Small Business Awards 2023

Best Corporate Learning & Personal Development Organisation 2023 – South Africa One particularly noteworthy area specialised in by Grow Right Edge Solutions is the securing of recruitment and employment for learners with disabilities. To this end, the company has proudly undertaken an array of interventions in this area, partnering with such multi-national organisations as Hub Parking Technology, Niterra, Bidvest Bank, WSP, Kuehne + Nagel, and Hudaco, to name just a few. When it is not busy implementing large-scale change in industry, Grow Right takes pride in consulting with organisations on vital areas such as corporate culture, strategy, team performance, disability awareness, diversity, equity inclusion, and belonging, successfully bringing companies up to speed with the modern way. What really serves to separate the business from others in the field is its extensive understanding of human behaviour, offering obsessive attention to detail as a result of the company’s status as certified enneagram practitioners as well as master neuro coaches in a broad range of brain integration techniques. It is this unique ability that allows for the nurturing of client relationships that are impactful and sustainable, ultimately inspiring trust from the excellent service and quality delivery that every client is sure to receive. Further driving success is Grow Right’s adherence to its values and overall mission across every element of the business, with these values comprising compassion, creativity, courage, and coherence, and each of these are demonstrated to the highest calibre. Grow Right sees its mission as something more, with Michelina referring to it as a “higher purpose”, one that entails having the courage to take on complex challenges, creatively developing the next generation of connected leaders that will serve to curate a bright future for South Africa. Upon tackling new projects or beginning working with a new client, Grow Right’s strategy is a success-driven one, revolving around its commitment to provide bespoke and personal solutions to clients, as well as transparent communication, in what Michelina calls an “unwavering dedication to excellence.” Any new journey is initiated through the conducting of a comprehensive assessment of needs, thus allowing the company to garner a greater understanding of what unique challenges and expectations the project is likely to hold. From there, clear goals are set, and milestones and objectives are effectively managed to assure clients that things are heading in the right direction. The company’s aforementioned dedication to transparency is paramount and displayed throughout an undertaking, with a clear and open line of communication fostered every time. Aware that circumstances change in this ever-evolving landscape in which we find ourselves, Grow Right remains agile and flexible, underpinning its commitment to building trust by consistently managing client expectations and adapting to changing needs. Moreover, the organisation happily offers post-project assessments, with these empowering the team to refine any elements of its processes that may need adjustment, once more ensuring client satisfaction is achieved across the board. Michelina often tells the team, “We do not chase our competition, we chase impact”, and this ultimately serves as Grow Right’s approach to managing its standing with industry competitors. Nevertheless, it does possess a keen edge that separates it from the rest, and this is the unrivalled breadth and depth which it covers to promote change on both an individual and company level. This, combined with an unmistaken and deep-rooted passion for the work that it does, the clients it has garnered, the one-of-akind team it has nurtured, and the lives it changes, make Grow Right the only viable solution for learning and personal development.
