Want interns contributing faster and coping better under pressure?

Don’t miss out on this development opportunity for your graduate interns or early‑career graduates — or someone you’re currently managing or mentoring.

📍 Zwartkloof Adventures (near Bela‑Bela, Limpopo) Zwartkloof Adventures

Includes a StrengthsMultiplier™, plus an immersive learning experience in a safe and distraction‑free environment.

Why this matters for early‑career outcomes:
- Faster time‑to‑productivity through clearer self‑awareness and intentional strengths use

- Better communication, collaboration, and accountability
- Greater clarity around career direction and navigation

“I wish I understood my strengths and how to use them earlier in my career…”
This is just a sample of the feedback from our coaching, team workshops and leadership development programs. Witnessing these lightbulb moments never grow old, no matter where participants are in their journeys.

It has been our vision to also develop future leaders before they enter the world of work or entrepreneurship ever since we partnered with and certified to deliver Get Thrivin People Acuity, Inc development solutions.

We often travel past Zwartkloof Adventures excellent facilities where they host popular school sports camps and accommodate learners for adventure, orientation and leadership events – to name but a few. We engaged with them and quickly discovered a mutual passion for youth development. The passion turned into excitement when we shared our 'UNLOCKIT – The Power of Strengths Use' workshop program for young people.

Zwartkloof Adventures set aside two weekends in their 2026 schedule to host programs for:
• Grade 10 – 12s
• Students, interns and gap year youth
We are fortunate to find a partner in Zwartkloof Adventures that shares our vision. We look forward to the two weekends and the lightbulb moments. 💡

Last week HCBsolutions concluded the transformational People Acuity, Inc Interdependent Leadership program for the operational support team at EOHCB EOHCB National.

Although a touch sad to see off this wonderful group of people who were all clearly committed, it was immensely rewarding for Liezel Pheiffer Blignaut and Tinus van der Merwe to have witnessed their personal growth and hear about the shifts over the 14 weeks.

Interdependent leaders know how to positively influence others and leverage the power of every team members’ strengths for improved relationships and results. This was only the start of their journey ...

Something magical happens when people from different organisations and countries come together to learn and grow, and are committed to develop themselves as leaders.
Not often that we do an open enrolment People Acuity, Inc leadership program, but always nice if we do.
