Henry Bantjez holds a Masters Degree in Psychology and has a history of consulting major multinationals in various countries on change management and talent development.
He spent most of his career in Tokyo where he consulted individuals and firms who went through the 9-11 as well as the subprime mortgage crisis. Since the pandemic, Henry has offered executives virtual coaching on how to lead their teams into readiness for a state of new normal and create products and services that the new consumer needs in a low-touch economy and how to become quick change artists. He highlights in his online Master Classes how the COVID-19 crisis has created significant opportunities for corporate leaders to innovate rather than yearn for things to go back to normal. Henry is an xxpert in leading International Talent Management Projects on “How to pivot during a crisis” and influencing behavioral traits managers and teams need to standout in the New Normal.
As a trained Cognitive behavioural therapist Henry offers counselling and life coaching services to individuals, which includes sex therapy for gay couples. Focusses on emotional fitness, which is as important as physical fitness. Healthy body healthy mind. As you have to exercise your body, you need to exercise your mind. Healthy eating. Healthy thoughts. Your emotions are like muscles that can be trained and nurtured how to respond. How to react. How to man up. Self- awareness. How you present yourself. How you show up in this world.
