Talent Short Bio

Barbara Kamba Nyathi has been speaking publicly since she was six.  Her first brush with public speaking occurred when she recited a Bible verse at the school assembly.  T

hat experience ignited a passion within her that has grown over the years.  During the course of the years she has gained experience and has transformed into an inspirational speaker, an author, a poet, a TEDx speaker, a lifestyle coach.

She is also an entrepreneur with a passion for empowering women and girls.

She has over 9 years of experience as a psychotherapist and over 2 years as an inspirational speaker, and facilitator in her masterclass series.

She focuses on mental and emotional wellness using techniques such as vision board workshops for professional and personal growth, team building exercises and personal coaching.

Her vision is to inspire audiences to identify their golden thread, and overcome their life’s challenges.

In her signature talk, Unbecoming: The Art of Becoming, Barbara takes her audiences through her personal journey with cervical cancer, endometriosis, hysterectomy, sexual and emotional abuse, deafness, swollen pituitary gland, divorce, domestic abuse, and 14 surgical operations.

Barbara Kamba Nyathi fearlessly rips off the band aid through her address of brokenness, woundedness, human fallibility and eventual triumph with such authenticity that her audience is easily drawn into her process of Unbecoming to who she is still Becoming today.

Barbara Kamba Nyathi | Motivational

Barbara Kamba Nyathi shares about her ongoing transition into leading a more purposeful life where love, peace and light are her core values.

She also engages the audience in self introspection to tell their own story, identify what they want to become and find ways to achieve it.  She is highly motivated to help others transform their lives and achieve their greatest potential.

With her TEDx talk, Barbara Kamba Nyathi touched on issues that affect the modern day African Woman. She delved into those uncomfortable areas that we always try to avoid in conversation.

In 2018, we all believe we have advanced socially and have raised the bar on how women are treated or viewed. Barbara exposes that the patriarchy still exists and is thriving. She systematically points out how we choose to ignore or glide over all the instances were women are handled as 2nd Class Citizens.

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Virtual speaking appearances can indeed offer cost savings compared to in-person events. Virtual speaking rates are often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates due to factors such as reduced travel expenses and logistics. This makes virtual events a cost-effective alternative for organizations looking to book speakers within a budget.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
  • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
