Thumbs up to Photography Workshop delegates
Delegates attending the photography workshop on 26 August 2010 at PRISA, Ferndale learnt that a picture truly is worth a thousand words.
That is when you keep in mind camera focus, focal plane, the 2 push shutter button, rule of thirds, utilisation of space…… to mention a few principles they discussed at the workshop.
Richard Strever, managing director of Zoom Photography, facilitated the workshop. Delegates said that he was very easy to understand and made it all very exciting. “Richard was engaging and clear with his explanations, an excellent presenter who made our learning day fun,” said Stella Bornebroek, HR practitioner – communication at Samancor Ferrometals.
At the end of the day Richard gave delegates his thumbs up and sent them off eager to snap the world.

This highly entertaining and intensive workshop is all about writing excellent English texts for the media in such a manner that pople will want to read, remember and respond to it to achieve organisational objectives.

Stakeholder Engagement and Management: 1 July 2010
Senior Communication Managers and PR practitioners talk a lot about stakeholders and of managing relationships with stakeholders. But what do we really mean by stakeholders? How do we know who our stakeholders are? Howe do we manage expectations? What ‘stakes’ do they hold in our organizations that could impact our reputation? And, if they do – so what?
Most practically, how do managers go about managing their stakeholders? What methodology and tools are relevant in this area? How is leadership decision making generally enhanced by this area of business and is integration really possible across the organization?
Fundamentally, how do we communicate vale in real business terms?
Stakeholder Management is no longer an option for organizations in SA today, Further more, find out what the King 3 Report requires from organisations and why governance & reporting will never be the same. Either way the playfield will continue to change and as stakeholder manager you are at the forefront of managing critical relations on behalf of your business – a skill so critical that it subtly makes or breaks organisations of all sizes
