Personal Leadership
This programme has been developed, and is presented, under the auspices of Rand Afrikaans University. Successful course participants on the comprehensive programme receive an RAU attendance certificate.

Developed by Stef du Plessis, widely regarded as one of South Africa's leading resources in understanding and stimulating human potential, the programme is designed to assist participants in undergoing permanent behavioural change. To this end, sessions are spaced, thereby allowing participants to fully internalise new concepts and to entrench new behavioural patterns before being exposed to the next module.
