The Lifework Leadership Programme is designed for leaders who desire transformation – change from the inside out. This programme challenges the mind and engages the heart, all the while looking at Jesus as the ultimate example of leadership.

CATALYSE CONNECTIONSIt’s tough to find Christians in the marketplace. They’re either silenced by culture or they struggle to find effective ways to integrate faith at work. You’ll make these connections at Lifework.

NO TIME WASTEDTime is money. Lifework will not squander it. We will leverage every minute to help you set a new course for greater impact.

MARKETPLACE CENTRICYou’ll gain deep insights from leaders you would want to work for – successful business men and women who share your passion and have walked the talk.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENTYou spend the majority of your time at work. And you’re good at it. But you wonder – could you be doing more for God? If you’re like most Christian leaders, the answer is YES... but you don’t need to leave your job to do it.

Understand your higher purpose. Live your life according to that.NOEL FITZ-GIBBONFormer CFO – Omnia

Being part of Lifework Leadership helped me to look at the deeper meaning of business from a fresh biblical perspective. Journeying with other believers who also struggle with everyday challenges in the marketplace and engaging with these issues in a true biblical manner has been very refreshing. The course’s power lies in the relations one builds with fellow graduates, the stories of real life crises and ethical solutions.

MARNO BOSHOFFDirector – Dreamstrat Consulting

Are you looking for new growth and energy, purpose in life, solid principles and advice that create positive change, incredible speakers with real life success stories, new business partners to contribute to your successes, friends who share your values and to top it all, a revived relationship with the best Leader, Trainer and Coach, JESUS? Join this amazing journey now; it certainly changed my approach to life and put my calling in a new perspective.

RONÉL BEZUIDENHOUTManaging Director – The Capital Hotel School

Lifework Leadership is a critical step on the journey to achieving a fulfilling work life. It has made me realise that my challenges are not so unique and learn from the experiences of others who have successfully navigated similar twists in their careers, in an ethical, Christ-focused way.

If you are willing to share and participate openly on this journey, you are very likely to bring Christ centred humility to your perspective and decision making.

At Lifework, you will learn to inspire and lead others by better understanding yourself and how you relate to people and situations. The programme will develop your personal leadership skills. It will inspire you through other business leaders who share their stories to success. It will teach you to have resilience and self-belief. I highly recommend the programme to all who aspire to be leaders in any sector/field.

BONGANI MABIZELABusiness Development Executive – Bigen

Lifework is an experience where you find how to integrate your faith, and calling, into your daily life. It is not a religious/legalistic/dogmatic process! Lifework surrounds you with phenomenal business and spiritual leaders who can show you what’s possible, and how they did it. It really is the next level of spiritual maturity and growth...

PARTNERSHIPSOur Lifework Leadership alumni and sponsors represent a variety of businesses and non-profit organisations globally, including the following:

Business leaders are key contributors and shapers of the communities we live in. As Christians they are challenged to engage their faith in the decisions and dealings of their daily functioning, and many times feel deeply inadequate.

Lifework Leadership is the most empowering global tool I know to equip business leaders for this very purpose!

ALAN PLATTLeader – Doxa Deo

I wanted to be challenged with God's perspective on my life at work and as a leader. My expectations were not only met but exceeded! I am refreshed in my purpose and my calling was affirmed.

Lifework Leadership is a course like no other and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to live a life of significance.
