CHANGE DESIGNS TRAINING COURSES AND workshops

Download a catalogue of all courses

powerful training that produces real results.

Change Designs Courses are powerful in that they deal with real life organisational challenges in a way that blends rational, emotional and spiritual intelligence. All Change Designs courses are:  

  • Practical.

  • Innovative.

  • Fun and exciting.

  • Easy to understand. Delegates learn by doing.

  • Relevant to South African and African organizations.

  • Up to date.

  • Empowering. Delegates are given the opportunity to try out practical tools and techniques for themselves within a safe workshop environment – so they feel more confident about using these tools in real life.

  • Group work encourages delegates from different areas to understand and befriend people different to themselves. This helps break down organisational barriers.

  • Inspirational. Delegates leave courses feeling energised, and comment that the courses are ‘life changing’.

A package of tools and training.

Every delegate receives a beautifully crafted and packaged toolkit on each course.  During the course, the delegates practice using the tools on real life challenges they are facing. After the course, they have the confidence to solve any similar problem using their toolkit. The tools are published by Change Designs Publishing, and combine the intellectual capital from Ruth Tearle’s vast experience in consulting and facilitation, with the fresh look and feel of Mike Blignaut’s creative designs.  

Train the trainer option.

All courses are available as a train-the-trainer option. In-house trainers need to attend one course run by a Change Designs certified trainer, as a delegate. Then they attend a train-the-trainer course. The practical toolkit at the core of each Change Designs course, makes it easier and quicker for trainers to learn to train a Change Designs course.
