“Our Annual Congress was a fantastic evening,” commented Alan and Linda. “it’s great to get all our teams together and see such a magical team spirit. The concept of our awards focuses on two cultures of success, the western culture where awards go to 1st, 2nd and 3rd places and the eastern culture of Kaizen (a Japanese word for continuous improvement).
“We believe that each member of our team is special and deserves their own recognition of success. As teachers and coaches, our job is to constantly reaffirm that we should not fear failures along the way and try to ensure that encouragementalways goes to individual members. One of our great rewards in the industry is to see a constant intake of school leavers join our team, with their dreams big, shiny and bright. It re-energises us to watch their progress. Helping them grow and achieve their ambitions is the measure of our success.”
