The Role of Social Media in Business (12/02/2021): https://www.cometsa-goc.com/events/16629/ ;we are living in the era of social media and many
other technologies within the realm of the 4th industrial revolution. Social Media technologies and platforms are no longer nice to haves. There are
new protocols on how to engage with social media for both private and business purposes. The regulators are also becoming tougher on their use and
are including them in information regulation policies. During this workshop we want to encourage the users of social media technologies and platforms
to be more familiar with them, not to fear them, and learn the do’s and don’ts. We will work on real life cases to highlight the challenges and
opportunities presented by social media technologies and platforms. NB: Should you be interested in attending The COMETSA PMS LEKGOTLA

Development of Internal & External Mentorship Programme (05/03/2021): https://www.cometsa-goc.com/events/internal-external-mentorship-
programme/ ; it is almost a given that every person will one way or another be exposed to mentorship of some sort. This will be either internal or
external mentorship programme. We will discuss the steps in establishing a formal internal mentorship progarmme, and how to engage/integrate
external mentors into your organization’s human capital development portfolio. We will during the workshop role play the mentorship session to create

Public Relations and Communications (09/04/2021): https://www.cometsa-goc.com/events/public-relations-and-communications/ ; whether the
organization is experiencing good or bad times, it will always be in need to communicate with its stakeholders. Public Relations and Communications
function is critical for the reputation management of any organization. We want to use the workshop to drill deeper into the intricacies of this
profession. We will investigate the characteristics of a good public relations and communications professional, the required experience, and
qualifications. And lastly how to integrate the Public Relations and Communications function into the Operating Model of an organization. NB: Should

Conducting Business Consulting as an Enterprise (07/05/2021): https://www.cometsa-goc.com/events/business-consulting-as-an-
enterprise/ ; many professionals, almost without exception, when they retire, they become business consultant. There is advantage in being
intensional about starting a business consultancy rather than waiting for the day when one retires and then defaulting into business consulting. This
means that one decides upfront that they want to establish business consulting as an enterprise. The workshop will discuss in details the logical steps
to be followed when establishing a business consultancy enterprise. We will share experiences, do’s and don’ts. NB: Should you be interested in

Youth Development and Empowerment Interventions (18/06/2021): https://www.cometsa-goc.com/events/youth-development-and-
empowerment/ ; this society that does not create the spaces and opportunities for its youth to be active in its economy will fall behind the others in the
world. Youth development and empowerment initiatives cannot be viewed as favours given to the youth. They are necessary to secure society’s
growth. The workshop will explore various models of youth development and empowerment, interrogate our own national model, and recommend any
adjustments to better our programmes. NB: Should you be interested in attending The COMETSA PMS LEKGOTLA Network Session on the same

Business Strategy Facilitation (09/07/2021): https://www.cometsa-goc.com/events/business-strategy-facilitation/ ; this is a specialist topic in the
business consulting sector. Business strategy development facilitators are often graduates of their own early choices and consulting work. We want to
learn from the practitioners on how they became specialists. If positioning and selling business consulting is difficult, it must be much harder to do that
for the business strategy facilitators. But we believe that nothing is impossible as long as there are experts who are prepared to share their lessons.
This is exactly what this workshop aims to achieve. NB: Should you be interested in attending The COMETSA PMS LEKGOTLA Network Session on

Women Development and Empowerment Interventions (13/08/2021): https://www.cometsa-goc.com/events/women-development-and-
empowerment/ ; women are the most underrepresented and underutilized resources in all the societies of the world. There is no justifiable reason for
this anomaly as more girls are graduating from the universities and colleges. It has been demonstrated many times that transformation aimed at
changing the representation levels of women in our economic sectors will not happen on its own. We see this workshop as one of the many
interventions in our country to constantly challenge the society on this matter. But we also want it to be an inspiration for those women who are few
out there in our economic sectors to push harder and support the processes of opening the opportunities for fellow women. Men’s interest and efforts
are also sought after. The workshop is not exclusively for women. NB: Should you be interested in attending The COMETSA PMS LEKGOTLA

Diversity Management and Inclusion Programme as an enabler of Transformation(24/09/2021): https://www.cometsa-
goc.com/events/16636/ ; Diversity Management and Inclusion is a universal programme no one organization or society can ignore. Irrespective of
whether the organization is trading in national or international markets, it will always be diversity challenges of some sort. Individuals, organizations
and the community at large must develop physical and emotional capacity to engage with diversity and inclusion issues. This is more so when the
organizations are operating across borders. This workshop appeals to all organizations, individuals and communities that have diverse teams and are
interested in benefiting from the strength that comes with such diversity. NB: Should you be interested in attending The COMETSA PMS LEKGOTLA

Governance, Compliance, and Ethical Business Practice (22/10/2021): https://www.cometsa-goc.com/events/governance-compliance-and-ethical-
business-practice/ ; we must never forget that the organizations we lead and/or work for are independent legal entities with the right to sue and to be
sued. Our actions represent these entities and we have a duty to comply with all the laws, rules and regulations that govern them, and us. It does not
matter the level at which you function in the organization. We can become individually liable for our actions and non-actions. We want this workshop to
equip the participants with the detailed requirements that must be complied with at all costs. Rather than fearing these laws, rules and regulations we
must learn and embrace them. This goes far as becoming experts in governance, compliance and ethical business practice. NB: Should you be

Entrepreneurship and Small & Micro Enterprises Development(19/11/2021): https://www.cometsa-goc.com/events/entrepreneurship-and-small-
micro-business-development/ ; the future of the national and international economies is dependent on the progressive development of
entrepreneurship, especially the accelerated growth of small and micro-enterprises. This will always remain relevant. It cannot be ignored. This
justifies a never-ending drive to introduce and run entrepreneurship,small and micro-enterprise development programmes. This workshop aims to
address this objective. NB: Should you be interested in attending The COMETSA PMS LEKGOTLA Network Session on the same theme the next

Professional Public Speakers Development (03/12/2021): https://www.cometsa-goc.com/events/professional-speakers-forum-concept-
development/ ; the professional public speaking sector is growing at different levels from country to country. In South Africa this is a small sector, but it
certainly attracts global speakers, mostly by big corporates. The limitation is the costs of bringing international speakers into the country. The local
professional speakers tend to focus more on motivational public speaking than technical public speaking. Our workshop aims to create the awareness
and the understanding of howbroad this sector could be. We will also focus on the technical expertise that enthusiasts need to acquire and develop to
contribute to the sector. NB: Should you be interested in attending The COMETSA PMS LEKGOTLA Network Session on the same theme the next
