Golf, the unchallenged heart of the old-boy business network, isn’t just for men anymore!
Ever heard the old wives’ tale about the word “golf”? Supposedly, it stands for “Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden”. Of course it’s not true.
It is a well know fact that the game of golf is synonymous with BIG business. It is fast becoming one of the most effective tools for networking and deal-making in today’s modern business world.
From top CEO to Junior Manager, the men understand this. They all have one thing in common…they play golf for personal and professional development! Most female executives and managers don’t.
Whether through fear of ridicule, lack of confidence, sheer frustration at the “old-boy network” attitude or embarrassment about not knowing the rules and etiquette of the game, women have stayed away from the game in their droves. Until now, that is!
golfHER is an exciting and innovative networking concept that combines the art of golf with access to a series of unique Personal Impact and Development Programmes for executive women. This coming together is aimed at confidence-proofing your business or career by giving you an in-depth appreciation of this powerful business tool.
During these times of economic downturn, doesn’t your business or career demand a guarantee that you’ll not only survive in the months and years ahead, but THRIVE?
What’s holding you back?
If our hunch is right about you, it’s certainly not a lack of desire. No, it’s something else. And we think that “something else” is knowledge! The kind of knowledge that each of our go-getting golfHER’s are discovering right now about creating big business or personal success that you don’t!
It is a well kept secret that the game of Golf is the world’s best leveler. No matter your position on the organisation chart, learning, and playing golf breaches the divide between executive and administrator, minorities and gender by promoting effective communication and bonding out on the greens.
From your first lesson to taking your very first swing, our etiquette and game instruction tee-parties give you the confidence to play, while our executive development programmes deliver you powerful business tools, leaving those around you wondering at your tenacity for outstanding success.
Our Events
The golfHER team offers on site or club based workshops, seminars, developmental retreats and/or private consultations to corporate clients, the public and third sectors, executive women and “she-preneurs” who want to learn the secrets of blending play with deal negotiation.
From golf’s basic concepts to tournament play, rules and etiquette to persuasive communication and the game protocols to winning business strategies; each learnt in a unique safe environment that prepares you for the success on the links your business or career truly deserves!
We offer you all our programmes as half or full-day orientations, presentations and/or seminars.
But if you are looking for something a little more specialised to meet your discerning needs, we are able to craft all of our programmes to phenomenally enhance the net worth of your people, your business or career.
