Walk by my side...I am an Executive Inspreneur...

Who would you like to walk beside you?

“Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.” Albert Camus...

Every leader needs a special friend who is not a personal friend. Not a coach or a mentor; nor an analyst or management consultant.  Not someone to fix you or teach you how to lead. You are already a leader.

Allow me to enchant you and to introduce the Executive Inspreneur. This is your person. Someone who can walk by your side, who can listen without telling you what to do, who can be a sounding board so you can stay open, receptive, clear, alert, focused, balanced, expansive, energized and resilient. Someone ready to provide insights, perspectives, wisdom, encouragement, inspiration, ideas, support and challenge so you can thrive, be at ease, relaxed and fully present.

So who would you choose for such a role?  

Perhaps someone who is good at making something out of nothing?

Perhaps someone who understands all the elements of your world intimately?

Perhaps someone who can see the bigger picture?

Perhaps someone who is brilliant at pulling things together and making things happen?

Perhaps someone who is good at looking objectively beyond the surface to see what is really going on?

Perhaps someone who can see the common thread of purpose and meaning for all parties involved?

Perhaps someone who is brilliant at spotting potential and developing it?

Perhaps someone who has successfully played the role of the Rainmaker for more than 2 decades?

Perhaps someone with an affinity for the future and cutting edge, next generation evolutionary developments?

Perhaps someone with an inherent understanding of energies, trends and patterns?

Perhaps someone who is an innovator and visionary?

Perhaps someone who can think outside of the box?

Perhaps someone with Midas Touch?

Perhaps someone who is authentic, resourceful, creative and unconventional?

Perhaps someone who stimulates and captures the imagination and challenge expansion of perception?

Perhaps someone who is brilliant at reading the signs, deciphering the patterns and connecting the dots?

Perhaps someone who can rise above the obvious?

Perhaps someone who can turn ideas into assets and value?

Perhaps someone whose senses are highly developed and can feel into every situation intuitively and spontaneously?

Perhaps someone who understands Human and Organizational Potential?

Perhaps someone who can pick up limiting beliefs, opinions, behaviour and attitudes?  

Perhaps someone who can nurture, support and challenge?

Perhaps someone who has intimate knowledge and experience of development cycles (Spiral Dynamics)

Perhaps someone who has intimate knowledge and experience in Integral and Holistic Being and Living?

Perhaps someone who understands the gifts of a leader?

Perhaps someone who can guide you to trigger peak experiences in your sphere of influence that are unforgettable, remarkable and meaningful?

I am your person....This is me... Here I am...Unquestionably versed and embodied in all the above and much more...

My name is Hannelie Pienaar. I am an Executive Inspreneur, Concept and Idea Creator, Creative Thinker and Strategist, Inspirational Radio Host and Author.

My zest for life and my passion for Human and Organisational Potential, Inspirational Leadership, Creative Strategy, Talent Development and Social Artistry has delightfully been expressed though all my creations and expressions. An avid learner. I have studied Human Potential, Personality Profiling, Personal and Social Development, Spiral Dynamics, Developmental Psychology, Integral Psychology and Energy Psychology. I am trained and certified an various movement, expressive, writing, dreaming and energy coaching modalities. 

Amongst other beautiful, special and adventurous things, I love to gracefully, light- heartedly and skilfully introduce thought provoking concepts and ideas to expand perceptions and experiences.

I have studied at the University of Johannesburg and have started my career in Human Resources and Recruitment. I bring 25 years experience in Business, Management, Strategy, Human Resources and IT Consulting; amongst being an alumni of Deloitte Consulting for almost a decade. Being part of various global pursuits as a Rainmaker, I was fortunate to serve many clients across various industries in Africa, Middle East, Europe, West Asia and USA.  

The role of the Rainmaker has always been completely underestimated. The Rainmaker is no Sales Man but a Magician of note and a true Polymath.  To be able to lead and conclude    $ 1 mil and more contracts, you have to be a Master Conjurer and very talented, gifted, open, receptive, perceptive, creative, focused, sensitive, intuitive, awake, alert, wise, energized, vibrant, versatile, adventurous, inspirational and visionary with the ability to notice opportunities and to turn them into gold.

Let me give you an intimate peak at all the roles a seasoned Rainmaker plays:

The charming Relationship Guru is a Change Agent extraordinaire and has to romance, dance with, give attention to and listen to a kaleidoscope of role players; each with their own ideas, interests, needs, visions, experiences, opinions, attitudes, motives, agendas, perceptions and limitations.  

You have to be a Psychic (Intuitive and highly perceptive). You need to carefully and spontaneously tune into what makes them tick and what matters most to them individually.  You need to be exceptionally resourceful and skilled to get into both the hearts and heads of leaders, influencers, initiators, peoples of interest, management and end users/receivers. You need to comfortably, confidently and authentically relate and converse with them all to build meaningful relations and to get a true understanding of their needs. Then you need to discern masterfully what the team dynamics are about without spending much time with them all in a group context.  You need to be the canary and tune into the general atmosphere and vibe.

Soon you have to become the Visionary and start to anticipate and weave a common thread of purpose which will not only satisfy the needs of all involved but will have true meaning to them all. This new solution/service/product cannot only satisfy the current needs but has to delightfully surpass and astonish all future possible requirements.    You need to be able to see both the bigger picture and have an intimate understanding of what is needed to make this happen.

The Artist now needs to create something out of nothing; making sense out of things; read the signs, decipher the patterns, connecting the dots, artfully and skilfully painting new pictures and designing new solutions.  The Artist must also give life to a breath taking theme and all the necessary props to enable the Ringmaster to put up the greatest show on earth when captivating and representing to the audience.

The Spiritual Explorer has to find the heart beat/ life force and must ensure to make it matter. Sometimes a connection between two very different, seemingly incompatible things, have to be made in order for a masterpiece to be created. This persona will make certain that a powerful, attention grabbing and compelling message go out to everyone involved that is significant, unforgettable and remarkable, and has meaning, potential and purpose to all involved whilst inspiring and motivating along the way.

The Business Person needs to turn the ideas and creations of the artist into value and assets.  To do this successfully you have to understand all aspects of the playing field and the impact this assignment will have on the Vision, People, Strategies, Processes, Systems and Technologies. The Business Person needs to do a lot of research to ensure the specific industry and its evolutionary developments have been considered when putting the final Solution/Service/Product together.

And then Goal Setter/ Actualizer/Realizer needs to pull this all together. She/he needs to identify and pull in all the necessary resources to demonstrate the masterpiece to the audience and entrust the successful delivery and implementation of such an assignment.

The Wise Decision Maker quickly has to come forward to make conscious, alive decisions of the Who, Why, How and What; and creatively present and relay this to all involved.  She/he needs to ensure everyone is on the same page, has an intimate understanding of the purpose, needs and how it all fits together.

And then the Ring Master has to come forward to lead the creation of a peak experience for the audience and will work closely together with the Artist and the Visionary.  This experience and overall message must be authentic, unforgettable, remarkable, long lasting and audacious. She/he needs to ensure everyone is ready and prepared to masterfully play their roles during the entire courtship.

And whalla, it is time for the Greatest Show on Earth! The delightful Ringmaster creates rapture, mystery, suspense and drama! She/he captures the attention and charmingly holds the space while presenting all the performers, enchanting the audience and generally keeps the show moving not only smooth but riveting.

Then the Negotiator and Mediator need to step forward to do the final contract negotiations. After successful mediation, the Nurturer steps forward to ensure that what got promised is delivered and implemented in the way presented. The Nurturer ensures the seed can start to grow and receive the care and attention it needs to blossom in juicy fruits.

So you see, the Rainmaker is a true Polymath and an exceptional Leader to make this happen.

So who would you want to walk with you?

Someone who is an extraordinary rainmaker, a seasoned communicator and leader, and with more than 2 decades experience in Business, Human Resources, Management, Strategy and IT Consulting? 

Someone who is leading Creative and Inspirational Leadership and Change Initiatives?
