The results of the Gifting Institute Programme are pure benefits for any individual, company or team. The Gifting Institute’s 360º strategy provides an even platform from which every person is impacted – from floor sweeper to CEO – unifying entire companies and institutions in the process.

Imagine how your life could change if you discovered what makes you really come alive. Imagine if your company/team learnt how to combine and maximise each member’s strengths. Imagine the possibilities.

Nick Badminton, CEO, Pick ‘n Pay Retail
“Over the past five years, the Gifting Institute has successfully completed various projects for our Company, including leadership and coaching programmes with some of our most senior staff and executives. Passionate about building trust and relationships, their success has very definitely added much value to the development of our human capital and subsequently, to our bottom line.”

Johan Nell, Owner/Manager, Sonstraal Superspar
“In today’s world, and especially in South Africa with its cultural differences and demographics, we tend to subconsciously compartmentalize and isolate each other. In an environment where we rely on teamwork for success, this isolation is disastrous to our business. Through your course, I (and I’m sure all my staff) learnt that our individuality is our greatest agents of power. By embracing this discovery, we can break down the barriers preventing us from reaching one another. I strongly recommend your course to all businesses and individuals who require more from life than just to exist. Please accept our sincere thanks.”

Karl Schmidt. Senior Partner Deloitte & Touche, KwaZulu Natal
“The power behind this simple concept is incredible and can be utilized in any business. True teamwork and success in business is about building trust and understanding our strengths and weaknesses. The Gifting Seminar presented to our partners was extremely enlightening and the value derived will be powerfully utilized within our business.”

It’s definitely our intention to further utilise the Gifting Institute’s services into the future.”

Kevin Smith, Kearsney College and Natal Schools Rugby Coach
“The principles identified within the motivation and identification sessions are incredibly valuable and resulted in a highly successful tour to the U.K– played six, won six. This is Team Building at its best!”

Mrs K Govender, Principal, Immaculata Girls High
“As a result of this programme, some of our young ladies have turned themselves around from self-destructive behaviour to assuming positions of leadership and responsibility in the school. The warm inviting way in which every girl was ‘held’ during your presentation was extremely important for them because of the many social barriers that so many of our girls face daily. We thank you most sincerely for your input in developing women of worth.”

Diana Van Zyl, Headmistress, Herschel Girls High

“The Gifting Institute really inspired me to set goals and achieve them in life. Before the programme I felt confused and hopeless, I felt useless because I didn’t know what to do with my life. You gave me the gateway to life and I now aim high and know I can achieve all my goals.”

Niba Makeleni, Student, Immaculata Girls High

Chanray Adams, Student, Immaculata Girls High
“I am so grateful for what you have given me. I never knew what my talents and gifts were and I always thought that I would never get anywhere in life because of my low self esteem and low self-confidence. I now know that I am capable of doing anything I want to and that being me is the most important gift I could give anybody. You have given me a reason to keep on dreaming.”

Lindsay Nicolls, Student, Immaculata Girls High
“I thank you for making me see myself in another light. It has helped me in many things that have happened since our one-on-one meeting. I sometimes, in times of sorrow, think of what you had told me. That I have a good heart and that I am caring. I try and remember that when things are bad and it seems like nothing is going my way.”

Natalie Wilkins, Student, Immaculata Girls High
“It is nice to know someone out there is looking out for people like me.”

Alarice Poggenpoel, Student, Immaculata Girls High
