Quinton Coetzee is a man of many parts. Born in the Namib Desert, he began his working life as a hunter. Specialising in bush survival at University, he studied the San tribe to see how they worked as a unit, living eating and hunting together. He then spent nine years teaching survival skills to the military before taking executives out to the bush on team building exercises.

Quinton is a world-renowned speaker who uses his experience as a conservationist specialising in bush survival for teaching business excellence. Quinton Coetzee uses the San people as a metaphor for teaching business excellence. His message is that survival of the fittest is still the rule — even more so in times when innovation is the key to business growth. Basic business fitness will dictate who has the means to foster creativity, who thrives, and who fails to survive.

Coetzee uses a back to basics approach, covering such topics as vision strategy and self-motivation, thriving on teamwork, boosting efficiency and training and skill development. With the aid of spectacular slides, Coetzee takes the system that the San tribe has used for years and transposes it seamlessly into today’s business environment. Whilst on the face of it, doing deals from plush air-conditioned offices is a million miles away from hunting giraffe on the African veld, the way Coetzee tells it the two are very closely related. He guides the executive back to a primal existence. Everything that the tribe does to survive is relevant to continuing prosperity in the business world today.

He has explored remote areas from the icy sub-Antarctic to the sweltering deserts of the Middle-east and has spent time with ‘vanishing’ tribes in African and the Amazon jungles. He is a true Renaissance man having been trained as a classical pianist. He is well known for his commentary on television and as a presenter of the South African wildlife program “Veldfocus”. Quinton is an excellent cook, roast scorpions being a particular speciality.

Quinton has addressed international audiences including Caltex Petroleum in Dallas, Texas; Nortel Communications, Toronto and Microsoft. His talks assist people to tap into their natural ability to improve business skills and performance, unleashing their creative potential.

Quinton Coetzee parallels the experiences of the San bush people with corporate survival techniques. The bush is the perfect model for today’s business world. His vision is very simple; the tribe (the company), the environment (the marketplace), the wildlife on which the tribe lives (the clients) and other wildlife (the competition) are dependent on one another. The relationship between all four forms the basis for an extraordinary talk which takes the corporate jungle to the real jungle and in the process returns his audience to that most human of states — the desire for survival.

From anybody who hasn’t been in the bush, this might seem a bit surreal, but the point is that Coetzee has done it (and has the scars to prove it) — he can walk the walk as well as talk the talk. And some talk it is too. Coetzee is an animated presenter, with the great gift of putting his thoughts across in such simple yet colourful language that you are compelled to listen. From the moment he starts, you are spellbound by his magnetism.
