About Leladijo
Senior expertise, assembled around the work.
Leladijo helps organisations strengthen how people lead and work together, and shape events that achieve what they are meant to achieve. We bring the right mix of consulting, coaching, facilitation and event expertise to each brief.
What connects the work
People make the work happen. The work shapes their experience.
Our two areas of expertise are distinct, but they meet in the same place: turning a purpose into something people can understand, contribute to and deliver well.
Help capable people lead, communicate and work well together.
We design practical development around real conversations, responsibilities and team challenges. The work can combine training, coaching, facilitation and structured reflection.
Explore people and leadershipGive important events experienced hands and a clear route to delivery.
We help shape the strategy, plan the work, coordinate partners and support delivery, while keeping the participant experience and the people behind the event in view.

Senior involvement from the start.
The people who shape the work remain involved in it. Diederick and Johanna can lead separately or together, depending on the brief.

Johanna Roodt
Johanna brings more than 15 years of international event, project and community leadership. At EARMA, she built community engagement, events and communications functions and grew a six-person team.
Her work connects an organisation’s purpose with the experience of the people involved, from senior stakeholders and delivery partners to participants.
Coach and facilitator · Experienced team leader · International programme deliveryA wider delivery network
Built to flex with the brief.
Some work needs one experienced lead. Some needs a team. We scale the delivery model without making it harder for the client to know who owns what.
One clear point of accountability
A senior Leladijo lead stays responsible for the scope, communication and quality of the work.
Expertise that fits the challenge
We add facilitators, coaches, event professionals or subject experts where their experience will improve the result.
A joined-up way of working
Roles and handovers are agreed in advance, so the delivery feels like one team rather than a collection of suppliers.
How we work
Clear, practical and close to the work.
You do not need a finished brief. We start by understanding what is happening and what needs to be different.
Start with the situation
We listen for the practical challenge, the people involved, the constraints and the decision the work needs to support.
Agree the work before it begins
You receive a clear scope, format, roles and fee, with enough flexibility to respond when the work reveals something new.
Leave something useful behind
The aim is practical progress: a stronger conversation, a clearer plan, a more capable team or an event that works better.
