CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

What I found most beneficial from the FLEX Programme is that it was extremely learner-centric, yet, Platform for Connected Leadership managed to create a learning experience based on connectedness and psychological safety whereby learning was derived from others, openness of mind and co-creating a richer, more meaningful engagement. Higher levels of knowledge and understanding were achieved through learning from self- and others by breaking down boundaries and sharing perspectives, resulting in constructive debate and respect for individualism, diversity and uniqueness. Indeed, a very fulfilling and rich learning journey. Thank you PCL!

Platform for Connected Leadership’s training intervention significantly differs from others in how they deliver their leadership development interventions. They have moved beyond theatre-style training, do not teach, nor lecture – they facilitate. Their faculty are not just teachers, but also listeners. Listening to participants’ worldviews and experiences as they paint their universe of knowledge and understanding onto the canvas of dialogue and ideas. All in all, a great experience. Thank you to the PCL team.

The FLEX Champion Leaders programme gave me a lot of insights and different perspectives on what all is involved in managing and leading a successful business enterprise. These insights were elucidated even more so during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated disruptions. I found the way in which the facilitators could push us to think differently about things in order to manage ambiguity and uncertainty, with tolerance and sense-making, very different and unique from other leadership development initiatives I have done before.

PCL’s training provides an opportunity to reach beyond the boundaries of your bubble. It explores how diverse and differing industries face similar challenges and utilises these experiences to build new and novel ways to tackle future challenges. A multitude of different techniques and learning processes are combined to create a stimulating and memorable learning and development experience.

Fantastic experience - this is not a programme or a course - it is an experience that has given me the confirmation that "learning must be a way of life" - a huge thank you to all of the presenters, Lincoln University and PCL for the professional way that everything was done!

We are always advised to keep learning and keep searching for knowledge. MBA Premier League Bootcamp has reminded me of the value of this and re-ignited a desire to accelerate my learning curve.
A great group of speakers with real insights and wonderful thought challenges.
I would strongly recommend participation as this will challenge your views on where you are today in your career, your role and your personal journey.
Thanks Prof Steyn, Marina and the PCL Team.

Very informative and enlightening bootcamp. It was a different experience, an eye opener for what may be in store ahead in terms of Technology, Marketing, Supply Chain, HR etc. Looking forward to another session in the future. Thank you and all the best!

The overall agenda and session was great. It was a great learning experience and please keep me informed for such type of trainings and bootcamps.

This will definitely help in my professional experience.

Ayaz Ahmed

Digital Transformation Manager

Firstly, I would like to thank Raymond and Marina for inviting me to attend the online bootcamp organised by PCL. I could not attend all sessions as I was invited a few days ahead of Week 2. However, I did attend most sessions in Week 2 and found the experience truly enriching. From the facilitators like Prof. Steyn Heckroodt to highly established panelists who engaged and exposed the cohort to cutting edge research and new thinking on the future of management and leadership.

I completed my MSc in Marketing and Strategy in 2011, and it has been nearly a decade since I've had any classroom-like experience or a bootcamp of this nature. It was in fact my first online bootcamp that I've attended thanks to advancement in technology. It was a refresher, and I take home a renewed motivation to take on academic pursuits to stay updated.

Thank you once again and I hope to continue networking with inspired minds in your network and possibly access literature or future programmes.

I really enjoyed this bootcamp and it was really insightful. It was a great experience to pick the brains of different leaders from various sectors, difficulties they face and how they manage to overcome the same. Also all the subject matter experts were highly engaging and enlightened us with their experience.
I'm looking forward to attending more bootcamps & courses with PCL in the future.

I thought the way that PCL managed to adapt so quickly to the fact that we had to move today's sessions to remote sessions was excellent. From a participant point of view there was minimal disruption to the flow and the quality of the session was still good although we could not interact in-person.
