Testimonials

The most sceptic person (me) is now the biggest marketer of this product. I can’t see any other method of development for high performing teams.

André Gouws - Training Manager for ArcelorMittal South Africa

Morning Sandra my name is Plaatjie Sekete working at ArcelorMittal South Africa in Vanderbijlpark. The Lemasa programme helped me a lot and it opened new opportunities for me and I'm now furthering my studies because of this programme.

MDC really opened my view on how to approach my work and life. The course really helped me with my attitude towards my work, and the people I work with in order to produce good results.

How did you the coaching centre (MDC) assist you in your quest for development and career?

It equipped me on a middle management level with the necessary competencies to implement within the organisations’ strategic objectives. Furthermore, the programme helped me to develop a basic understanding of the different fields of management to ensure that I do not perform my own management functions in isolation.

Leadership: The coaching sessions taught me how to become a good leader and manager; and also the importance of teamwork. Leading from the front was key for me.

Andrew Setime

Doing articles and the MDC with LEMASA, was the toughest time of my life. I thought that Christine was out to get me. I was right, Christine and LEMASA was on a mission to get every ounce of talent, skill and leadership out of me. I hated it then, but I know its true value now.

Knowing the personnel for a long time I found them very helpful, competent and eager to give assistance.
