Tony Dovale

“I would like to thank you (Tony Dovale) for a truly enlightening and life changing experience. We have conducted many team buildings before, but the major difference with yours was that it helped in breaking down barriers within the team. It also made us to focus on key leadership aspects that we, as the executive team should be prioritizing in leading our organization. It also enabled us to build up trust within the team, which makes us stronger. Your facilitation was a unique experience and powerful for all of us.”

“I’ve never been in a training that was as inspiring as that facilitated by Tony Dovale. It was both energizing and inspirational. I definitely think most organisations can benefit from such a training, which motivates teams and helps people to work together through better understanding, while having fun in the workplace. The real power is the pathway created to enable people to think out of the box, try out different ideas and understand what really makes you and others to tick. Programmes like this, which gives you a good understanding of yourself and an awareness of where you are in relation to where you need to be are priceless.”

“After only one day of teambuilding, facilitated by Tony Dovale, I could see a marked improvement in the coherence of the TEAM. I realize that real teambuilding means work, not merely group entertainment. The Stop-Start-Continue list which we drafted gave us concrete stuff to work on, and we keep reminding ourselves of this through regular stock-taking of where we are. I recommend Tony with no hesitation, for the programme content and for his unique style”.

Elizabeth van Renen, Director, International Trade, Department of Agriculture.

Zain, Financial Manager, Office of the Public Protector.

“Our team is moving on really well. The team has gotten so much closer to each other. The day after Tony Dovale was with us, we made agreements on ways of working together and came up with ways to interact with each other on a more regular basis. The great thing I see now is that people are giving each other compliments and calling each other for help. Trust has massively gone up. My main objective now is to build upon that momentum. Thanks again for your great help … PS even in my private life it has made a difference, I am now so much more aware of the fact that I have a “choice” on what I choose to feel like. This has been a major eye-opener.”

Chris D., Nestle Nutricia.

One sure way to describe him is “simply divine”.

Anthony Otigbu, Co- Owner, Global Dart

=====================================================

“I participated in the Coach Activator Workshop facilitated by Dr. Emmanuel Imevbore in Namibia in March 2018. What stands out for me is how he showed us how to become effective and successful coaches, by practically playing out the roles/responsibilities of the coach and coachee. Importantly, I learnt how to take control of a situation while playing the part of coach and not to be afraid. The training also gave me an opportunity to gain awareness of other peoples’ needs and I began to see possible opportunities for myself. This is in addition to learning that I can always expand my capacity by aspiring to distinguish myself from others in the same profession. I highly recommend Dr. Imevbore to anyone requiring the services of a professional coach and mentor”.

Mildred Wolf. Retired Executive Assistant (Windhoek, Namibia).

=====================================================

“My biggest win from engagements with Dr Emmanuel Imevbore was realising my dreams through the coaching skills acquired in the process..  I am proud of myself for not giving up when the future was not looking good. I had previously stopped dreaming, yet I had so much more within me that I could access and leverage, to nourish my soul.  Right now I can face the world with positive attitude and I can now fly with the eagles.  I’ve had fantastic and superb coaching sessions”.

Precious Msibi, Field Operations Manager, Transnet Pipelines.

==================================================================

I just want to share a quick note and my appreciation for the leadership coaching experience with Dr Emmanuel Imevbore. It was truly an honour to have worked with Dr. Emmanuel Imevbore on the 12-Month programme, which commenced in June 2018. His experience, patience and guidance throughout the journey inspired and helped me to continuously aspire to do, and be better. The coaching sessions were always well paced, and the progress being made was closely monitored.

Alexander Shapaka, Senior Metallurgist, Dundee Precious Metals Tsumeb (DPMT), Namibia.

=======================================================

“Dr Emanuel Imevbore’s approach to coaching has given me immediate benefits.  In all our sessions, I have received thought-provoking outcomes, including guidance on how to process information, and especially the importance of taking care of the “core”.  My leadership skills and assertiveness have dramatically improved as I have learned to focus on principles, rather than the emotions or perceived hidden agendas.  Dr Emmanuel is very accommodating, flexible, and I am assured of confidentiality, which has made me feel free to discuss even personal issues.  His coaching has helped me to harmonise my different roles, namely, at home (personal space) and at work through the different principles and formulas that he has shared. I am grateful to have started this journey towards a better version of myself and I’m loving it.  I am thankful to Transnet Group for connecting me with Dr Emmanuel, who is now my lifetime coach!”

The Workshop was an eye opener as I learned a lot about how to develop skills to influence and motivate my team and also excite my customers. After the training I could build and execute winning strategies that focused my energy and sustained my momentum. Dr. Emmanuel Imevbore is very well informed on the subject and I could understand clearly what the workshop was about. He is very well organised and could captivate the attention of the audience.”

“I chose Dr Emmanuel Imevbore to be my Executive Coach for the Transnet Leadership Coaching programme, and this has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. Firstly Dr Emmanuel is a very kind person who makes people feel most comfortable when conversing in coaching sessions. Secondly, the level of professionalism, dedication and passion which he has demonstrated clearly justify his capacity to have been successful in the coaching industry for more than 20 years. Personally, I have grown greatly from the time we first met till now. I have acquired skills which have improved my approach to matters at work and also acquired great business skills. I greatly recommend all the professionals and leaders that desire coaching, especially executive coaching to have Dr Imevbore on their speed dial, as I personally think there is no one who can execute the job better than him.”

“I met Dr. Emmanuel Imevbore in 2009 when I attended a leadership and coaching programme that he organised and facilitated. At that time, I was a new startup entrepreneur, and I wanted content and depth for my role as a business owner and new Managing Director. The five days that we spent together was the best investment in my business. With his guidance I was able to map strategies for the new Company. Today, I remain grateful for the coaching engagement, because our organization has been built upon the foundations of his coaching engagements, as well as upon the principles from his book (“Business Intelligence”), a practical business building book.” Engr. Victor Ifezue, MD/CEO, Kings Knight Ind. Co Ltd., Warri, Nigeria.

I particularly appreciate our conversations, your ability to unlock my thoughts and for helping to keep me focused in my life and professional journey. I have seen myself develop and grow as an individual, being greatly inspired by all that I can achieve in this lifetime. And, if it was not for you, I would never have started writing my book; neither would I have been able to set aside all my nagging fears. Thank you so much!!!”

“Dr Emmanuel Imevbore is a bundle of passionate energy and an inspirational thought leader. His passion is to add value to people and businesses in a sustainable manner. He simplifies his messages by models and easy to remember acronyms.  He is a man of great intellect and has a massive portfolio of skills – business planning, change management, business development, executive coaching, business process improvement, training and development and strategic planning. He helps individuals identify their purposes in life and develop to their full potential. Excellence runs in his blood, in his quest for people and organisational transformation. His major goal in life which I bear witness and testimony is helping people and organisations achieve their goals of productivity, profitability and sustainability. I observed Emmanuel working with my team in Zimbabwe in 2017 and how he helped transform them through his concepts and insights. The team still applies what they learnt from this great leader!

Jeff Phiri, Formerly Managing Director, DHL, Zimbabwe; Currently, Head of Talent and Development for Africa – DHL Express.

========================================================

Dr Emmanuel Imevbore’s life epitomises what a life/business Coach can be – teacher, counselor, mentor, brother and friend. I have known him for several years, read his books and used his practical workbooks in my business. I greatly admire his ability, character, vision and strong will. He is a man of uncommon integrity and decency. Two thumps up!!
