Since our humble beginning in 2002, the company has grown strength-to-strength. Till date we had worked with more than 20,000 youths. With our expansion into Primary Schools and Corporate World, we are set to see further growth.
Through our interactions with schools and their quest for a more developmental approach to leadership development, we had developed our "Leadership Pinnacle" model. This is an unique in-house researched and developed model using the UDL approach: Unified, Developmental and Layered. The model provides a platform for a whole school holistic and developmental approach to leadership training.
Our Corporate Division had grown into a full pledge company, "Horizons Training". It will extend to the corporate world our unique approach of "Awareness The Fun Way", facilitating meetings through activities and as well as coaching trainings.
2009 is predicted to be a financially challenging year. We believe this is the time for more care, support and growth. The company will continue to focus our effort in research, development and growing our staff to deliver even more effective as well as impactful trainings.
Together, I am confident and certain we can scale the "wall" of 2009.
