About Stef
Stef du Plessis is a speaker, workshop presenter, facilitator and intervention leader on People, Culture and Strategy. His impressive track record, spanning two decades, two-dozen countries and over 3,500 successful assignments confirms that he is a resource of choice for business leaders who are serious about results. CEOs trust him to grow their people, develop leaders, build teams, create a winning workplace culture, and turn strategy into results. Event planners rely on him to deliver a star performance, time after time. Stef is the real deal. First off, he is a gifted communicator and a world-class presenter who radiates authenticity, allowing him to connect with people at all levels, across all divides. To the extent that he is able to engage people up to the point where they want to do more, and be more. Then he shows them how, by delivering practical tools and hands-on strategies that really help people to actually implement the change that they desire, while his online resources keep them focused and engaged long after the event. His content is good. With a Masters degree in leadership, he is academically well grounded, while his considerable personal experience as an award winning executive-level leader and successful entrepreneur ensures that his approach is also hands-on and practical. And,having worked extensively with all sorts of organisations, his stuff is relevant, in addition to being real-world-tried-and-tested. He gets results. That's why his corporate clients – including many of the most recognised brands in business today - bring him back to do more work with their people, year after year. Sometimes for a decade or longer. It's also why he is consistently rated as one of the standout speakers at premier conferences. So much so that he has been invited to speak on a number of the world's most prestigious stages, to audiences of up to 10,000 people, translated simultaneously into as many as 18 languages... including the Million Dollar Round Table. This is perhaps the most envied speaker-platform in the world, and Stef has spoken there twice. He has also earned the respect of his peers, borne out by the fact that he has received every available accreditation and award on offer to a South African based speaker, bar one: namely the Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa's highest and most coveted award. He has earned a far greater honour, though, in that it has been named 'The Stef du Plessis Award'. This undeniably demonstrates that his industry peers consider him to be the ultimate role model and that his career is a benchmark case study. Stef does not take on assignments that are beyond the scope of his expertise, and he only accepts invitations to work with a group or speak at an event after making sure that his content and style is a good fit. Which is why he is able to offer a bullet-proof guarantee: he will meet your expectations, or the fee is on him. Period. Here is how Stef can help you to make the most of your people, transform your workplace culture, and make your strategy come alive: EMPOWERING YOUR PEOPLE
When it comes to growing your people, Stef is considered to be an expert in the fields of self-mastery, teamwork and leadership. His philosophy is simple yet sound: strategy only translates into results when your people – at every level – are fully engaged. Through his motivational and inspirational talks, business keynotes, workshops, courses and online resources, he stimulates the development of human potential and facilitates measurable, sustainable change.

Stef helps organisations to improve their bottom-line results by showing them how to better understand and manage their workplace culture through the use of the innovative and ground-breaking Unwritten Ground Rules, or UGRs® concept. Originally created by his Australian-based business partner, Steve Simpson, they have now jointly improved and enhanced the system to a point where clients ranging from SMEs through to global giants, and spanning a very broad spectrum of industries, now consider the UGRs process to be a considerable competitive advantage.
Experience the power of UGRs through a one-hour keynote or a short workshop. Stef also conducts in-house interventions and training programmes, supported by a comprehensive vault of proven online UGRs resources, tools and easy-to-use assessment instruments. The majority of UGRs clients have been working with Stef and Steve for years on end.
