DENE ROSSOUW | Integrative Coach Dene Rossouw coaches teams and individuals on how to be strategic influencers, persuasive presenters and effective communicators. He specializes in helping SMEs capitalize on their own organizational intelligence, helping leaders turning their stories into strategies and ideas into initiatives.
His four programs using the power of Authentic Dialogue have proven to get his clients a real return on their investment: 1. The Persuasive Presenter 2. The Strategic Influencer 3. The Effective Communicator 4. The Customer Collaborator
As an Integrative Coach, Dene helps leaders create a life of authenticity, purpose and fulfillment. Integrative, from the Latin verb integrare, means to make whole. His two integrative coaching programs are: The Integrative Leader and Destineering.
About Authentic Dialogue and Destineering
In his quest for living a more purposeful life, Dene has had to constantly re-invent himself and learn from past failures and successes. In a previous life Dene did his military training in the paratroopers [he has a fear of heights], he was a lifesaver [he is a terrible swimmer] and a preacher [he is still figuring out what he believes]. He was once a media spokesperson for the Chief Justice of Nova Scotia. Go figure, he doesnt have a law degree. And if you call him and you get voice mail, he is most likely immersed in photography, learning about life and light through the lens.
Denes wide experience and eclectic background as a preacher, coach, author and photographer has led him to speak and coach about the power of Authentic Dialogue and the deep need for personal Destineering. [Destineering is not in the dictionary yet - it's a combination of destiny, re-engineering and orienteering].
Authentic Dialogue is the practice of having conversations that really count with self and others and Destineering is the practice of creating a life of authenticity, purpose and fulfillment. Bio
Dene is the co-founder of AuthenticDialogue.com, a coaching and consulting practice. He is the Past President of the Vancouver chapter of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers and is a Certified Executive Coach through Royal Roads University. He is a Certified Emotional Intelligence Facilitator and has the Associate Certificate in Workplace Conflict from the Justice Institute of British Columbia. He has a degree in Theology from the University of South Africa.

What I enjoyed about your presentation is that it went much more than skin deep. I was expecting some formularized method of teaching on how to present.
I was delighted to discover that you wanted us to talk from our hearts, about what really mattered to us. It was so refreshing! and I saw the others in the class relax and start to focus on what they really wanted to express, not just talking about topics that didn’t touch them.
You were part instructor, part therapist, encouraging us to bring ALL of ourselves into our speech.
I felt a huge difference in myself between the start of the day and the end of the day. The entire day was engaging, I was not bored or distracted in the least.
And you created a safe atmosphere for all of us to learn and grow.

I wanted to drop you a line to tell you that I did enter the “3-minute-thesis” competition at the University of British Columbia after completing Presentation Skills II. As a result of my performance in the semi-finals, I was invited to participate in a round-table discussion on innovation with the Governor General, his Excellency David Johnston.
And it didn’t quite end there: I delivered the final version to a group of professors and it went even better than the final. Then a week later I delivered it again to our departmental symposium. It went flawlessly – actually, better than flawlessly because I have finally figured out how to be myself, with a complete lack of nervousness up in front of an audience. I got great feedback, but more importantly, the presentation felt so natural.
I wanted to let you know how valuable Presentation Skills II was for me, and how I have translated the things I learned there to success in my schooling. I highly recommend the “3-minute-thesis” to students who go through Presentation Skills II in the future. Thank you very much for making the Presentation Skills II a learning opportunity and for encouraging me to take part in the “3-minute-thesis”!

I just reviewed my videos and I noticed quite a few things I can work on to tell better stories.
Thanks for creating such a rich learning environment. I have never enjoyed public speaking this much.

Thank you for working with me as my presentations coach. There is a lot that I have learned from your feedback and you gave me lots of ideas to integrate into my style as I continue to improve my teaching in the future.
