Anglo American — through Neuro-Link
Full-day training to empower emerging leaders within Anglo American in Kathu, Northern Cape, delivered through Neuro-Link.

A proven facilitator. A distinct current focus.
Being the CEO of Your Own Life is Petrus’s current flagship focus, drawing on his wider speaking, coaching and facilitation experience. It is a separate offering — it was not delivered at Toyota, Anglo American or Old Mutual. The organisations named above illustrate his previous work, not CEO programme clients or endorsements.
Two distinct offers
Standalone keynote
Flagship leadership programme
Two Ways to Engage
Book a standalone keynote for your event, or choose the flagship programme for deeper leadership development and sustained action. Each is booked separately.
Self-Leadership Starts With You
60 minutes • One standalone speaking engagement
For conferences, company events and team gatherings. An engaging keynote on taking ownership, leading yourself and contributing intentionally to the organisation you serve.
A clear shift in perspective: challenge reactive thinking, recognise personal responsibility and reconnect daily choices with team success.
This is a separate speaking service — not an introductory session, prerequisite or included part of the CEO flagship programme. It does not include the programme’s assessments or 90-day accountability cycle.
Being the CEO of Your Own Life
Two half-days or two full days • 90-day accountability cycle included
For leadership teams ready to turn personal clarity into better decisions, stronger accountability and more intentional contributions to organisational performance.
From insight to implementation: Lumina and Brain Compass insights, practical team discussions, a One-Page CEO Plan and written commitments linked to workplace behaviour.
The compulsory follow-through includes a 45-minute progress audit 45 days after session 2, and a structured 90-day review of commitments and visible behaviour changes. No separate keynote booking is required.
What This Programme Is Designed to Address
This programme is designed for organisations that need leaders who take radical ownership rather than waiting for instruction, who stay clear-headed under pressure, and who work constructively with colleagues who think differently.
From Reacting to Responding
Moving from passive excuses and blame culture to total accountability for personal decisions, energy, and results.
Cognitive & Emotional Clarity
Grounded in Lumina and Brain Compass insights — understanding individual thinking patterns before stepping into the room.
Written, Usable Commitments
Every participant leaves with a completed One-Page CEO Plan and a signed 90-Day CEO Commitment they actually implement.
Who This Programme Is Built For
Tailored for cohorts of 8 to 20 leaders. The structure stays rigorous; the language and case studies adapt to your industry realities.
Executive & Senior Teams
Ownership, strategic direction, and seamless alignment at the helm of the organisation.
Middle Management
Mastering the difficult transition from doing the operational work to leading the people who do it.
Supervisors & Team Leads
Daily self-leadership, constructive conflict resolution, and crystal-clear team communication.
Newly Promoted Leaders
Establishing executive identity, higher standards, and high-impact habits from day one.
The 5-Stage Programme Journey
Understand Yourself
Explore personal thinking and working preferences grounded in confidential Lumina and Brain Compass profiles.
Take Ownership
Conduct the ‘Internal Audit’ — identifying unproductive thinking patterns and moving from reactive excuses to proactive leadership.
Understand Others
Learn how diverse thinking styles combine, reducing friction and turning cognitive differences into team strengths.
Choose Your Direction (The 168-Hour Reality Check)
Audit where your weekly 168 hours of time, focus, and energy actually go versus what you claim matters most.
Commit to Action
Lock in personal accountability with the One-Page CEO Plan and the formal signing of the 90-Day CEO Commitment.
Flagship Programme Delivery Formats
Presented on-site at your premises or at a venue of your choice.
Option A: Two Half-Days
Two sessions of 4 to 5 hours each on separate days. The space between sessions gives leaders time to reflect and apply.
Option B: Two Full Days
The complete immersion experience with maximum room for team discussion, role work, and executive alignment.
What Every Flagship Programme Includes
- Lumina Profile & Brain Compass: Completed prior to Day 1.
- Tailored Content: Built around your industry challenges.
- Participant Booklet: Concise frameworks and reflection prompts.
- One-Page CEO Plan: Each leader’s personalised roadmap.
- Signed 90-Day Commitment Card: Tangible accountability.
- Compulsory 90-Day CEO Accountability Cycle: A 45-minute progress audit 45 days after session 2, followed by a structured 90-day review of commitments and visible workplace behaviour changes.
From Personal Mastery to Organisational Performance
Personal leadership matters most when it changes how people contribute at work. Participants connect their CEO commitments to better decisions, stronger accountability and improved team performance — identifying specific behaviours to practise and evidence to review.
Built into every flagship programme
The 90-Day Sustained Impact Guarantee
“We do not leave the room hoping change happens. Every flagship programme includes our structured 90-Day CEO Accountability Cycle to ensure commitments translate into measurable team and organisational performance.”
45 days after session 2: a 45-minute progress audit to review action, identify obstacles and refocus commitments. At 90 days: a structured review of what has changed and what needs continued attention.
Our commitment is to structured follow-through and accountability; specific business results depend on implementation and organisational context.
