It is a great honour for Sewa Beats that the great Mandingo master drummer and legendary teacher has agreed to become a patron of the company.
The WEF's prestigious Global Leadership Fellows Programme trains future leaders of the world's leading public and private institutions.
Practise What You Preach
Sewa Beats teaches managers how to lead, build and manage teams. The company has dozens of corporate clients who are recognised not only as leaders in their field but also as companies that have advanced managerial competencies. That Sewa Beats is successful and enjoys extraordinary levels of repeat business is due not only to the professionalism and focus of its facilitators but also to its ability to evaluate and re-evaluate its own performance.
Sewa Beats therefore continues to make a serious investment in its own team of facilitators, staff, and consultants. In early November 2006, it took its staff and consultants away for a team building and training weekend in Crans Montana, the Swiss alpine resort.
Before embarking on a full day's skills training, the participants spent a whole day and evening doing experiential and team building exercises. The event was run by Paris-based consultancy Pragmaty. In the best traditions of team building, all the participants were removed from their comfort zones.
In Sewa Beats' terms, this meant that nobody went near a drum. The final exercise was for everyone to cook Thai food for their colleagues - not exactly comfort food for a group comprising West Africans, English, Swiss and Spanish!
