It just feels great to have colleagues all around the world, doesn't it? We have great colleagues in ICAP CRIF BULGARIA (who are actually in Romania today, for a joint training), but we can also share the joy and commitment of our colleagues in CRIF Philippines, who just planted lots of trees as part of a community empowering and leadership training program! Together to the next level! The world is our oyster! #ICAPCRIF #CRIF #globalbusiness #businessexcellence #globalbusinessinformation

We’re counting down the hours until our Future of Leadership Skills panel discussion Our commitment to thought leadership means we have the privilege of leading key discussions that impact our sector. Every now and then, we also have the opportunity to spark discourse for the whole of South Africa. We’re looking forward to Thursday’s Future of Leadership Summit in Sandton. GIFS is proud to lead a panel discussion on the Future of Leadership Skills. We’ve brought in game-changers in the space who are sure to spark conversation. Our facilitator is Taweni Gondwe-Xaba. She’ll be leading the panelists who are journalist Edwin Naidu, OUTA’s Head of Legal Stefanie Fick as well as GIFS’ Chief Strategy Officer Christopher Mulder. Considering where we are in South Africa’s trajectory, this panel discussion couldn’t come at a more ideal time. We’re so excited to be able to convene a panel of this calibre. We wish them all the best ahead of Thursday. #GIFS #FutureofLeadershipSummit #ThoughtLeadership Taweni Gondwe Xaba Stefanie Fick Edwin Naidu Christopher Mulder (MBA) The Future Leader Forum

I regularly speak to sustainability and leadership groups organised by #localgovernment such as Glen Eira Sustainability Champions who I visited last week. Feedback: "A great talk. Taught us lots about key factors of a successful campaign." "Brett was a very entertaining and informative." "It was fun and informative, very actionable takeaways." "Brett’s presentation really makes you consider the possible barriers within the presentation which was very good to hear." "Loved Brett as a presenter, was great to workshop ideas for each project."
