WHY A PROFESSIONAL AFRICA WEBINAR SERIES?
No one saw Covid 19 coming. No one imagined the whole world could shot down over one pandemic. It’s obvious we overrated what we as humans had control over. 90% of Small business Enterprises are suffering the harsh reality of closing down for months. Employees are being relieved of their duties, owners are closing up businesses and are falling into depression. So the question is What Next? How do we move on Post COVID? These are the questions the scheduled series of webinars is here to answer. The APA bi-monthly webinar series LIFELINE, ‘Bridging the Gap to Development’ has been designed to be a ray of hope in this gloomy season. It’s a LIFELINE.
We believe that development starts with
THE INDIVIDUAL (HOLISTIC HEALTH), then goes to THE COMPANY or BUSINESS, then to NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY. Hence, our webinars go in that order.
