Colin Dovey

I have been directly involved in meaningful motivation and training at all levels at the Mine Training Centres where I was employed. Once qualified, I rose very quickly through the ranks, initially to the position of Mine Captain and then fairly quickly on to senior level as a Mine Manager.

With regard to Public Speaking, I was an active participant in the Dale Carnegie International environment, advancing to Group Leader. In 1980 I established my own Bulk Chemicals business (Wilco Chemicals (Pty) Ltd), using unique, indeed original approaches to solving underground dust issues.

I have also qualified as a SETA Registered Assessor, which led to my being the Assessor for the marking of assignments for a country-wide Entrepreneurial Training Centre in South Africa.

Subsequently, in recent years, I specialised in privately tutoring individual performance skills, and developing individual career potential, using unconventional methods, including Shadowmatch, Professional Handwriting Analysis, and lecturing/running workshops at Executrain, the Local Chef School, Leeukop Prison and Servest Ltd. I am avidly interested in Rugby, Cricket & Soccer. I was an invited Guest on E-TV, Radio Today, 702 Talk Radio, and Kaya FM, on a variety of subjects.

General observations: Apart from using a range of "people insight" tools, including the well-known "DISC" approach, I have developed an innate ability to weigh up people, and thus recognise their latent, perhaps untapped potential. I have now attained the TEFL Qualification, which opens the door for me to teach English as a foreign language internationally. My long an relevant business experience can also be brought into play here, should the situation require that ability.

With the onset of Covid-19, I have now also enthusiastically embraced the idea of online Tutoring in Maths, addressed primarily at Grades levels 2-9, and using the excellent resources offered by the UK based "Open University." I am continually keeping up with the recent trends – business-wise….a useful addition.

Active Member of the International Scouting Movement……rising to Queen’s Scouts level, and attended the World Jamboree in England as a member of the South African contingent. After the Covid-19 epidemic has run its course, I will again be involved at committee level with the local Scout Groups.
