Training Facilitators


John Ingram

People who need motivating are lacking in inspiration!”

John has managed his own group of companies for over 15 years and while this does take some time, he has followed his passion; inspiring others. Having been a Chartered Accountant and Business Director of two large South African organisations, he is able to apply the disciplines of the academic with that of the practitioner.

John’s real value comes in his “no-nonsense” approach to inspiring and driving teams to greater success and creating a “want to” attitude with the delegates.

Whether applying his 1 to 2 hour inspirational talk or participating in the team development programs, it’s all about the energy one finds from being excited by what you do. John’s clients rave about his approach and his ability to lift both people and teams to unleash their “vuma”.
