Biography:

On 3 August 2008 in New York, Paul du Toit became Africa's first Certified Speaking Professional in 24 years. An acclaimed business speaker, coach and authority on business presentations, his book "Even You Can Present with Confidence" was published for the first time on 1 September 2008. It was this exposure that led to him studying, in great detail, exactly what it takes to become a brilliant speaker. In his keynotes and seminars, Paul uses these skills to teach others how to shift their mindsets in the areas of presentation, client service and possibility.

During his financial services career he earned the International Quality Award over 6 consecutive years. His period as a manager led to him founding the Congruence Group in Johannesburg during 1995, and changing mindsets all over Southern Africa ever since, focusing on Presentation, Sales and Service. During 2005 and 2006 his peers elected him President of the Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa, He has spoken at numerous international speaker conventions, a sought after honour among the speaking fraternity.

As his many local and international clients will testify, Paul reveals how to achieve extraordinary results through people, and how to implement changed attitudes for increased productivity. His humorous, entertaining and engaging presentation style and rare story telling ability have kept his audiences riveted during his Winning Attitude, sell-out Mind Blowing Customer Service and Mindset Shift seminars throughout South Africa.

Paul publishes an acclaimed monthly Congruence e-newsletter (subscribe here) with over 13,000 opt-in subscribers, and his most popular talks have been made into DVD's (go here for more info).

*Certified Speaking Professional (CSP)

The CSP designation is currently held by less than 700 professional speakers globally** - under 10% of professional speakers worldwide. Only two national speakers associations under the umbrella of the International Federation for Professional Speakers (IFFPS) are licensed to award the CSP designation – the United States and Australia.

The Certified Speaking Professional designation is the most sought-after and visible measure of professionalism in the speaking business internationally. It demonstrates professional standards in four key areas:

  • Association membership
  • Continuing education
  • Speaking performance
  • Business management

Paul du Toit is only the second resident South African to be awarded the CSP designation and the first in 24 years.
