Testimonials

The Five Lens is such a great holistic development tool that I have personally used to increase such a greater awareness of myself and an absolute receptive tool to all the individuals i have been privileged to coach. It really is a People Development tool.

I have been on a long journey working on myself, trying to identify my true strengths and weaknesses and how to manage them. I truly believed that I had obtained a fairly extensive handle and awareness until I was offered the opportunity to do the Five Lens programme.

I was utterly blown away by Five Lens People Development.

This is a comprehensive and in depth programme which offered me a level of appreciation of myself which I had never touched on, presented in a way that was specific and detailed but easy to understand, one of the most enjoyable experiences.

What I loved was the flexibility of not only experiencing this for myself but also to bring this into my organisation. The impact was phenomenally effective for all staff that went through the programme.

Id like to say a special thank you to everyone involved either face to face or behind the scenes, you all made this an unforgettable experience.

5 LENS People Development is doing life-changing work. I can attest to how the 5LENS assessment facilitates insight for the client. The accuracy of the assessment is second to none. Colin, Jennifer, and Retha care deeply about people and they continually provide resources to help facilitators become even more successful.

The course is a must for all businesses and individuals to help people understand themselves better and how they can better function as teams within a business

I have had the privilege of being a certified Five Lens People Development Practitioner since 2016, and recently completed retraining in 2021 for Practitioner and Team Development levels. My trainer and the president of Five Lens People Development, Colin Adam, is truly exceptional. Colin is a longstanding, leading consulting and coaching professional in South Africa, and his expertise and care have been invaluable to me.

Colin and his team at Five Lens have consistently provided outstanding support, holding masterclasses and generously sharing their knowledge and experience. Colin's unique perspective and dynamic teaching style have greatly enhanced the work I do with clients. His commitment to our development as practitioners is evident in everything he does.

I cannot recommend Colin and Five Lens People Development highly enough. If you are looking to deepen your coaching practice and make a meaningful impact, Colin and his team (Retha Van Staden, Jennifer Adam, etc.) are the ones to guide you on that journey.

The Five Lens is a highly effective assessment tool. The insights from the assessment help the coach and client to work as thinking partners at a more profound and transformational level. A coach's reports are excellent support for a coaching relationship and, for the client/coachee, a key to unlocking great depth in self-development and personal growth. I love using the Five Lens assessment tool!

The Five Lens Practitioner Level Certification Course takes you deep into the practical ways of understanding yourself and how you show up to the world, and by extension, the world. The course throws up mirrors all around you to see yourself in how you show up in your world. This is one course that I want to bring into my whole organisation.
