 Turn Your Leadership Into A Performance Art

Thank you so much for your inspiring presentation. Your frankness and honesty about your journey, your learning, research and new career following a pivotal moment indicating a need to change was inspiring to us all.

Sharon Constancon – CEO SA Chamber of Commerce.  London UK

Thank you for the fireworks!.  The intervention you facilitated with the Hana Group Leadership team really changed our perspectives about what it takes to lead into the future and inspired some ‘out of the box’ thinking about the way we approach our leadership and culture going forward. I enjoyed the way that you engaged us in rich dialogue around some challenging subjects. It has created a great platform for us to build upon.  We look forward to working with you in the future.

Manoj Kirpalani. Chairman. Hana Group. Lagos Nigeria

Thank you for engaging our clients in such an inspiring way during the ‘Future of Work is Human Tour’. Pacegate has a reputation for leading the field in the oil and gas industry Nigeria in terms of innovative thinking. Your intervention with some of our top clients really engaged their hearts and minds around the concept of leadership and culture and the skills and mindset needed to meet the challenges of the future.  The feedback we have received from every client has been phenomenal.   I am excited about the possibilities for us as a company and the industry in general. We look forward to your return to Lagos and to taking the next steps in this business adventure.

Umesh Amarnani. Managing Director.  Pacegate.  Lagos Nigeria

Leadership in Project Management is a critical skill. Being a project leader means that we can no longer rely on our well-honed technical skills to move our projects and teams forward, we have to learn embodied ‘human’ leadership skills that permit us to maximize our influence, drive innovation, and increase our impact and results.  Working with Caroline at our PMI South Africa Chapter women’s month events in Melrose Arch and Umhlanga exceeded our expectations.  Through the practice of Leadership Embodiment combined with her insights into neuroscience and the way that the human biological system functions and changes, she inspired 80 women to take some powerful steps forward in their leadership journey. Each person left the session with the skills and insights to lead more authentically, courageously and gracefully in an increasingly turbulent world.  Her interactive, lighthearted and humorous style of delivery kept us continuously entertained and engaged.  This is one of the most inspiring and beneficial leadership programs I have attended in my career as an organizational and project leader and academic.  Caroline is a master of her craft, and I have no hesitation in recommending her as a speaker /workshop facilitator to a diverse range of audiences.

Dr Lynn A Keeys. CEO and President. Project Management Institute SA

This morning I had the luxury of hearing Caroline speak to our group around leadership and change. It was so inspiring to see the motivation in the room and to hear the comments around how powerful her words were.  Her content was powerful and moving and gave us a chance to really think about us, as leaders, and as people, so we can make the changes we need to make. We learned the power of being brave and courageous and how just taking on one simple change can make all the difference. I thoroughly enjoyed the session.

Alicia Calhoun. VP Centre for Growing Talent – Philadelphia USA

Thank you so much for being part of our ABSA women’s event.  We loved you and we all took so much from the experience.  You were like a vibrant breath of fresh air.  We found your talk motivating, entertaining and uplifting. We loved your sense of humour and relatability.  You have certainly sowed the seeds of change with many of us giving some greater direction in life.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to other business units. 

Joy Conway – ABSA/Barclays – Corporate and Investment Banking

Caroline recently presented at the Speakers Forum 63 of the Institute of Bankers in South Africa. She is a dynamic, interesting and engaging speaker and the audience really enjoyed and benefitted from her presentation. She is excellent at getting her message across and stimulating discussion and self-introspection. I would absolutely recommend her to any organisation who are looking to create a mind shift change. Her vivacious personality served to ensure that she never lost the attention of her audience. We would certainly engage her services again! 

 Ms Jalda Hodges, CEO Institute of Bankers South Africa

It has just been fantastic having Caroline here today at our Forbes South African Leading Women summit. Her talk was absolutely inspiring. Women have so much to do on the planet and having a woman like her to share her experiences and stories has been an absolute pleasure. We really look forward to hearing more from her at our future Africa Women events.

Roberta Naicker. Group Managing Director. ABN Group, including CNBC Africa and Forbes Africa.

Caroline was fantastic. She engaged with the audiences and her topic – The Madness of High Performance could not have been better scripted given the pressures and demands of the current working environment. In an ever demanding and challenging world, her experience and insight on managing burnout, stress, different leadership styles and expectations of management and customers was insightful and inspiring. She certainly captured her various audience’s attention with her thoughts for performing under pressure. I would definitely recommend her as a guest speaker.

Dave Howell, GM, Bidvest Insurance Motor Channel

Thank you so much for contributing to our Women Leading from the Edge Programme. Our Participants “loved your honesty and forthrightness”. You oozed confidence, presented your information very well and answered questions spontaneously and with honesty. When it came to spending intimate moments with the small group of women, you displayed great sensitivity and empathy. Your contribution to the day helped us achieve huge success as your authenticity and vulnerability nudged the participants into trusting and sharing more openly. We are very grateful for your contribution in strengthening the platform to empowering women. In gratitude, appreciation, and admiration.

Pamela Naidoo –  Project Director. Duke Corporate Education

As our Keynote Speaker at the SITE Summit 2017, your talk on the Madness of High Performance was most appropriate for an industry known to be highly ranked in the table of stressful jobs.   You immediately grabbed our audience’s attention and they were enthralled and captivated by all you had to say.  Your topic ‘hysterical industriousness’ resonated with us all and we felt as though you were speaking personally to each and every guest, with a deep understanding of their hectic working lives. It was a dynamic, valuable and engaging hour with you. You were right there with our expectations and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you further.

Clare Neall CMP. Managing Editor. Event Stuff

As one of the leading production companies in South Africa we work with many multinational organisations around the country. We meet a lot of people and we experience a lot of speakers, who after a while, all seem to sound the same.   Caroline Ravenall changed that. She is a rare talent who stands head and shoulders above the rest.  Her energy, content, and humour made her a real hit with the audience.  Her message for authentic and powerful leadership in the future is highly relatable and extremely profound. The audience loved her, and my technicians still talk about her to this day.  Caroline’s professionalism and relatability also extended into her off-stage presence. She engaged wholeheartedly with every audience member who wanted to speak to her.   I was so impressed that I have recommended her to all my clients.  I really look forward to seeing her career grow from strength to strength.

Jo-anne Sudbury. Founder and CEO. Upstage Productions.

Caroline is an inspiring and dynamic speaker with a very powerful stage presence. She really connected with our audience. I can highly recommend her.
