The world can be a chaotic place—like riding a psychotic horse toward a burning stable. And the horse is on fire. And you’re on fire. Pierre du Plessis helps people and businesses make sense of the madness, find their way through uncertainty, and become just a little braver so they can build things that move the world forward.

As the founder of Be Brave, Pierre has more than two decades of experience developing people, building businesses, and creating products that actually matter. He has helped multi-billion rand companies design winning strategies by unraveling the secrets of human behaviour and turning them into powerful business insights. He cares deeply about two things: helping people become better people and helping them do work that truly matters.

A sought-after speaker on human dynamics, strategy, and navigating chaos, Pierre has spoken on four TEDx stages and engaged with leading organisations around the world, including HATCH, Tencent, BP, Alan Gray, FNB, and Yum! His unique mix of wisdom, wit, and unconventional thinking makes him impossible to ignore and hard to forget.

He has written four books and was awarded the Desmond Tutu Gerrit Brand Prize for literature in 2018. Deep down, he believes he is the love child of Gertrude Stein and Jason Bourne and lives in Cape Town with his wife, two kids, and his ever-present iPhone.
