About Me and what is important to me:
I’m married to my soul mate Rhyna. We like spending time together in the
evening chatting and watching comedy series like Friends, Frasier, Cheers, etc..
Family is important so we visit some part of the family every weekend. We love travelling so we set a goal
annually to travel overseas for holiday.
I’m a keen motorbike rider and we often make time for breakfast runs and annual
trips away with my brother and sister who are also motorbike riders.
I like to read self improvement books for my own continuous growth. I’m not into too much sport as I have
old rugby injuries. Do enjoy my gym
workouts.
On a professional note:
Services Offered as a Professional:
Managing partner of Leadership development – training; assessments; and
transformation processes
Role in the TCG Team:
I ensure the achievement of targets for my LOB; grow customer base; cross-sell
into other LOB’s; develop my consultants; cooperate with admin staff;
and contributing to the overall success
of TCG
The one thing that inspires me and motivates me – that drives my passion:
To become a person in the universe that can make a difference in the lives of
others. I’m inspired by the fact
that I have something to give to the universe and continuously seek ways in
which to do that. If I can get 1
leader in any organisation to become more transformational it will have a ripple
effect. He/She will then influence
their people more positively, the company benefits and the leader’s family.
That’s why I chose to spend my life on leadership development. Influencing one leader at a time I
can fulfil my mission of making a difference in this universe.
My inspirational message to the people of South Africa:
That we unleash the great potential this nation has to rise above our challenges
and become the nation that is free of the chains that bind us as Mandela
indicates in his biography
As the TCG group and in particular the Strategic Consulting practise, offers:
I believe the diverse portfolio we have and the calibre of people are our
competitive capability that can make us a major player in the Human capital
market in RSA. We have to find ways
to strengthen this capability and find ways to convert this into applicable
solutions that leads the market.
Why I work at TCG:
Because I love what I do; and in the environment that is created. It allows me the opportunity to
fulfil my personal mission of making a difference in other’s lives.
I am allowed to think for myself, express my creativity, take
accountability for my own success, and lastly, I enjoy the people I work with.
My biggest goal and dream for the future:
Make TLD a major leadership development player in the RSA market
My biggest challenge, gift and talent to make a difference in this world:
My own passion to continuously enhance myself and leave a legacy of someone who
touched the lives of others through my work in leadership development
Short and sweet:
"If I had a lot of money, I would… initiate research to find alternative
energy sources to protect our planet from perishing and definitely take
deliberate action to enhance the education in our country”
“I will be remembered for…. Always endeavouring to add value and making a
difference in people”
What I value most in life - Growth rather than destruction
My favourite quote:
We must be the change we wish
to see in the world. -
Mahatma Gandhi
As Dewitt Jones put it, “Don’t just be the best in the world, be the best for
the world”
