March 2019 Meeting
March 7, 2019 @ 7:30 am - 10:30 am
Topic: The truth will set you free (but only after it kicks you in the guts!)
Justin is a passionate and positive South African who uses his skills as a writer, speaker and facilitator to challenge the way we see ourselves as leaders in our country. How do we show up as business owners, but also as citizens? Are we overwhelmed by the negativity of our time, or are we positive about the future and the difference we can make? In conversation with Jackie Warner, Justin will challenge us to see the cup half full…and to fill the cups of others to overflowing!
Guest Speaker: Justin Foxtin (Writer, speaker, facilitator, mentor and CEO)
Justin is an accomplished writer, speaker, mentor, process designer and facilitator. He is also the founder and CEO of NGO the Peace Agency (www.peaceagency.org.za). He works with a diverse range of clients from schools, NGO’s and SMME’s to multi-national corporations. The essence of his work is to cause a shift in individual and organisational culture; in how we think and hence how we show up in the world. These shifts are diverse and can include moving from:
- Armchair critics to co-architects of a better future
- Organizations to communities
- Power-over, to power-with
- Diversity and inclusion to relationship and care
- Safety as compliance to safety as a reflection of value
- Patriarchy to partnership
“My objective for bringing Justin into the company was to facilitate a process to make some fundamental cultural changes in our EXCO team and thus allow us to influence the entire organisational culture. His approach has resonated well with the EXCO team. We have not completed this journey, but I can highly recommend him to facilitate change interventions in any social environment. The initiative must be genuine and sustainable and then I believe his facilitation can be life changing.” – Thomas Holtz. CEO. Multotec
