Looking for a dynamic person to bring to SA

Hi there, I am looking to bring a speaker out to South Africa. Pref someone who is quite known for their work, who have written a book that can be promoted and has a lot to offer. We were thinking someone in Business but we need something / someone different - something with a breath of fresh air - IE no "Deepaks". Either a dynamic futurist or a business man/woman come mystic....Someone, if promoted would get a phenomenal reaction...

I would love to hear everyone's ideas. One person we have thought of was Guy Kawasaki...Any ideas guys and girls?

I like this posting!

You should contact Frithjof Bergmann, he is an Philosophyprofessor developing a new kind of workingculture, helping people to find their calling and provide their own living with high technology, he is working in projects in south africa already. url: http://www.newwork-newculture.net

Well there are few strains to the lineage I suppose. Yes most certainly Hermetic. Some of the premises come from a Man called Robert Fritz. A composure who deconstructed creating and presents some wonderful ideas. And then there is of course just Williams’s contribution, which comes from his experience, continued study, and a few years of facilitating now. I first met him many years ago when he was just starting out. He has developed a solid program and continues both in his personal and professional life to create what he wants. He walks his talk.

It is the same work that I explore. Teach and am writing about. Be well brother and keep in touch.

Am a big fan of magic - In the ancient sense of the word ;) What was your experience with him? Is it Hermetics / Toltec or basically directly tapped?

Hi Oran,

i have seen many speakers in the area of innovation & entrepreneurship in the last years, but none of them was so dynamic,fresh, funny & entertaining as Michelle Mone with here irish (or was it scottish) accent. I have seen here talking at innotown 2007 in norway. She is speaking about her up & downs as a highly successful entrepreneur in the lingerie business. But then again maybe it´s not what you are looking for...

Hello Oran.

I can suggest a person who is originally from Swaziland and now resides in Australia. He does work in personal development. I am not sure what you are looking for but here is his web site if you are interested. He has a book and is writing another as we speak I believe. I will leave the rest to you.

Hi Oran,

have you heard about DON BECK, with his model called "Spiral Dynamics integral"(SDi ; shorthand)?

He is an amazing speaker and has an important message about how to integrate and mesh conflicting value systems into a coherent and healthy whole. Amazing guy.

Moreover he has worked a long time in South Africa and significantly contributed to the overcoming of apartheid.

Google for his name and his theory Spiral Dynamics. You should be able to retrieve the contact details from the web.

best,

Dennis from Germany

Dear Oran,
great to hear from you. Recently I have met a person in Vancouver who is probably one of the bightest minds I have ever met in my life. I can highly recommend him: Sanjay Khanna (see http://www.khannaresearch.com/ ) has worked and inspired organizations like Nokia, Palo Alto Research Center and Hewlett Packard. He has an undying passion for designing for the future human and truly integrates head, heart, hand. Hope that helps.

Stay tuned.
eric
