How we learn
Learning that moves beyond knowledge.
Oakleaf Training & Consulting uses the GRID Training Method, designed by Len Stevens and widely used in South Africa. The methodology is designed to support skills transfer during the workshop, connecting knowledge with practice, attitude and behaviour.
The experience is highly interactive and focuses on applying ideas—not just hearing about them.
Practical cases
Explore realistic workplace situations and decisions.
Group activities
Learn collaboratively through structured exercises.
Personal reflection
Examine assumptions, values and leadership habits.
Coaching & presentations
