Feedback on our wordcraft...

Dear Brian, Wow ... an incredible story. Thank you for sending it to me. I never really thought of it in this way ... thank you for opening another door in my life. (See The Program - featured on our Articles Page) Patrick West, Natural Law Party, Colorado, USA. Dear Arthie, Thank you for this. Your and Brian's writings are an inspiration to us all. I have forwarded this to our minister. Love and Blessings to you all. Tony Miller - Businessperson. Durban, South Africa Hi Arthie, This is a beautiful story, which so many of us could learn from. Thank you for making me all the wiser. I will share with my friends and colleagues. Kamlesh Rajoo - Lawyer, Ethekwini Municipality, Durban, South Africa Dear Brian, That was a brilliant piece on scars. So true and the only elastoplast that can heal them, is your own mind. Clem Sunter, International Author and Strategist, Johannesburg, South Africa. Dear Brian, Thank you for this piece! Although food is usually an important part of conferences here - you have shed a whole new light on it for me. This was excellent! We have a cable channel called Foodnetwork that is one of my favorites http://foodnetwork.com/. Not only does it show different styles and venues of cooking, but also many shows are devoted to the history of food. I have never seen a show approach food the way you do here. America gets more diverse everyday, with people, food, and cultures. I think it would be a wonderful program. Thanks for sharing. Dr Cliff Thermer - Connecticut State Troopers CT - USA Dear Brian, Thanks for your lovely note. Even with the daily injustices that you describe, South African is a shining example of what is possible. My hope is that there will come a time in your country and mine where "mixed marriages" are taken in stride. There are pockets here where marriages across races are accepted, and other places where things are far less comfortable. Rick Maurer _ Consultant - USA Providing Change without Migraine (TM) consultation and training. www.beyondresistance.com Good day to you Brian and Arthie, I recently received two e-mails from a colleague who was forwarding some of your stuff to us. The most recent being "Baboons laugh at each other's foreheads" Profound indeed...I sat here thinking "you go Brian!!!!"....What a spirit... May your love be the kind that is blessed with spirituality and that it mellows and matures with age. I would appreciate my name being added to your mailing list and welcome your inspirational emails. Lameesah St. Clair Marks, Chamber ETD Practitioner, Cape Town, South Africa Dear Brian, Top marks - what you say is so true. I really appreciate your writings and your messages. Thank you - and best wishes to all three of you. Brenda Eckstein, Consulant - Durban, South Africa. Hi Arthie and Brian, Thank you for sharing this wonderful article, I think it is great and so true. It is sad that people always only accuse white people of being racists, but as is evident in the article, we are all guilty of judging people. Whether we think that fat people are lazy, disable people are stupid, indian people are .... so forth and so forth. Thank you for keeping me on your email list. I enjoy reading your writings and of course to share these thoughts with people around me. Versha Rowjee, S.A. Breweries - Johannesburg, South Africa Hi Arthie and Brian, All I can say to the article is WOW!!!!. How did you two become so wise? Please teach me! Your account below clearly shows the depth of the love you three share. The respect you have for each other (all three) is remarkable. God Bless!!! Kaamini Reddy, Johannesburg, South Africa

About the Authors' ability in the Workplace Diversity field

Workplace Diversity Testimonials BMW South Africa Celebrating Humanity Workplace Diversity programme - Led by Brian and Arthie Moore of Mthimkhulu International. Delegates' feedback - Day 1 9 April 2003 It made me feel light being able to share my challenges and know that others were willing to help me. Even though we have different cultures, religions, languages and beliefs, we are similar - very interesting. The wonderful way that you present the course, It is so free and helped us to interact with each other. I am learning more today than I ever had because of the way that you create the surroundings to be so peaceful. It is powerful. Respect is the most important thing to give and learn about. This course is very open. People talk. We opened up and communicated. It is very well structured. Everyone is free and relaxed. We are all strangers yet this is the first time we have come together as a lovely team. If the country interacted the way we have today, there will be no anger, conflict or racism. We can all get along with people regardless of what different cultures/religions we come from. I am very nervous and shy generally, now I am relaxed and unstressed and able to open up more. I feel free to communicate. I have never expressed myself like this before. We come from so many diverse backgrounds and religions, but there is only one religion and culture. That is one of love and acceptance and respect. With that, we all will be a powerful team. I now feel comfortable and open enough to get answers from anyone without feeling scared. DAY 2 - 9 April 2003 Verbal Feedback after Lunch What has changed for me? I have learnt how to react to situations according to my assessments of personalities and learning styles and how to handle my anger. I will respect more and won’t hesitate to meet and mix with people of different cultures now. Very relaxing, brings out the true person in you. Seems as if I have known everyone for years. Whatever I want to do in life, I can just go for it . I have learnt more today from all the cultures than I would have from reading books. I have made great friends. It teaches me not to judge a book by its cover. It took you only two days to bring out the best in me. You have shown me how to handle situations, how to be humble yet strong. Just like yin and yang. Yin always triumphs over yang, yet the two cannot be separated. This is brilliant. I am a changed person. When I leave here there will be a few more changes in my personal and work life. I can change, show more respect and see people not as different, but as people. I have really grown. I have always had adjustment problems even in school. I now realise how good a person I am. It is OK to be me. It is cool to be me. Through exciting interaction, we were taught what different personality types are really like. We can’t put people into categories. I was able to understand the people who work under me, better. I received personal advice that I am really grateful for. It has helped me save my personal relationship. It changed my life. It was wonderful to get away from tension and stress. The environment that you created allowed me to learn and understand more than I have ever had the opportunity to before. You and Arthie are a very good team, very successful. You will go a long way. I have watched the both of you this past few days and was impressed. You are both from different backgrounds, yet you respect each other and work well together. If I ever get married, I will keep you both as my example. A lot of fun. I know now how to put fun back into learning and teaching. Good people, great fun in life! Brian and Arthie, if it wasn’t for you two being who you are, you would not have been able to open up 12 lives. I am wiser now. When I get home, I know how to respond not react. You will change many more lives in the future. I am happy to be here, working together with you. I learnt that being able to respect is easy. Every person who attends this course will benefit personally as well in family and work life.

 

Durban Metro Police - South Africa Celebrating Humanity Workplace Diversity programme - led by Brian and Arthie Moore, of Mthimkhulu International. Introduction The purpose off this report is to provide some commentary on the “Celebrating Humanity” workshop which I recently attended. I have decided that my comments will focus on my personal experiences during the course. Day One I was pleasantly surprised when I entered the venue. The balloons, books, photographs and other personal memorabilia served to create a wonderfully festive atmosphere. I was immediately filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement as to what lie ahead in the next three days. The whole day was spent on a journey of discovery. I was impressed by the various activities of the day and the self-discovery that accompanied those activities. Day Two Whilst day one focussed on an introspection of the individual, the importance of teamwork is being manifested. We began with a group of people who did not know one another very well, but are quickly developing into a cohesive unit, which functions as a highly efficient team. I am surprised by the enthusiasm and enjoyment being expressed by all the participants. Each person is actively contributing to their own and other’s development. The diverse pool of knowledgeat our disposal is an obvious strength within the team. The exercises today revealed a genuineness and sincerity amongst all the participants. I found the exercises to be emotionally challenging. I discovered that my previous attitudes and opinions were being altered by this new knowledge. Day Three I felt a trifle uneasy this morning. I realise that this would be the last day of this wonderful experience. During the course of the day we established the “Value Circle”. As a group we decided upon a set of values which we all believed in. This exercise confirmed the fact that we all are people with similar aspirations and value systems. Our diverse cultural composition should enhance our relationships, rather than fragment them. I also realised that this was not a once exercise, but rather a life-changing experience. The “Value Circle” was established to assist us to grow in our new found knowledge. Furthermore, the agreed upon values would continue to regulate future behaviour and interaction with others. Conclusion This has certainly been a life changing experience. Brian and Arthie Moore add a new dimension to the concept of team building. I was most impressed by their genuine sincerity, knowledge and unique style. I am also impressed by the fact that each participant is assured of continuous support and encouragement, from the presenters. I felt that the presentation was extremely dynamic and catered to the needs of the participants. My overall impression is that the presentation was professional, the facilitators are experts in their field and this has certainly been one of the best team building exercises, which I have attended. Thank you - InspectorAshley Dove - Durban Metro Police 23/11/2002

 

Sagren Reddy 1 day Public course. Celebrating Humanity Workplace Diversity programme - Led by Brian and Arthie Moore of Mthimkhulu International. Never before have I seen such togetherness and willingness of people from different cultures and backgrounds to participate openly with love and understanding on issues relating to humanity. I was able to express my innermost feelings to total strangers sitting around a table. I was fascinated by the different languages and cultures that the delegates came from. Ideas flowed freely and my colleagues drew great vigour and energy when answering questions from the floor. Sagren Reddy - IT Manager Waltons - KZN

 

ESKOM Ltd - Johannesburg, South Africa. Celebrating Humanity Workplace Diversity programme - Led by Brian and Arthie Moore of Mthimkhulu International. Day 1 - Delegates' Feedback: Everybody was stiff in the morning. Now there is no stiffness, everything is fluid. Absolutely amazing team building. Took away the facades and the racism. Made us look at each other as human beings. Incredible. Eye opener. Made me accept that I am different, but I can be respectful to all cultures. Wonderful to find out that there is more to people that meets the eye. Different perspectives on how to approach our manager. How to approach different people to achieve different results. Learnt more about personalities. What made me happy, was to not judge others, praise more and be more sensitive to others. Not crush them with the negative. Amazing. I got to create friendships with people I would not normally meet. We need to take time to learn other people’s personalities and not just judge them. It helps me to motivate them better. Very good team building. Taught us how easy and fast it is to break down barriers and unite as a team. I am happy because I’ve learnt how to work with other people to bring the good stuff out.

 

Public Course What was interesting for me on a personal level was that, I experienced a feeling of genuine comradeship that had entered into the group (Not the superficial type that is generally expected and synonymous with this type of workshop).I left feeling a sense of inspiration and motivation. What also appealed immensely to me were the Accelerated learning techniques that were employed in the workshop. These included a variety of learning 'experiences' linked to physical activity and fun, and these served to create an atmosphere where learning took place in a 'fun' and effective way. Thank you for a wonderful day Kind regards, Adila Moosa - Learning Solutions Consultant - East Coast Region First National Bank Learning - South Africa WHEN EXCELLENT IS AVAILABLE, GOOD IS NOT ENOUGH

 

Public Course What I like about you------------That you both Celebrate Humanity in a pure sense and that you WILL make a difference What can you do for me-------- Keep reminding me that it is "up to me" and that every little gesture and action will begin to bring down the walls. What can I do for you------------ Remember what I have learnt today and continue to practice"Celebrating Humanity" I would like to thank you both for THE most wonderful day and to tell you that the experience has left me with a sense of joy that if each one of us in our wonderful "Rainbow nation" takes the time to really get to know and understand the traditions and cultures that make this such an exciting country to live in, we truly will become a nation to be envied. I look forward to expanding the new friendships made today. Regards - Luanne Schmidt - Terry Zietsman Consulting, South Africa.

 

Public Course I thank you for a very relaxed approach to contributing to building a better South Africa for all us. The commitment to change cannot be done through lip-service but concrete programmes like yours which can include all. Keep up the good work. Nick Montso First National Bank - South Africa.
