Affectus is the leadership transforming company. Last week (20-3-2018) we were invited to share our knowledge with the 100+ grain growers and grain value chain attendees at the ORM GRDC funded Business Update. We had standing room only in our session and Affectus was thrilled to be able to provide some valuable information about #leadership.
