Transforming
Leadership:
The Short Walk to Freedom
A three day liberating leadership seminar on Robben Island, Cape Town, South
Africa,
inspired by the book "Long Walk to Freedom" by former president
Nelson Mandela
"We as leaders are all prisoners without knowing: Prisoners of paradigms,
prejudice end
personal pain. If we can learn from prisoners of the past, we can shorten
our walk to
freedom to leave longer time for leadership in our respective circles."
- Gustav Gous.
A liberating leadership seminar using as venue and textbook, Robben Island,
the infamous prison where
former president Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for 18 of his 27 years
of political imprisonment. The Short
Walk to Freedom Seminar makes it once again possible for established leaders
to arrive on the shores of
Robben Island, turn it into the University of Life like the former political
prisoners, and leave as even greater
leaders! This three day seminar is designed for a selected group of leaders
in senior positions, to liberate and
equip them to fulfill their leadership roles even better in their own contexts.
This seminar has the power to
transform you; for you to transform our world! Leaders from all continents
are invited, to share in this
experience. During the seminar you will embark on a journey that will take
you from captivity, through the
exhilaration of liberation, to the discovery of your responsibility - in
preparation for, and extension of your
unique leadership role.

"Thank you Gustav. The Short Walk to Freedom was a walk into self discovery
and provided keys to my selfimposed
prisons." Albert van der Merwe, HR Manager: Sasol Oil.
"A most useful seminar, where I learned the following: "Real appreciation
for the viewpoints of others; to free
myself from a self constructed prison; to get rid of emotional baggage,
and how to bounce back and approach
things differently." Johann Swartz, HR Manager: Sasol Synfuels.
"It really made me advance further to freedom and the development of
my inner self. I highly recommend this for
others …" Dr Rajen Misra, Director: Department of Health.

through the whole symbolism from being
imprisoned to liberation, and from freedom to responsibility. I would highly
recommend this seminar to all leaders".
