Just before we all went on the December holidays last year (2021), the SIOPSA and COMENSA management team met virtually to celebrate the signing of an agreement. The intention to collaborate acknowledged a desire on the part of COMENSA and SIOPSA to communicate and work together for the development of Coaching and Mentoring. Both parties recognise that the two organisations share a mutual interest and seek to establish ways in which the two organisations can collaborate.
“The link between SIOPSA and COMENSA is highly valued because the two organisations operate in different yet complementary contexts allowing both to learn from one another”, says Mokadi Max Mathye, President of COMENSA. Both societies in their professional capacities share a similar purpose and values and can collaborate in areas of research and knowledge development. This can extend to a focus on leadership development to support business and economic growth and also to a high standard and quality of coaching and mentoring for its members.
“We are looking forward to collaborating with COMENSA in the coaching space. This is an exciting partnership with potential to develop areas of research, knowledge development and business contribution” says Prof Crystal Hoole, SIOPSA President.
By signing this agreement, COMENSA and SIOPSA lay a solid foundation for further discussion regarding the future association between the two organisations.
