OUR STORY
We believe that we can't go back to normal, normal wasn't working.

We believe that we can't go back to normal, normal wasn't working.
In an attempt to make a difference we wanted to provide an addictive learning experience, at a revolutionary price, that leaves a lasting impact. Fuelled by our belief that small actions and passionate people can create a big change. Current learning experiences are typically expensive, outdated and with people from the same backgrounds.
Yet, we wonder why nothing changes?
We believe that we can't go back to normal, normal wasn't working.
We believe that we can't go back to normal, normal wasn't working.
Being Olympians, Entrepreneurs and Leadership Development experts, we decided we had to create something better. We believe that to be a leader, you don’t have to be the CEO or superstar entrepreneur... All of us are born with unique talents and it’s those that have the courage to share, regardless of obstacles and the fear of the unknown, that become leaders.
Hence we created an alternative.

"The Unthink experience was an impressive blend of intense and very practical application of leadership development, combined with the opportunity to share and learn from a globally diverse group of curious business leaders, founders, Olympians and change makers. That curiosity catalyses change, and the diversity of thought helped to reframe how I approach challenges for myself, career and organisation. Building a strong network of champions and advocates for the work you are doing is key to success. This is something every entrepreneur must continue to find new opportunities to do and is a wonderful by-product of the Unthink programme."

"Throughout my career I have joined a lot of different training and career development programmes, but nothing with the practical application of learning that Unthink provides. This programme is unique, and right now with everything that is going on in the world, is exactly what we need today. The diversity of the people on the Unthink programme and its ability to cut across; sectors, titles. job roles and experiences, was incredible! Everyone was connected by wanting to unthink and to do more and make an impact."

"The Unthink programme was an inspiring and wonderfully challenging experience for the Grootbos Foundation team. In a strange locked-down time, requiring a sudden adaption and reliance on a more digital world, the ideas, friendships and opportunities unlocked by 'unthinking' together with people who were previously unreachable on the other side of the world, was amazing! The power of sharing the experience with others, pushing ideas, and bouncing off one another, was hugely uplifting; and reminded us that while we may be far apart, and lead different lives, in different countries, our goals and thoughts align for a common good."
