On Robin E Pullen |
Robin has played an integral role in the development of our people over the past 5 years. Through his superb participation skills and his contagious passion/enthusiasm, he and his team are able to bridge the divide between management and labour. Their processes help empower good working relationships by creating opportunities for better communication through fun and informative facilitation. JOHN-STANDISH WHITE, executive committee member, Anglo Coal South Africa [ then regional general manager of Goedehoop Colliery (a Anglo Coal flagship), a large coal mining complex in Mpumalanga, South Africa.]
Thank you for facilitating one of the most rewarding workshops I've participated in. Obviously, the group dynamic plays a part in how a workshop functions, and this particular group interacted very well together, I thought. This is the first time we have had so much positive feedback from any of the facilitated workshops. However a lot of the credit goes to the facilitator, Robin Pullen and his dynamic team...who is able to focus the attention of the group and to steer discussions and activities in useful directions. Thanks for a wonderful job. Francisca Strauss FRANCISCA STRAUS, Chief Director, IA2, The Enterprise Organisation

Robin has been one of the key role-players in the success of our people mobilization interventions during the last three years. Through his excellent management ability and passion for what he does, he is able to offer the flexibility and leadership, required to accurately interpret the needs of the organization, providing a quality, value add product. One of the most significant contributions being the willingness to make time to build close relationships with all stakeholders.
Over and above the sound working relationship, Robin provides excellent client service and has an amazing ability to respond and deliver on changing requirements at very short notice. He is always willing to walk the extra yards for the client, most clearly demonstrated through the vital role he played in assisting Driefontein Gold Mine, design and develop its process for implementing leading practice and behaviour change, to combat Fall of Ground accidents... Robin is extremely competent in the field he has chosen to operate, and brings great value to the table, not only within the areas for which he is contracted, but is always providing advice and guidance wherever he feel he can." DENIS McDOUGALL, Gold Fields business and Leadership Academy, Training Manager - Mining
I am writing to both endorse and recommend Robin Pullen as a provider of Corporate Development events to any organisation in South Africa. The best measure of success for me was to observe the different characters that evolved throughout the course and how you and your fantastic team of facilitators, worked with us to get the best out of each individual. My colleagues have been laudatory in their comments, and have achieved the overall objective of the event as well as having fun along the way. You brought a strong feeling of teamwork and purpose to the group and gave us an invaluable insight as to how to behave and how we can capitalise on our capabilities in the future. MARLIE JOUBERT, the Department of Trade and Industry
On training, speaking and facilitation |
Robin, firstly I want to thank you for your professional input in the FOG project. A lot of work, blood, sweat and tears went into that project. What I have learned from you, is the fact that no matter how tough things got, you had the ability to calm the situation down, and always come up with good new ideas. As a person, you are a great speaker and facilitator. I have always enjoyed listening to you, the way you approach people, using good structured sentences and being a great motivator. I really enjoyed the countless teambuilding “games” that we “played”, and I can truly say that we are still benefiting from them. LIONEL REESBERG (ETD Superintendent), Driefontein Gold Mine, Gold Fields Limited, South Africa
On team building and facilitation |
I would like thank Pumalo Africa for showing that a different approach can change others opinions and attitudes. I would also like to thank you for your part in this as well as all the other managers that were willing to participate as if we were all on the same level. That means a lot. ELIZE LE ROUX, The Enterprise Organisation
Thank you so much Robin for...the team building. I was personally so encouraged and I am clinging to the words which state that one should be the change they want to see. Sometimes it takes somebody (else's) action for one to realize that (we) have imperfections as well. I believe it was worth it and it's up to an individual to take it or leave it. It reminds me of a scripture which states that' God has put before us life and death but choose life' , always reminding us that the will to live righteously is up to us. ...It was really time to do some introspection, I really appreciate it. ASANDA MASWINYANENG, the Department of Trade and Industry
Thanks for the wonderful, exciting teambuilding we had. It was real fun. MANGI KEKANA, The Enterprise Organisation, the Department of Trade and Industry
