Born and bred in Johannesburg, South Africa, Barrie moved to Durban in 1993 after
taking up a position at a large Youth Development NGO, where he worked in Kwa Mashu for 2 years, training and developing life-skills facilitators.
He went on to head up the International Youth Development Centre, a project that specialized in recruiting young adults from countries outside of South Africa and placing them in community development projects in and around Durban. During this time Barrie was instrumental in developing a
National School Development Project ( Siyithemba) for one of South Africa’s largest Youth Agencies. He also spent some time lecturing and supervising students in the Child and Youth Development Department of Natal Technikon (now Durban Institute of Technology).
Barrie is now the Chief Imagination Officer of TomorrowToday.biz, and is well known
for his creative thinking and the bundles of enthusiasm he brings to any environment
he works within. Barrie is at his best when working to create environments that invite
potential and energy from people. His experience in the not-for-profit world has helped him develop ‘ not the usual suspects’ when it comes to tools for motivating people.
Barrie is a member of the South African Futures Society. He is a sought after speaker and consultant, and a visiting lecturer at the Asia-Pacific Leadership Programme of the East-West Center at the University of Hawaii. Barrie has been married to Leisha since 1993, and they have 2 beautiful daughters.
