Louise van Rhyn

Dr Louise van Rhyn is a social entrepreneur, who believes the worlds' intractable problems can be solved through cross-sector collaboration and a solid understanding of complex social change. Her approach to change is shaped by more than 30 years of working as an Organisational Change and Leadership Development practitioner. Louise launched Partners for Possibility in 2010, an innovative national building and leadership development process for business and school leaders. The focus of their partnership is to lead positive change in an under-resourced school. So far more than 2,000 leaders across South Africa have benefited from the programme.
