Speaking on the benefits of the programme, former participants Vanessa Henneman and Jara Lucieer, of Henneman Agency said:
“Screen Leaders was one of the best things that has happened to our company recently. Apart from getting the opportunity to analyse, rethink and restructure our organisation with the help of great experts and coaches, it also meant a lot to our personal development as leaders. It felt like therapy for our company and we came out stronger and more focused. The program is very hands-on and orientated to the daily practice (and worries). We learned a lot from working with the other participants. Connecting with them proved very valuable for our business approach already. We recommend Screen Leaders to anyone who has the ambition to upscale and professionalize their company. It was a privilege being part of it.”
