OUR PHILOSOPHY

All people can be leaders provided they make their unique contribution at the right time and in the right place, and allow others to do the same. Leadership is the art of knowing when to bow, when to stand tall and when to dance with others. It is a fact that leaders do not always lead from the front. In the workplace, therefore, leadership training is not meant only for top and mid-level managers but for every member of the team. In schools, leadership training is very effective for all learners in order to acquire "soft skills" to promote cooperation and the knowledge of their unique leadership situations where they should step up. Everyone has a sphere of influence.

Leaders know where to stand

There is an idiom about the highest trees catching the most wind. That is true! Leadership always entails challenges and resistance. When the tree is, however, planted in exactly the right spot, the wind actually makes it stronger.

THE TALL TREES PROFILES

Boxwood Trees - planned and punctual - are the quality controllers. They believe there is one right way to do everything and they strive to follow it. They are thoughtful and sensitive and prefer advance notice of changes. Like pruned trees, they can be molded to perfection.

Pine Trees - peace-loving and patient - are usually introverted and all about team and family harmony. They are content to let others go first and take the risks. They will be steady co-workers who provide safe places and listening ears. Like nature's pine trees, they provide shade.

Palm Trees - playful and positive - are jovial individuals with a love for people and the exciting opportunities life offers. Usually extroverted, they are the life of the party and the out-of-the-box entrepreneurs. Like palm trees in Hawaii, they are a picture of good times.

Rose Bushes - prickly but productive - are born pioneers who tend to lead the way their way. Fast, independent and determined, they ensure that nobody stagnates. Their roses are proof of their achievements, while their thorns represent their painful honesty.

Tall Trees never puts people in a box! Every individual is made up of a unique blend of the four tree types to render one of 14 Tree Type Profiles. In the three dimensional approach of the Tall Trees Profile Tests, it means that there are 14 x 14 x 14 possible outcomes! Only 1 in every 2744 people will receive a Tall Trees signature that looks like yours.

TESTIMONIALS

How Tall Trees impact teen's lives

I was introduced to TTLP a couple of years ago and even though I did not know it at the time, the unique way that it explained my "complex" personality was a start to dealing with a lot of personal things/issues that I just did not understand. This became even more valuable later on when I realised how much children without fathers lack identity and how brilliantly this programme can help them with that. I love the training and feel that every person should make the investment to get their profile done, every company or business should invest in this to get a better understanding of their employees and have a better workforce - which will ultimately lead to a better society.

Husband is motivated to work on his marriage

Things that I learned and that stood out for me from this Tall Trees Marriage course: - I learned a lot more about myself and know why I am thinking the way I am. As a Palm Tree, the nail was hit on the head by describing my character and I have learned how to nurture my weak points and strengthen my strong pionts according to God;s will for my life. - I have learned that my wife is not always just spitefull. Everything I like, she doesnt', everything I want, she may not. What makes me happy doesn't make her happy. We are extremely different but now we can start working on how to compromise to consider one another. It was amazing to realise that even though we are all so different in so many ways, we all have just as important a role in God's kingdom and no one is more important or better than the other. Most of all, I am motivated to pray for my wife and our marriage.
