What sets

Brave Inflexions apart

#01 - MORE THAN 30 YEARS OF EXPERTISE

The Founder has walked the talk. With more than 35 years of leadership experience, which includes executive, non-executive and international experience. Leaders who work with Brave Inflexions are assured of a level of competence that they can rely on.

#02 - BLENDED APPROACH

Leadership interventions cannot be one-dimensional. Brave Inflexions looks through multiple lenses when assessing the client’s needs and brings to the table a multi-dimensional approach in its interventions.

#03 - MULTI-DISCIPLINARY

In serving the client’s needs the following disciplines are incorporated:

Leadership, Team Dynamics and Performance Management
Lessons from the field of Neuroscience
Lessons from the field of Epigenetics
Ethics
Governance and Risk Management
Lessons from the Enneagram

#04 - CUSTOMISATION

All interventions are customised, to ensure that the client’s needs are met. The Brave Inflexions approach is to acknowledge that all organisations have their own nuanced challenges and need tailored programs that take the nuances into consideration. First, we listen, then we propose solutions or interventions.

#05 - CROSS-SECTORAL

We make a point of bringing leadership lessons from other sectors while zoning in on the particular dynamics of the client’s sector. This helps the client to think broader than the box they may have been operating in.

#06 - COURAGE AND TRUST

We don’t shy away from having the difficult conversations, especially where the client has to deal with ethical dilemmas, conflict resolution, complex inflection points and the like. This, we are able to do because our clients trust us to work in their best interest and that conversations are always deemed confidential

MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER

First, lead yourself

Leadership is key to humanity’s survival. However, we need to redefine our understanding of leadership and what is required as we move into an ambiguous non-linear future that requires a fluidity we are not accustomed to.

I created Brave Inflexions in response to a growing distress I was feeling in watching humanity dealing with increasing complexity in a less than optimal way. That is a complexity which we have created and are collectively allowing to spin out of control in some key areas.
Every day I see things that deepen my belief that strengthening our leaders to navigate today’s challenges, while shaping a better future for all, is an absolute imperative. I think deep down we all know it, but in the busyness of daily life we are not giving enough attention to it and are therefore lagging in bringing about the necessary changes.

Culture Assurance Requires More Than Internal Audit: The role of the Board, Executives, HR and Internal Audit

I recently had the privilege of joining the 2026 IIA Mauritius conference as a keynote speaker. My chosen topic was “What the numbers don’t tell us: auditing the human dynamics that make or break strategy”. I have, for the longest time, advocated that internal auditors should focus on organisational culture in their organizations. The reason I think now would be the ideal time to focus on this topic is the Institute of Internal Auditors’ new mandatory Organisational Behaviour Topical Requirement coming into effect in December 2026. The Topical Requirement was released in December 2025. And I think it affects more than the Internal Auditors it was written for.

It is important to note that organisational behaviour is a subset of culture, and the Requirement, if applied properly, should allow behavioural risks to be addressed across audits. My guess is that Internal Auditors will quickly find out that they need to look at the broader picture if they are to help bring about meaningful change. It is my considered opinion that culture transformation initiatives often struggle when they focus only on changing behaviours. Sustainable behaviour change usually requires changing the underlying cultural assumptions, values, and rewards that drive those behaviours.

Human Capital in 2026 and Beyond: Who Is Protecting the Organisation’s Future?

I recently had the opportunity to circle back to a topic that occupied my mind as Chair of the Human Capital and Remuneration Committee of one of Africa’s most complex organisations: human capital challenges now and beyond. This trip down memory lane was triggered by a panel discussion on the topic at the IIA Mauritius’ annual conference. I had the good fortune of sharing the stage with people who have clearly applied their minds deeply to the topic.

A simple fact is that an organisation can have a compelling strategy, a reassuring workforce dashboard and a succession chart filled with names, yet remain dangerously vulnerable without the leadership being aware of the vulnerability.
