MORE ABOUT JEMBA

Why JEMBA?

JEMBA’s guiding principles rest on the foundation that we humans are an intelligent social species primarily characterised by an innate curiosity and endowed with an extraordinary ability to accomplish extremely complex tasks by cooperation.  The ethics, ubiquity, complexity, and importance of cooperation is rarely considered. Yet it governs every aspect of our lives. 

Intelligence, Social, Curious, Able, Accomplish, Complex, Tasks, Ethics, Ubiquity, Complexity, Cooperation.

These matters are beyond our grasp without a deep understanding of

Self, Others, Environment and Organisation.

“JEMBA has benefitted me in many ways, it has given me the opportunity to explore my understanding from topics that are not spoken in the school curriculum and has granted me with knowledge that I will use in my future career. Through this program I was exposed to lessons that will be implemented for a lifetime and tools that can be used to solve problems. These tools have been very interesting, and are going to be very helpful in years to come, it has expanded my learning capabilities and has left me room to think of solutions in any situation I find myself in. I am so privileged to have the opportunity of attending such an amazing course and a journey of knowledge that will for ever be in my mind”.

“Jemba has provided to me a deeper understanding of the workings of the world and given me leverage to change it. It has also given a deeper understanding of myself, why I do what I do, and more power and control of my emotions so that I can achieve my goals and not sacrifice my mental health. I also feel less prone to marketing and understand more about how businesses around me have grown and why the decisions that were made were made and given me a way to think how I would reshape those decisions in my own way”.

“Jemba taught me how to critically think before I make a decision. Jemba taught me to never stay in my comfort zone that’s what the 90% do and that’s why they are where they are. Jemba taught me to think like l belong in the 5% not just an ordinary thinker I think outside the realm and must never limit myself. Jemba taught me how to breath properly different breathing skills because breathing is what makes you stay alive and well and if you know how to breath properly you will live a long durable life. Jemba taught me confidence you can do anything and everything if you just believe in yourself. Having confidence in yourself is the most powerful and important one, if you can think it you can say it and do it”.

“How Jemba Has Impacted me. Jemba has allowed me to open up my once very narrow view on how business operates. Its helped me to realize that business isn't simply just a set of rules on a piece of paper but rather a broader concept that has a lot of aspects that matter more than you'd expect such as appearance, ability to read people and situations instantly, body language and using your insights profile personality traits to your advantage”.
