Testimonials
Chris spoke recently at our company leadership event as part of a team of speakers addressing the broad theme of leadership. His focus was Nelson Mandela and talking about South Africa’s transition from white minority to black majority rule as well as the circumstances of his own life. Chris speaks about the time through the prism of his role as a bodyguard and therefore closeness to then President Mandela with great passion, humour as well as humility. This was an address given to a mixed group of persons from executive level to junior hi potentials and it held the audience spellbound. The message is personal and the learning experience unique to each individual depending on their experience but is captivating at every level and thoroughly recommended listening. What Chris said will long be reflected on particularly in the circumstances of current world leadership.
Hi Chris, I want to say a heartfelt thank to you for speaking at the recent IBM Sales Event. In different measures your talk was inspirational, spellbinding, powerful, funny, painful and humbling; it made a huge impression the whole team. I’ve never heard so may positive comments from my colleagues about any event and it was your story that shone a light on the day………albeit talking about a very dark period in our very recent history – apartheid South Africa. Below I have included a number of comments from my colleagues who sum up the day far better than I can. However, before that I want to say that the messages you gave to the team also have so much in common with business life today i.e. communication, dealing with setbacks, scenario planning, determination, team working and negotiation. We truly learnt a lot from you when we met – thank you
WOW!!! I have never seen a Guest speaker receive an ovation but Chris Lubbe did so on 2 occasions. He is a fantastic speaker who tells his very moving life story and the issues & history surrounding apartheid with disarming sincerity. Would be good on Cunard too.
