Team issues have one thing in common: bad communication and team members not listening well.

The fact that your team members don’t know how to listen well is costing your company its profit, engagement, and productivity. In this keynote talk, we will give you 3 easy steps to follow to listen well and actually add value to a conversation.

  • Reflect on your own bad listening habits.
  • Understand the levels of listening.
  • Implement a practical listening tool.
How to take your business from start up to profitable business.

From Pitlane to Podium

  • Understand motivation for high performance.
  • Implement practical communication tools.

What our clients have to say

I have known Credo for a long time and have always been aware of their industry knowledge and passion for what they do. This is the second company that I have asked Credo to work on. The previous one was a lost cause and Credo helped us to keep things together than we otherwise might have. I was even more impressed though on this most recent session that they held. It was a session Culture - a very difficult topic. What I found most impressive was their ability to take such an intangible concept with a mixed and not perfectly united group and enable us to get to a point of great clarity and alignment on culture and values as well as actionable next steps for us to take the work further. I would and do highly recommend Credo to other companies like ours.
Rob HeynsFounder, Steel Cut Spirits and Sugar Bird Gin
We had Helene in to facilitate a workshop for our staff and we have experienced a marked difference in our interactions, and just our general vibe since then. She gave us practical tools we could easily implement to keep up the momentum after the workshop, and each one of us took ownership of certain actions which was a good change. We now easily have feedback sessions, we have started a ‘parking lot’ and we have changed the structure of our weekly meeting. Could not be happier with the outcome!
Julia Finnis BedfordManaging Director, Amazing Spaces
During the management development training with Credo Growth, I have seen results within our team beyond my expectations. It has been wonderful to see my managers honing their natural strengths and building new ones and the benefits have filtered through their teams. They have been equipped with an understanding of how their actions and reactions affect their team's performance, how to communicate difficult things effectively and how to better understand the strengths of their team.
Darian LipriniFounder, Avanza
I can’t think of a better term to describe Credo than a “difference maker”. Credo has walked a long road with our business and has helped turn the vision of building a truly values-driven organization into a reality. Credo’s energy is infectious with an incredible way with people and has you walking away from every engagement with fresh motivation, new insights and genuine alignment on how, as a team and an individual, you will be better the next day.
Larsen Lockwood-HallCEO, GhostDraft
Credo proved their worth once again, they took very opinionated leaders through a virtual consulting and coaching workshop with great ease. The impact was felt straight away, there were a lot of issues addressed and resolved. A new way of working was formulated,  the leadership is aligned and performing better than ever.

Caroline Bayley-GeldenhuysFounder, Classic Escapes
With Trust being one of the core values of D-One Smart homes, I was intrigued and interested to learn more. The webinar was presented professionally. It was high value in a short time. Very clear, direct and to the point. I learnt about the components of what builds trust in relationships, and have tools that I can use in my business immediately. The timing was great for us, as I am working on developing our network as a marketing strategy, through direct engagement. Now I can consciously apply this approach to building trust in our brand, and building a pipeline of sustainable key sales channels. Thank you Helene, I am glad that I attended.
Darren SwanepoelFounder, D1Smarthomes
Credo Growth joined us for a webinar on building remote teams during the age of COVID-19 and beyond. The presentation was engaging and interesting, focussed on members of the travel and tourism industry – many of whom are used to working in a bricks and mortar environment. Helene provided practical guidance that teams could implement from the get-go regardless of where they are in terms of their businesses. In these unprecedented times, her calm delivery of advice was reassuring and extremely helpful, providing structure in an otherwise difficult and uncertain time. I would recommend her services highly.
Natalia RosaPR and Communications Manager, SATSA
Credo Growth consulted with our leadership team as we were going through a change management process whereby the founding team was giving over operational control to a new CEO. It’s very important to us that our leadership team is a well-oiled machine and no time is spent on miss communication or inefficiencies. Credo proved their worth once again, they took very opinionated leaders through a virtual consulting and coaching workshop with great ease and everybody had an amazing time. The impact was felt straight away, there were a lot of issues addressed and resolved. A new way of working was formulated. The leadership is aligned and performing better than ever. I personally was very happy as we were concerned about the virtual coaching, very well put together, and managed over Zoom. I cannot recommend Credo enough!
