Brian was engaged to provide coaching and facilitation support at the point when the company began to sharpen its strategy and position itself for stronger growth. With an Africa team of more than 100 Directors across 23 countries there was a need to ensure that every leader had both personal and professional perspective in order to ignite the strategy seamlessly.
With a vast geography to cover and a large senior management team to coach, Brian was the ideal choice. Brian is culturally very aware and is very flexible in his coaching approach based on the country and management context. He builds relationships easily and is intuitive to the company’s needs. As the HR Executive of the company, it was key to find a partner that was both professional and flexible in driving the company’s vision of a stronger and energised Africa senior management team, Brian has managed to do this seamlessly and effectively.

Brian is very knowledgeable and brings a wealth of experience evidenced through the practical examples that he uses to either demonstrate or explain concepts that he is trying to teach. He is very open minded and accommodating and easy to relate to and interacting with him leaves one feeling empowered and inspired to be better and to do better.
He is able to have hard conversations that help one reflect and move past hurdle that stop one from being the best one can be. He is a great facilitator who is always aware of and is able to establish the needs of the people he is training/coaching and this enables him to provide training/coaching that is appropriate and he is always willing the provide any support that is required to see people succeed in their journeys.

Brian Chinsamy via Leap Learning, has provided the following learning programs for the Retail and Business Banking Legal team:
- Accelerated Development program for VP’s -2016
- Accelerated Development program for AVP’s-2017
- Accelerated Leadership development program for newly appointed team leaders- 2017
- Focused coaching sessions for VP’s- 2018
During 2017, the team underwent a leadership transition, during our off site to communicate the changes, we relied heavily on Brian’s expertise to ‘read the room’ in order to advise us on how best to lead the team through the transition. His accelerated development program was instrumental in the team creating the Legalbot, (using artificial intelligence to answer customer queries in real time without having to refer to the legal team), which has enhance customer and colleague experience exponentially.
Having been a part of the organization, Brian has a good understanding of the organization’s strategy and values which ensures that the development programs are aligned with the organizations vision. He is always open to feedback on how best to structure his programs in order to best meet the development needs of the team. In the time when cost saving is a strong focus, I have found the programs cost effective and great value for money.
I whole heartedly endorse Brian’s expertise, professionalism and passion for helping people realise their potential.

I joined Absa on the 15th of February 2017 and was fortunate enough to be under the leadership coaching sessions of Brian soon thereafter. I worked with Brian for about 6 sessions that were 4 hours each. I found Brian’s sessions to be focused and extremely to the points he sought to work on. Central to these were leadership, coaching, mentoring and personality management. Brian was able to extract my personality type and then identify my areas of development. He did so very well by identifying my areas of strength, areas of weakness and areas that I needed to focus on in order to enhance my leadership skills. What was particularly fascinating was how spot on Brian was in identifying my personality type and how I respond to particular situations and challenges. Brain was always subtle but firm in his approach. Brian possesses the special skills of precise communication, Ubuntu, humility and getting the best out of an individual. Brian does in essence, bring out the best in people, or at the very least, does his best to do so.
I continue to use the skills Brian equipped me with and this has made me a better leader and manager. Perfection is impossible but Brain gives one a glimpse of what it is in the world of corporate leadership.
