Year-end News from the CEO’s Desk 2018

What another year of firsts 2018 has been!

We boldly chose #TheGreatnessEffect campaign and had no idea the impact this would have or what it would take to bring it, to experience it and to become it. It has been a year of lessons learnt and taught, a year of owning our truth, accepting our vulnerabilities and digging deep to discover our very own Greatness. It has been a year of working relentlessly to change the story and to becoming #TheGreatnessEffect. We knew then that Greatness is a doing word and so, we did!

In all the actions we’ve taken, the messaging we’ve sent out, the media coverage and publicity we gained; the amazing number of projects we initiated and have successfully concluded, the accolades achieved and the records we made then broke again – it’s been a BIG and impactful year for the company and for our people.
To our loyal and respected clients, we thank and honour you for running this marathon with us and for experiencing many of our firsts with us. You are, and remain an integral part of #TheGreatnessEffect and we could not have done it without you. Watch Lyn’s reflections on 2018 here
