Personal Details

Bio

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.

Remote Leadership Blueprint
2 hours
(View workshop agenda)

The Covid-19 virus has once again reminded us that as leaders we are constantly having to deal with crises in our business. For years many leaders have been eading their teams remotely with great success, but they were afforded the opportunity to plan and implement the shift over time. There are those leaders who, when the virus hit, suddenly found themselves and their teams either working remotely or from home. Now this has been hailed as the Next Normal and there are leaders that are struggling with the transition. This workshop is there to help with the transition.

  • Our team, ARIVA Academy Philippines, Inc. Invited Dr. Rowan as one of the keynote speakers during our Philippine HR Congress and Asia HRD Summit held last August 22 – 23, 2019. His topic about “Man and Artificial Intelligence: HR Competencies Critical in the Battle of Technology” truly proves that he is the sought after speaker pertaining the future of a workplace. His insights are great and truly easy to grasp. We are very lucky to have him speak before 1,500 delegates. Truly a remarkable experience. I highly recommend him to be one of the invited speakers for your upcoming learning events.

  • Rowan van Dyk is a thought-provoking speaker on the future of the workplace. His great insights reveal that future is actually dependent on people, and how we change – as we become increasingly dependent on mobile devices and as we work faster and become less accepting of unproductive processes and technologies – we expect changes in the workplace.

  • We are lucky to have worked with Rowan, a powerful speaker who not only cares about delivering an impactful session, but also working well with the team. Rowan delivered an interactive session titled ‘Change the Way You Lead to Change the World’ at the Switch Conference 2019. In the weeks leading up to the conference, he worked closely with the Switch team in order to plan and deliver a session best suited for our audience and the goals of the conference. He delivered excellently on this, with a session that fully engaged the audience.

  • I watched Rowan deliver his TedX talk in Swakopmund on the 7th of November and it was absolutely mind-blowing. He's an eloquent speaker and has a very good mind provoking message. His delivery is on point and very relatable. If you want the horse to drink the water, add salt. Here is to more speeches, Rowan.
