Background & Experience
My name is Stephen Keet.
My professional life has centred on helping organisations and individuals think through complex situations and important decisions, grounded in practical experience rather than theory.
I hold a BSc from the University of Stellenbosch and have held senior management roles in the forestry, energy, and economic development sectors, followed by more than fifteen years as an independent strategy consultant.
Much of this work has involved working with groups navigating competing interests: helping bring structure to complex situations, resolve ambiguity, and define clear, practical ways forward.
Alongside this, I have worked one-on-one with individuals facing significant professional and personal transitions, helping them to think clearly, make sound decisions and take practical next steps.
This is now the primary focus of my work.
My Operating Principles
Confidential: what you share stays private and is used only for our work together
Non-directive: you make the decisions; I help you think them through
No dependency: designed to move you forward, not keep you coming back
