Pierre du Plessis is a renowned speaker, strategist and author who has dedicated two decades to helping businesses and individuals navigate strategy, leadership and chaos. As the founder of Be Brave, a Strategy Design Lab, Pierre partners with businesses, from multinationals to scale-ups, to co-create strategies.
Pierre has delivered keynotes for clients including BMW, Yum!, FNB, Allan Gray, EO, KFC, HATCH and Tencent worldwide. His topic, strategy, is presented through a blend of trends, frameworks, research, ancient wisdom and pop culture. His talks inspire leaders to make brave decisions, embrace uncertainty and transform challenges into opportunities for innovation and growth. He has shared his insights on four TEDx stages.
Pierre is the author of four books, including Train Naked: A Guide to a Meaningful Life and Work That Matters, which received the Desmond Tutu Gerrit Brand Prize for Literature. His signature keynote, In Praise of Shadows, challenges conventional approaches to chaos and equips audiences with insights to navigate complexity and build products and businesses that move our world forward.
Whether speaking to executives, founders or teams, Pierre combines thought-provoking ideas, relatable storytelling, actionable frameworks, humour and tools. He holds a Master’s degree, cum laude, in Systematic Theology, with research focused on loneliness and belonging, giving him a human-centric perspective.
His work brings together insights into human behaviour with strategic frameworks, helping leaders and teams think differently, make decisions and create meaningful change. He draws on academic thinking, lived experience and his work across creative and business environments to make complex ideas practical and relevant for audiences today.
