The milestone, is a stellar achievement to a local company with a global reach, having impacted numerous lives during its illustrious journey. Their success lies in the proverbial strength of the threefold chord consisting of a partnership of professional coaches; Andrea Jayatilleke, Jayantha Fernando and Anil Bandara, in addition to a highly motivational team of members and the changed lives of their clients who have allowed themselves to be partnered in their journey of people process and organisational transformation.
