My biography:

Internationally acknowledged corporate trainer, management consultant and clinical psychologist Lance Bloch, 
MD of Lance Bloch & Associates for the past 8 years is a strong all-rounder. 
He is a former Junior Mayor of Cape Town, South Africa, an international hockey player, and has had poetry and prose 
published in various magazines. He has often appeared in the media, locally and internationally, from interviews on CNN, 
American Public Broadcast Radio and several leading South African TV and radio programmes and channels,
to articles on him and his work in Agence France Presse and most South African newspapers and many magazines. 
He also has written articles for many newspapers and magazines.  

My qualifications/achievements:

To start off with Lance is a clinical psychologist and has had the rare distinction of being recognised both locally and 
internationally for his work, having being named one of the winners of the Junior Chamber International
“Four Outstanding Young South Africans” Awards in 1995, and “The Outstanding Young Person of the World” Honouree in 1996, 
for the barrier-breaking, reconciliation and community building work he has done in South Africa, 
including for the integration of previously violently opposed military forces.

Bloch is in high demand for his skills and experience in organisational development and training, 
being recognised as one of the foremost consultants in South Africa and, increasingly, internationally
(he has addressed and facilitated groups in Canada, the USA, the UK, Austria, France, Namibia, Zambia, 
Zimbabwe, Botswana and at international conferences abroad and in South Africa), in the areas of 
Team-Building, Diversity, Leadership Development, Personal Development and Coaching, Change Management 
and Transformation and mine safety compliance.

In addition, both corporate and government, from shop floor to top management, rate him highly for his innovative 
experiential training and assessment methodology.  He works both indoors, and is well known for his exciting 
outdoor programmes, as well as for his ability to build powerful workplace communities.  He was team psychologist 
to the South African Rainbow Team in the International Raid Gauloises, the toughest race on earth, and credited with 
the fact that they had by far the best team spirit of 47 international teams.

He was recently Senior Consultant in a major transformation project, Project Vuka, for 8 500 employees of 
First National Bank Metro. In addition, of late he has been working on a highly successful safety and team-building project 
on coal mines in Mpumalanga province for 1000’s of employees and managers at all levels.

He is currently on the Board of the newly established Greenleaf Centre for Servant Leadership in southern Africa, for which he is Training Director.

He has been a highly praised keynote speaker at recent conferences in South Africa and the UK and also presented in the USA, on 
“Servant leadership in South Africa: Lessons for the World”.

What I do best:

Lance spesialises in team-building exercises and workshops which deal with leadership development, diversity/cross cultural work and change management.
While most team-buildings increase the level of "pseudo-community" but merely paper over the cracks. I have had spectacular success in bringing about real and lasting positive change
in orginisations by dealing with any underlying conflicts and ensuring that the learning is transferred back to the workplace.
This in turn adds ongoing value and increased productivity.

What some people have to say about me:

"Not just another workshop, but the basis for living and working together with understanding and common purpose."
Deon Botha, Financial Manager, Protective Packaging

"Lance Bloch must be one of the leading facilitators for change management. All our participants only had good things to say about him. I would not hesitate to recommend Lance to anyone."
Colin Oxley, Managing Director, Lafarge Aluminates Africa 

"An eye opener. Very worthwile. Not to be forgotten. I'm sure it will help me in the future to resolve conflict in the workplace and socially."
Isabel Donaghy, Managing Director, Protective Packaging

"The challenge of diversity workshop was thought-provoking, opened my eyes, humbled me and broadened my horizons. The dynamic facilitators guided a diverse group very sensitively. I now feel much more hopeful about the future."
Nicky White, Marketing Manager

"The Leadership Development Programme for senior staff in the Greater Johannesburg Transitional Metropolitan Council was an invaluable experience for delegates. Having participated in the workshops myself, I can personally say that it was a rewarding experience and one which I thorougly enjoyed."
Prof. Nicky Padayachee, CEO, Greater JHB TMC
