[ HISTORY ]

ELEPHANTS IN MAIN STREET has been in existence since 1995 and operate from our Head Office in South Africa. Elephants services clients all over the world and is highly experienced in, and has a deep understanding of the corporate market.

[ PHILOSOPHY ]

Our focus is on improving the productivity, performance, viability and corporate culture of an organization by enhancing individual, team and leadership ability. Any organization is only as good as its people - our focus is on building teambuilding skills, relationships and systems that increase people’s ability to produce. We believe in giving people a common goal, a structure and strategy to achieve it.

[ TURNING POINTS ]

Any successful intervention, be it an annual conference, a teambuilding exercise, a training program, or the launch of a new product, must act as a turning point in the life of the organization, even if this is only to accelerate an already successful strategy or process. ELEPHANTS IN MAIN STREET helps you turn your conferences and teambuilding events into turning points for your organisation.

[ OUR APPROACH ]

Our approach is experiential. What does experiential mean? Winston Churchill put it like this: “To look is one thing, to see what you look at is another; to understand what you see is yet another; to learn from what you understand is something else; but to act on what you learn is what really matters.”

[ OUR FACILITATORS ]

Our facilitators are carefully hand picked. Their primary quality is ability, plus a great willingness to work with teams to effect better production and sales performance. They have to be leaders. They have to be able to face up to and coach the delegates through the various projects at precisely the right gradient to effect positive change.

Our facilitators have a deep and practical understanding, born of experience and training, of what makes people tick. Better understanding, better co–operation, better communication and better conflict handling are part and parcel of our courses and our facilitators have to be better at these than anyone else. ELEPHANTS IN MAIN STREET is very proud of their facilitators and equally proud of the processes that we have developed. These processes and facilitators have produced our long line of satisfied clients.

[ ‘CUSTOMISATION’ ]

Every organisation is different. Our interventions are flexible and our consultants and facilitators are skilled in matching the process to the need. Our pre–course questionnaire, conducted before every intervention, ensures that we understand your needs and wants perfectly.
