The highlight of the morning was getting the opportunity to meet and listen to Jani du Plessis. The ladies found her talk heart-warming and sincere and although there were many laughs, there were also a couple of tears as different people could relate to different issues that Jani herself had experienced. Everyone was able to get something from her to take away and think about.

I have known very few people who could rival Janie du Plessis. She is an extraordinarily multi-talented woman. She has an innate wisdom, a uniqueness, and verbal flair that can be both dramatic and genuinely funny.

In her larger than life presence, Janie rubs off on those around her, leaving them entertained, inspired and enriched by her energy and insights.

Janie has lived life to its fullest and experienced more than most people.

This has given her the exceptional perspective to speak authentically and influentially about both survival and success. We can all learn something from this visionary woman called, Janie.

Janie's has a fantastic ability to understand behavioural patterns and foresee trends. She has lived an extraodinary life and has amazing insight into almost any topic with the ability to interpret it in a very creative language that is useable, sellable, funny and more often, quite healing. She is able to see the big picture as well as the wonderful detail within. Her ability to formulate her opinions in any discipline has made her one of the few people I always consult and take advice from whenever I start a new venture.
