Rowan Van Dyk (DBA)

I hold a Doctorate in Business Administration I am also a Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM). I have over 30 years’ experience in management and leadership and I have been a leadership trainer for the past 15 years. I speak on Relational Leadership which is aimed at helping leaders get back to the basics of leadership by developing meaningful and caring relationships with their followers in order to regain their trust.

I have been exploring the art and science of leading teams for more than 20 years and I am the founder and CEO of the DNL Training Academy. I am the author of more than 10 leadership books including ‘Fundamentals of Leadership” which reached #1 International Best-Seller status. I am known as the Relational Leadership Coach because of the structures and tools I provide leaders to help them develop relationships through communication and trust. I have worked with some top companies and leaders I help have stress-free relationships with their teams that are engaged and deliver superb results.

I have a passion to share new ideas and fresh perspectives about building vibrant and engaged team. My simple, and easy-to-implement ideas will not only help you deliver excellent results and build a great place to work, they’ll help you create a competitive advantage that will enable your company to survive, and indeed, thrive in uncertain times.

The message I bring is based on my years of experience in the corporate world and the take-aways are based on how I rectified my own mistakes.
