Lead faculty for 12 x accelerated learning programmes for First Rand Bank
The Client
First Rand Bank is a South African headquartered bank with 44,000 employees.
The Brief
David was the lead faculty member on a two-year leadership development journey for FNB’s HR business, collaborating with The Josh Bersin Academy.
The Solution
David began by facilitating a Vision Session for FRB Execs, to understand what competencies they wanted their talent to upskill in.
The Agenda
Consequently, David designed & delivered half day masterclasses on:
From operational order-taker to strategic consultant
The art of influence
High impact communication: pitching to a dragons’ den of career deciding stakeholders
In addition, David was responsible for the design of the action-learning process (including problem setting, sponsor engagement, 3 x check-ins to understand the progress teams were making & unblock the challenges they were encountering).
The Results
“It is difficult to distil into mere words the impact my time with David has had on me both professionally and personally. I sought out David at a pivotal point in my career where I needed to transition from leading through the lens of subject matter expertise towards being a more influential leader.
Whilst confident of my craft I needed support to help me step into the next level of leadership with boldness while still remaining authentic – honouring the sense of who I am. I was clear that I still wanted to look at myself in the mirror and still be able to recognize myself. I learnt so much from David including, use of the body as a tool to demonstrate executive presence, the ability self-observe and maintain composure and sovereignty in challenging moments.
We did this in 5 sessions and I that is testament to David’s expertise in his craft. The work is never done but I am on my way. If you are on the hunt for leadership coaching in a safe space, on any aspect related to
personal mastery, look no further.”
