About Pierre du Plessis
Keynote | Strategy Facilitator | Coach and Co-conspirator
Pierre unravels the secrets behind human behaviour for business strategy. He cares deeply about two things, getting people to become better people and helping them do work that matters.
As the founder of Be Brave, he has more than two decades of experience developing people, building businesses and creating products that matter and has helped scaleups and multi-national businesses design winning strategies.
He’s a sought-after speaker on human dynamics, strategy, and navigating chaos, has spoken on four TEDx stages and has engaged with leading organisations around the globe such as HATCH, Tencent, BP, Alan Gray, FNB, Yum!, and many others.
He has written four books, and received the Desmond Tutu Gerrit Brand Prize for literature in 2018.
Pierre’s talks offer strategic insight with practical applications by combining the latest trends, sociology and behaviour science research with ancient philosophy, literature and the odd hit of pop culture.
All delivered in a conversational style with a healthy dose of humour and tons of storytelling.
