Even though NATS has a strong focus on Christian Leadership programmes, it also conducts regular skills development programmes which include English and IT Proficiency .

Leadership Development

Our leadership development seminars are divided up into three key areas:

● Experiential Leadership: In experiential programmes, participants will undergo a strengths analysis and personality profile, learning about themselves and gaining an understanding of others as well. They will also learn theory of small group dynamics, practical small group leadership skills.
● Foundational Leadership: These seminars cover some of the basic elements of leadership on which we then build the remainder of the workshop.
● Organizational Leadership: These seminars give you the tools and insights to create and implement a strategic plan, manage change successfully and establish a sustainable succession plan for your organization.
