Facilitators | Zinakekele

How are we unique?

We deal with the underlying ‘stuff’ that gets in the way of 100% commitment to the company, turning it from negativity into enthusiasm and passion for your organisation. We go far beyond just team-building to build powerful workplace communities.

We ensure full participation of everybody, from shop-floor to Exco, in ways that few other facilitators are capable. Singing, dancing and storytelling are just some of the highly experiential methods we use to build a world-class, high-performance corporate culture.

Most trainings work for a short period and the lessons wear off after a few months. Not so with Lance Bloch & Associates. We have ongoing monthly processes that keep the change and spirit alive, year after year. “Magic happens on this course and, unlike other trainings, it gets better and better as time goes on.” -Natalie Stoltz, MD, Privest Natalie Stoltz

We are recognised not just in South Africa as leaders in the training and transformation field, but have won prestigious international awards and nominations for our work since our company’s establishment in 1994.

BRILLIANT AT RELATIONSHIPS WITH UNIONS: Experience and continual feedback show that the “miracles” we perform in management/union relationship buildings can turn a company’s fortunes around. Very few others can compare with our results here.
