All Courses – Southern Africa Leadership Academy

Introduction to Strategic Planning

Designed to cover all the fundamentals needed for effective strategic planning. Whether you’re looking to enhance your strategic awareness or refresh your strategic planning skills, this program provides a comprehensive understanding of key concepts and practical tools.

Leadership needed in a VUCA world

Leaders need an understanding of their own strengths and areas for development and the impact their communication and working style has on others. The ability to be authentic and show one’s true self at work is key to building trust.

Project Management

Foundational course that equips learners with essential skills for successful project execution.

Counselling Skills

Counselling skills enable duat and volunteers to recognise when someone needs support and a space to talk; and respond to the person’s needs.

This process is important because it helps field workers to solve their own problems so that they feel less anxious, are able to understand what they are feeling and make appropriate decisions.

We have significantly benefited as community in various ways. These services from Sala provided moral and ethical guidance, promoted unity and cohesion among community members, offered social support networks, and contributed to the overall well-being of individuals. Through religious teachings, people have found solace during tough times, cultivated compassion and empathy, and developed a sense of purpose and direction in their lives. Overall, such services have played a crucial role in shaping the values and beliefs of our community. We thank you Sala

The Southern Africa Leadership Academy (SALA) programme was a transformative experience that equipped me with strategic leadership skills, enhancing my impact in the Bulawayo (Zimbabwe) Muslim Community where I serve as an Imaam. SALA helped me develop effective partnerships, drive community engagement, and foster inclusive decision-making. My organization and the community we serve have benefited significantly from my enhanced leadership capabilities, leading to increased collaboration and social cohesion.
