About the Durban Boardroom

City skyline beside a sandy beach and turquoise ocean under a clear blue sky

Durban North sits at the heart of one of KwaZulu-Natal's most established business communities, home to owners and executives building for the long term. The Durban North Boardroom gives them a confidential table of non-competing peers to work through their toughest calls together. What makes this room distinctive is its focus on the whole leader. It pairs clearer business decisions with genuine attention to health, energy, and resilience, the things that let leaders perform well and keep performing over time.

Who Sits At This Table

Membership is by application and kept deliberately small, so that every seat earns its place. This Boardroom is built for:

Established CEOs and business owners carrying real responsibility for people, revenue, and direction

Senior executives navigating high-stakes decisions

Driven entrepreneurs ready to be stretched by those a few steps ahead

How A Session Works

Each meeting follows a simple, proven rhythm. A member brings a live challenge to the table: a difficult decision, a stubborn problem, or an opportunity they cannot yet see around.


The room listens, questions, and draws on decades of combined experience to surface options the leader would never have reached alone. Guided by a professional Chair, the conversation stays candid, focused, and strictly confidential. You arrive with a question and leave with a decision you are ready to act on.

Meet Your Chair

Jerry Rowles

Chair of the Durban Boardroom

Jerry Rowles brings an unusual combination to the head of the table: decades as a corporate director of small and medium-sized companies, paired with ten years of research and practice in therapeutic nutrition and lifestyle optimisation. Through his work as The Longevity Coach and Rowles Associates, he helps people improve their health, performance, and vitality, including individuals managing chronic illnesses such as cancer and type 2 diabetes, by combining evidence-based nutrition with a deep understanding of behaviour and long-term performance.



In the boardroom, Jerry draws on both sides of that experience. He helps members make sharper business decisions while addressing the root causes of energy, focus, and resilience, so leaders can perform at their best and sustain it. His approach is about building strength and healing from within, enabling members to thrive well beyond the balance sheet..

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the core mission of The Leadership Boardroom?

    We aim to empower business leaders by creating a trusted space for collective wisdom, strategic insight, and mutual support. Our goal is to help you achieve improved business performance and enhanced life skills through peer-to-peer learning.

  • How does the "Boardroom" model differ from traditional business coaching?

    Unlike one-on-one coaching or expensive consultants, we utilize a "Think Tank" mindset. We bring together a curated group of non-competing peers who act as a personal advisory board, offering real-world experience rather than just theoretical advice.

  • Is The Leadership Boardroom an international organization?

    Yes. While we have a strong presence in South Africa (Pretoria, Sandton, Cape Town, Hilton KZN), we are expanding globally with boardrooms "Coming Soon" in London, Dublin, and beyond.

  • What is the "Collective Wisdom" approach?

    It is the principle that the combined experience of twelve seasoned leaders is more powerful than any single expert. We channel this collective intelligence to solve complex business management trials.

  • Who is eligible to join a boardroom?

    Our platform is designed for senior executives, established business owners, and emerging entrepreneurs who are navigating high-stakes decisions and seeking fresh perspectives.

  • Are the sessions in-person or virtual?

    We offer flexible membership options, including both in-person sessions at our various global locations and virtual sessions for those who require remote access.

  • What are the primary benefits for an established business owner?

    Key benefits include the enhancement of leadership acumen, high-calibre networking, and the ability to solve specific business problems through the strategic insights of peers who understand the weight of leadership.

  • What does it mean to "Become a Chair"?

    A Chair is the facilitator and leader of a specific boardroom. It is a franchise-based role where you use your experience to guide other leaders while building a profitable business of your own.

  • How many members are in a typical boardroom?

    We maintain small, high-calibre groups to ensure intimacy and authentic peer-to-peer learning. This allows every member to receive valuable insights during every session.
