Jacques de Villiers
My Story
The reason I get out of bed every morning is to help you do work that makes you proud.
This includes the inner work to help you become the best version of yourself and its resultant outer manifestation so that you can make a difference to:
- Those you love (your family and friends)
- Those you serve (the company you work for and your clients)
- The place you call home (your country and community)
I come from a family with a rich history in academia, politics, medicine, philosophy, theology, publishing and business.
It was largely due to the larger-than-life exploits of his grandfather (Senator Bruckner de Villiers), uncle (Professor Raoul de Villiers) and father (Dr. Bruckner de Villiers) that my quest to beome a 'man of knowlege' was piqued.
My search for knowledge and meaning has taken me on an awesome journey of discovery into the world of meaning, purpose, philosophy, psychology, spiritualism, quantum mechanics and neuroscience, amongst others.
Today, I share this knowledge through my writing, training, speaking and consulting with my clients and friends.
I specialise in motivating sales teams and leaders.
Some of my keynote titles:
- What if Hollywood doesn't call?
- The Warrior Code
- What if You Get A Pug?
- Care and Growth Leadership
- Social Selling - Building networks and driving revenue using LinkedIn
