Feedback about Ditch Mediocrity:

 

Monique Wilds, People Success Manager at Iridium Business Solution:

 

"It is very insightful, easy to read, very practical and easy to implement in your day to day. Since reading the book, I'm more aware of how I communicate and why people react to certain things the way in which they do. We have even implemented a few things amongst the team, and it seems to be working. I have started a book club at the company to read the book and they are super excited for the practical tools to enable them to lead efficiently and because it's 90 pages they feel like it's doable! Awesome book!!"

 

Richard Mulholland, Founder at Missing Link:

 

Heléne's book achieves something no other book on team dynamics that I've read has managed to do. It cuts the bullsh*t. This is a no nonsense highly practical guide to what it takes to create a high performing team.

 

Richard Walton, Co-founder at Prime Pixels:

 

What a wonderful read, thought provoking and a real must for any leader that wants to improve their team's performance or more importantly their own leadership.

 

Grant Greef, Founder of Alto Growth and Head of Strategic Partnerships at SearchKings Africa:

 

It's always a privilege to be able to support South Africans making a real difference. And if you don't have the time to read this, think about buying one for your head of HR or the like as a gift.
