training courses is the facilitator. Sharon is the difference that makes the difference.

ARE ALL CLASSES COMPULSORY?
When someone has enrolled in this particular programme all 10 classes are compulsory. However, should we customise a bespoke intervention for you, we will explore and agree on the structure and potentially have some classes that are elective.
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM NUMBER THAT CAN ATTEND THIS PROGRAMME?
We recommend no less than 8 participants and no more than 25 participants. This allows for better learning during the session as everyone is able to take part and engage experientially.
IS THIS PROGRAMME ACCREDITED AND WITH WHO?
All our courses are NQF-aligned and we are Services SETA accredited (#2257). This programme is not a formal qualification though.
HOW DO YOU DELIVER THE MASTERCLASSES AND IS THE DELIVERY VIRTUAL, IN-PERSON OR HYBRID?
We take a blended approach to learning (including synchronous and a-synchronous components) to create learning pathways that get sustainable results.

Please chat to us about your specific needs and we will be happy to recommend the best format for optimal results.
