  Tall Trees Profiles

  Sept 2015 - now

  Tall Trees Facilitator

  Tall Trees ProfilesTM are truly South African, culturally relevant, affordable and available throughout the country and overseas in printed or on-line form, in both Afrikaans and English. There are two separate profiles: the Tall Trees Leadership profile (TTLP) for teenagers from 12 to 18 and the Tall Trees Leadership Profile (TTLP) for adults to be used with everybody over 18. Within less than half an hour, the profiles present a trustworthy description of the individual. The Tall Trees Leadership profile results in a three-faceted perspective on individuals by taking into account how they function with regards to their social activities, employment and general life view. This threefold point of departure makes Tall Trees unique in its field. Tall Trees ProfilesTM focus on every person’s responsibility to make optimal use of their strengths and not to hide behind so-called “weaknesses”. Every test and workshop result in a practical plan for growth. Tall Trees ProfilesTM have a fresh perspective on leadership that excludes nobody. Our leadership philosophy allows for task-orientated and people-orientated leadership in and outside the spotlight. Tall Trees ProfilesTM include practical growth solutions for each individual between the ages of 12 and 112, as well as for every relationship, be it personal or professional. Tall Trees empowers every young person and adult with answers to six central questions:What are my Forces Within (my unique strengths)? Where are my Fields of Greatness (the situations where I belong and where I should take the lead)? What is my Fertilizer (what I need to flourish)? What is my Frostbite (things that tap my energy and prevent me from functioning optimally)? Why do Forest Fires suddenly rage through my relationships (what are my communication and conflict management styles)? What pushes me into Fast Forward (the mountain I have to climb in order to truly grow as an individual and team member)? Show less
