Heroes, Villians, and Victories
Storytelling.
USING THE age-old art of STORYTELLING TO build your brand.
Once upon a time… See, I already have your attention. Our brains are hardwired for stories. Telling stories is how we make sense of the world and embed our lives with meaning.
With up to 40% of Marketing budgets being wasted, it’s time to relook at the way we write our messaging.
“In a time where speakers all seem to sound exactly the same. Pierre manages to sound completely different. He’s the Ernest Hemingway to their Dan Brown, the Pink Floyd to their Nickelback.”
Monsters, Heroes & Monarchs
Leadership lessons from Monsters, Heroes, Kings, and Queens.
There are at least 4 universal stages in life and subsequently in our careers as leaders. There is the Child, the Hero, the Monarch, and the Elder and each stage has a set of invitations and also has a turning point, a literal crisis that each leader needs to face.
“A completely new angle on leadership, with practical applications we can immediately implement in our teams.”
Lonely at the office.
Facing the single largest challenge of the 21st century, loneliness.
“People who are lonely at work are likelier to be emotionally and intellectually less engaged. These same people are also more likely to call in sick, they are not as motivated as other employees, and they do not perform as well either.” - Pierre du Plessis (2022)
FOCUS.
How to save your attention in a beeping and flashing world.
The world is distracting. These days our attention spans are lucky if they are that of a goldfish. This talk draws from my experience at Coachbit.com, where we have taught thousands of young people (and their parents!) to regain focus and get things done.
TRAIN NAKED
Develop productive rhythms in life and work
This keynote from the book is a call to train naked, to have skin in the game and start training to become a better human that builds amazing things.
It speaks of identity, purpose, and ethics, and along with a selection of life-changing practices, it inspires you and your team to take charge, get skin the game and train.
Don’t let the next battle catch you unfit; start training now.
“Pierre came and spoke to our team about the power of “Training Naked”. He was engaging, thought-provoking and ensured everyone left with something to think about. I cannot recommend him more.”
Ora et Labora
how to build a conscious life and business
Only one in five people are actively engaged and happy at work, three are apathetic, and the fifth is actively trying to damage the company they work for.
The new workforce is demanding more than just a paycheck. They want meaning. They want to work for a place that does meaningful work and is engaged in making the world a better place.
