Hi and welcome

This is where you get to know me... and where you can find all you need to know (and then some!) about me, about motivational speaking, and what I have to offer.
Not just my own ramblings... but backed up with a partial client list and their comments.
And if what you are looking for is not here, just ask!

No time to browse?
I know that you're often pressed for time. For a quick overview of why you should book Stef, give me your name and e-mail address and I'll send you the "executive summary" by e-mail

 

Motivating effective people with authentic leadership
Path to personal effectiveness and self mastery

What some really important people have to say

"One of South Africa's most influential motivators."
--- Council on Education in Management.

"One of the world's leading practitioners when it comes to teams and team leadership."
--- Institute for International Research

"Stef’s programmes have nation-building potential.”
--- President Thabo Mbeki, South African Head of State

"Stef du Plessis is an extraordinarily talented speaker. His presentation is inspiring, incisive, intelligent, and enthralling... and I have never had a more enthusiastic response to a speaker from my membership, with absolutely no naysayers or second-guessers. Stef’s presentation is truly unique, to the extent that I cannot do it justice by attempting to describe it here. The most frequent comment I heard was “I didn’t want it (the presentation) to end.” In the company of two other extremely good speakers, both of whom I highly recommend as well, the stand-out performer among the three, the one who drew the most notice, was Mr. du Plessis. Suffice to say that I would invite him back in an instant."
--- Gary Witt, Executive Vice-President, Colorado Telecommunications Association, USA
