Manfred Gollent’s Summary

Cutting Edge Human Development
…. because people create results!
We are an organization specializing in cutting-edge human development to elevate potential, drive performance and enlighten humanity. Through our executive coaching, workshops, seminars, keynote addresses and developmental programs, we focus on the specific results you, the client, want to achieve – personally and professionally.
Why “Cutting-edge Human Development”? Two factors…
“Human Development”
The discovery of electricity…the cure for polio…landing on the moon…traveling faster than the speed of sound – these are but a few of the greatest achievements of mankind. Often when we think of these, we place emphasis on the technology associated with these accomplishments. At QLI International, we believe that none of this would be possible without several key human-related factors:
• Inspiration and Motivation
• Purpose and Vision
• Effective Planning
• Effective Alignment of Resources and Processes
• Continual Follow-up and Refinement.
• Integrity and communication
What is it about these things that seem so magical (or, perhaps cliché), yet integral to success? They all point to one source: the unlimited potential that each one of us possess. When we tap into this potential in a focused and deliberate way, amazing things happen.
“Cutting-Edge”
QLI International understands that no two groups or individuals are alike; what works for one may not work for the other. Through continual research and partnerships, we integrate the latest advances in organizational development, industrial psychology and education, aligning with you and/or your organization to produce a program customized to meet your specific objectives.
My passion is Leadership Development, Executive Coaching, Strategy Development and Continuous Improvement. In my capacity I support organizations in their development of organizational skills, change management and strategic planning.
