stone and monash sa add value to business communication in africa
|
Monash University (SA campus of the renowned Australian university group) in partnership with stone launched the Monash Business Communication Initiative, comprising three integrated initiatives to address the needs of senior and developing communication professionals, working in both consulting and in-house environments.
Communication practitioners need to move from a service mentality to a business-critical mind-set in their understanding of their corporate communication role in today's challenging business environment. Sound guidance, sharing and healthy debate will raise the standard and quality of corporate communication in business in South Africa. Monash South Africa and stone share a common passion and commitment to address the corporate communication challenges in business and to add value to the industry. Join the Monash Business Communication Initiative and its platforms of interaction to reap real value. Make communication a key strategic tool in your business success.

stone aims to be a go-giver by adding more value
The Go-Giver: The Go-Giver by Bob Burgh and David Mann is a little story about a powerful business idea - a book that you MUST read! Imparted with wit and grace, The Go-Giver is a heart-warming and inspiring tale that brings new relevance to the old proverb "give and you shall receive." (but definitely not a soppy read!) - visit www.thegogiver.com or your nearest quality bookstore. Gurus like Stephen Covey and David Bach thinks it is the latest best thing to hit the bookshelves! Willem Eksteen, founder of stone, is a listed Walking Go-Giver ambassador.
Southern Sun Book-a-Guesthouse: The programme provides proactive meaningful training and support to emerging guesthouse entrepreneurs in the spirit of industry empowerment and transformation. What started as a small pilot of empowering 5 guesthouses in Soweto has now grown to a much larger national initiative under the guardianship of hospitality guru Dr Bill Gallagher. Willem Eksteen was part of the founding team of the Southern Sun Book-a-Guesthouse programme and the programme remains close to his heart - visit www.bookaguesthouse.co.za for more information.
Metro Evangelical Services: M.E.S. is an organisation founded on Christian values, making a huge difference to improve the world of the poor and those in need in the metropolitan cities of South Africa. stone is aligned to the goals of M.E.S. and proudly contributes in funds and kind to support the great work they do - visit www.mes.givengain.org for more information and to see how they can add value to your world while you make a real difference in theirs.
