In this powerful and interactive session, the speaker mixes humor with deep insights to explore how mindset, validation, and the power of choice shape our lives.
He begins with cultural sayings “children should be seen and not heard,” “honey doesn’t grow on trees,” “all men are pigs” highlighting how language and stereotypes affect self-worth and behavior. He challenges men in the audience with humor while addressing the need for recognition and validation.
A central message emerges: acknowledge and appreciate others. He shares that even members of the South African Police Service, who often face criticism, respond positively to simple words of gratitude like, “Thank you for what you’re doing for me and my family.” Small gestures of recognition, he stresses, can have a profound effect.
The audience is then led through a playful but meaningful exercise: pointing to others with passion and declaring, “It’s you!” The activity underlines the importance of encouragement and affirmation.
Shifting gears, he addresses modern information overload from newspapers and TV to social media and its impact on mental well-being. His advice: choose to read, learn, and change. Choice, he argues, is the greatest democratic privilege.
He contrasts old school labels of “failure” with today’s learning mindset of “competent” vs. “not yet competent,” urging people to embrace growth over judgment. Finally, he emphasizes the power of self-talk: repeatedly telling ourselves, “I’m blessed, I’m successful, I have enough,” rewires the brain to create positive outcomes.
He closes with a caution: the tiny word “but” often sabotages progress reminding the audience to replace excuses with empowering affirmations.

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.
