MASTERCLASS SERIES

More than just training, more than just theory.  A GPD Masterclass is an educational experience that incorporates practice, reflection and improvement opportunities applied in real life and real time. 

Our trainers are practising mediators/FDRPs.  They teach at the finest educational institutions and deliver training to some of the largest companies. They have designed each training to ensure you learn and practice relevant skills and tools that can be applied instantly.

All the MasterClasses are small group trainings, so you can expect individual attention and mentoring throughout, and the opportunity to meet and connect with your peers.

Being a leader in the modern world requires character, competencies and skills. 

We develop training for CEOs, managers and team leaders that will enhance their key strengths, and develop their skills in creating a harmonious work environment and removing barriers to productivity and success.
