Today, Tony focuses primarily on developing Life Masters International Team Building, a successful Corporate Team Building and Personal Transformation, leadership coaching and staff/customer development company, that designs and delivers leading-edge emo-energetic transformational encounters and life changing teamwork events.
Being a hands -on leader and coach, Tony Dovale has always been directly involved in the general day-to-day running of all of his companies, from reception and accounts, to workshops and marketing.
His expertise encompasses IT/computers and advanced communications technologies including LAN, WAN and Web technologies from initial consulting to design, implementation training and support, Voice Processing, Fax-on-Demand, Audiotex, Satellite and WEB based streaming systems.
His IT foundation comes from his Computer Programming training with Van Zyl and Pritchard in Cobol and then working with NEG - National Employers General Insurance in Computer Systems Analysis and design, with Cobol and RPG2.
Tony joined a local IT company, Olivetti, and then later Nikuv Computers, where he sold Olivetti and DEC/Vax equipment. When the IBM PC and the Olivetti M20 and M24 were launched in South Africa, he joined Microness, a local computer retailer as a founding partner.
Tony launched the first Microness PC Franchise in Rissik Street, Johannesburg, where he dealt will all the local PC suppliers and also imported their own PC equipment to suppliment supplies.
From there Tony Dovale started Network Interface Consultants (NIC), an IBM System Center Dealership, with a partner, which enabled him to go through an extensive range of IBM's in-depth technical systems training, as well as their world-class sales training system.
This training ranged from local and wide-area Networking, Mainframe Communications, Operating Systems, Business Management, Sales and Marketing coaching.
As an IBM System Center Dealership in South Africa, they installed local and wide area systems (Novell, OS/2, Windows). Some of their esteemed clients were De Beers/Anglo, Liberty Life, Investec Bank, Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, Adcock Ingram, Boart, Mackintosh Latilla, Carrier & Lang (MLCL) and Radio 702.
During this time Tony set up the NIC training/coaching division using "Accelerated Learning" and Coaching techniques (the use of NLP, Music, pictures, visualisation, Appreciative Enquiry/Coaching and the Modular CALM learning system), to provide technical and sales training on Novell, IBM, Microsoft products, Networking, Lans & Wans products and services.
This proved to be extremely successful and very rewarding process.
The importance of Human Potential Development became very clear to Tony during this period and he shifted his focus to the various Personal Transformation and Coaching methodologies, available for the development and empowerment of staff and management alike.
In 1994, Tony was a co-founder, instrumental in setting up, and running, CANI Community Radio 98.7FM radio. Tony headed it's media sales department, and had daily 60 minute radio show called the "Now Factor".
As a community station they generated an average of around R150,00 to R180,000 per month in media sales and sponsorships. Cani was one of the most professional and viable community stations in South Africa.
Tony was also instrumental in re-launching Bop Broadcastings’ media sales where, as an outsourced Media brokerage, he grew their monthly sales income for 5 channels (3 Radio & 2 TV) from R112,000 per month to almost a R1 million a month within 6 months.
They were also responsible for extensive media placement for Earnest Angley and the video production and daily placement for UCKG (Universal Church).
Through, Win Media Group (WMG), he was primarily responsible for production and media placement for the BOP Aids education project
- "Get Aid-ucated".
Over the years Tony has been involved with research, development, promotion, coaching and presentations for Sportron, SureNET, AMWAY, IMEC, “It's So Simple” and Juvio and a host of other innovative referral marketing companies.
More recently he owned the sole media brokerage (Adquest) for the British airways, in-flight magazine - Upfront. He's also had numerous IT and Tech articles published in UPFRONT (British Airways) magazine.
Today, Tony keeps himself up to date on all of the leading
-edge human performance, leadership, self-development and coaching technologies, healing, growth, people development and global trends, along with the ever developing IT and staff engagement technologies.
Tony's day-to-day primary focus is on Life Masters - Life and Business Coaching, along with REAL team-building, profit/ sales enhancement through staff & client engagement strategies.

During this time, over the last 22 plus years, Tony has been closely involved in referral Marketing organisations as they launched in South Africa. These include Sportron, Surenet, Amway, It's So Simple, Juvio, Skybiz, IMEC and Balltron, Tianshi.
It was during these times that he got to a very good insight and understanding of the power, problems and opportunities inherent in these systems and the true power of the Human Element
Tony's work in Human Potential Development has come to the fore, as the importance of addressing the emo-energetic aspects of people in business is being realized.
His concept of “Emotionetics” is becoming popular among companies such as ESKOM, Sasol, Hardware Distributors and Rennies Travel, Semble
-it, and Lafarge, Department of Water affiars, Office of the Public Protector, Coke Cola South Africa..
With extensive hands on experience, he is able to relate to all staff members with empathy, understanding and a wealth of personal insight.

Tony is a self-proclaimed adrenalin junky with his love of paragliding, hockey and competitive deep-sea angling and water sports.
He also loves engaging with technology and the internet search engine spiders to create more awareness of what he does as he travels through this incredible adventure we call LIFE.
