Why us

What sets us apart? We don’t pretend to have all the answers, nor do we impose our views. Instead, we take pride in partnering with individuals and teams to create practical, effective solutions that lead to better outcomes.

We understand the significance of providing a psychologically safe environment that empowers individuals and team members to delve into unfamiliar and challenging ideas, prompting them to question their expectations and perspectives and discover new insights.

Although we don’t conform to the traditional corporate style, we take our commitments seriously, and ultimately, we firmly uphold the notion that genuine friends are the ones who offer you the advice you need, even when it’s not what you want to hear. Although this approach may not always win us popularity, we consider it our responsibility to address such matters honestly and directly.

Ultimately, no person, tool, or program can achieve results if your mindset isn’t prepared for growth. Therefore, individuals must decide whether to hold on to or let go of their current beliefs that shape their choices.

How

At i2i, we pride ourselves on utilising our global team of industry experts to design content and deliver real and relevant programs that resonate with people.

We’ve moved away from the traditional listen-and-forget training model to embrace an approach that fosters true comprehension and meaningful engagement. This shift enables a deeper and more lasting understanding of the content.

Our programs are infused with practical experience and guided by pragmatism. We carefully craft our offerings to uncover opportunities that empower individuals with the freedom to choose the most suitable paths to progress.

"Derek is prepared to put himself where others want to be but are too scared to go...". The standard "stand and deliver" presentation style has been put to bed by Derek as he seeks, with both visual and verbal alacrity, to, at the most, convince people to change their ways and, at the least, to give them a jolt. He does this with a mix of personal insight and experience, humour and going to where the listeners are".

"I found Derek's keynote inspiring, at times confronting, and very thought-provoking. The key takeaway was the need to work out what was really important in my life and focus most of my energies on it rather than get buried in the day-to-day clutter, which doesn't add value. He had a few people out of their comfort zones as some home truths hit them between the eyes. His use of humour and animated style of delivery also went down very well".
