One is immediately struck by his sincerity and humility as he delivers a dramatic account of his transformational experience.
Rusty has been through a trauma few have experienced. In 2003, the successful Zimbabwean businessman, who ran a safari outfit, flew his own aircraft, and had a fishing resort on Lake Kariba, was framed by a poacher, the police, and the courts, and wrongfully convicted of drowning a poacher.
His resilience, ability to face adversity, and pure grit are an unparalleled inspiration.
He talks and writes about being subjected to conditions most people would find unbearable, having to draw on his inner resources and strengths to endure the unimaginable.
In the process, he developed not only a life-saving resilience but also empathy and a keen desire to help his fellow inmates.

POSITIVE LEADERSHIP: PUTTING THE PEOPLE BACK INTO PEOPLE MANAGEMENT
Unpredictability is very much still with us. In order to adapt successfully, organisations need to have adaptable employees. Perceived organisational support is a prerequisite for employee adaptability. Employees need to feel safe to experiment, take risks and explore the unknown. Contrary to what some may say, positive leadership does not lead to reckless optimism but rather it creates an environment that reinforce agility and adaptability.
In this talk, Organisational Behaviourist, Siphiwe Moyo shows leaders how to:
- Get results by giving trust
- Create psychological safety necessary for adaptability
- Encourage divergent views without affecting morale
- Focus on strengths and capabilities
- Enable flourishing and thriving through caring for employees

You are so tired of prospecting. What if you could easily get in front of over 5000 meeting professionals who book professional speakers? You make it easy for them to find you — easier than the bazillions of Google search results that come up when someone searches your topic.There’s an app for that!
The WeSpeak Global app helps you get bookings. Created by top bureau owners Bronwyn and Duncan Hesketh, who market the app to their vast list of meeting professionals to help them find speakers — 5000 planners have already downloaded the app!
This means that at least 5000 event professionals from around the world now have this marketing platform in their pockets at all times, as well as on their desktops.
This gives thought leaders, speakers, emcees and entertainers direct access to those bookers, since no other platform currently available has the ability for in-app marketing and purchases. But get this — WeSpeak does not take a bureau commission, only a small fee for the paid version.
With a truck load of functionality available to speakers, including robust, multi-media, marketing collateral uploadability, PLUS the hosting and sales of paid mini-keynotes and full online courses, the platform is fast becoming the go-to option for all who want to be in full control of their marketing material.
But the steep learning curve of technology can be quite daunting, so WeSpeak Global creator, Duncan Hesketh, runs through the platform, showing us how to use it to its full extent, helping us to better understand the potential of reaching those 5000+ warm leads (which is growing daily).
Watch as we explore the app to see all the capabilities to increase bookings.
What you will learn:
getting set up on the platform
easily add your listing
add your content to be top of mind
who the app is marketed to and how to maximize your exposure to them
More about our guest expert:
Duncan Hesketh has been involved with the speaking industry for over a decade. He owns and runs the bureau Conference Speakers International, which has been a well-established speaker bureau for over 30 years in South Africa, with many international clients. He has combined his intimate knowledge of the industry with his own tech skills, against the backdrop of his previous international sales experience in the UK, to co-create WeSpeak Global with his wife, Bronwyn Hesketh.
He knows what speakers want and need (more bookings!) and spends his days in discussions with talent and bookers from all over the world, tweaking and refining the app, so that it is truly a global platform, serving speakers and bookers everywhere.

After completing his studies at Wits University having done Economic Science, Llewellyn had an idea in 2012 to invent the world’s first premium anti-hangover shooter – Lohocla (alcohol backwards)), a product to help alleviate the symptoms of a hangover so that responsible people could still function after nights out. It took him several years to develop the product which is now nationwide at liquor stores and is now about to be exported globally.
As a result of the products’ success, Llewellyn was named one of the top 40 under 40 Entrepreneurs in Africa by African Independent Magazine in 2018, he has given many talks and eventually started his own seminars in partnership with Tsogo Sun where he teaches his philosophy “The Mastery Code” that teaches Self-Mastery, Money-mastery and purpose to individuals and businesses about how they can go on the offensive instead of being stuck in defense mode. This led him to write the much-anticipated book that teaches his philosophy of life. He has spoken on multiple stages at conferences and TED talks.

Adapt & Thrive: Preparing for the Storm by Peter van Kets
Who would ever have imagined that in 2020 we would all be “dropped in the middle of a “stormy Atlantic Ocean”.
The past few weeks have pretty much created chaos in most people’s lives and will continue to do so in the coming months.
The restrictions set in motion have crippled many small businesses and the economic outfall from the Covid19 outbreak has much greater reach than we could ever imagine.
Ep 1: Rebuilding your life from the disruption and brokenness of Digital Transformation
I travel around the world speaking to Executive and Senior Management teams in organisations and lead them through the processes and conversations that enable them to be effective Digital Leaders.
These webinars are a coalescing of some of the core human issues that leaders sometimes treat as peripheral, but they’re at the heart of our human experience in these times of upheaval.
This is not a Covid-19 series of webinars, but we cannot avoid the reality that the global lockdowns (and non-lockdowns e.g. Sweden and Brazil) have fast tracked a lot of this digital conversation.
Join me to discuss the human side of these digital dynamics.
The ability to persevere is known as the most common factor found among successful people and businesses. To be resilient in our current environment will mean that we are able to adapt to the radical changes we are facing. Resilience is like a muscle. It needs to be built and trained if you want it to be strong. In this presentation, Peter speaks about his expedition experiences and methods for building resilience in your own life.
