Astute Leading 

Janet du Preez packs every one of her presentations and workshops with powerful insight developed over 4 decades of leading. She shares her deep understanding of people and specialist knowledge of engagement and complex problem-solving to challenge, inform, inspire and encourage everyone to lead.

Never in our lifetime has there been a greater need for outstanding leadership and societal impact. Before Covid19, leaders across the globe were fixated on the disruption rolling out with the 4th Industrial Revolution. Little did we know how quickly those changes would seem tame, in light of this complex challenge and the wicked problems it would exacerbate.  

Leaders must be able to understand and navigate indefinite realities, to be able to enroll and deeply engage people across shifting boundaries, to think more critically, creatively, and cross-functionally, and to apply radically new strategic approaches for rapid deployment and scaled growth.  

 As decision-making and response time-frames contract, those who choose to influence will need to be increasingly astute and able to instinctively and intuitively make highly effective choices based on transdisciplinary learning, rooted in a deeply entrenched but constantly emerging way of being, encompassed in the 4 critical androrithms that underpin Astute, Intuitive Leading.  

Janet du Preez helps leaders to navigate the unchartered demands of a rapidly changing and unpredictable world. Never in our modern history has this been more relevant. The company she founded, Engagement Dynamics, offers consulting, coaching, and change design services to support the courageous leaders who are building sustainable 21st-century businesses.  

Janet helps these leaders and companies to optimally engage people and encourage leadership from all supporting their intentions, connecting with them meaningfully, and enabling powerful goal-directed action to tackle the challenges of change, complexity, and conflict which constantly disrupt the status quo. 

Currently completing an MSc in the Management of Innovation and Technology focused on collaborative stakeholder engagement to mitigate wicked problems, Janet's leadership and consulting experience and previous studies in health sciences, psychology, and business have equipped her well to serve her clients in the emerging assaults of a fresh technological revolution and Covid-19.
