Motivational Speaking: Lessons from Loeriesfontein

This 1-hour keynote is excellent as an opening address, getting conference delegates to start thinking more effectively so that they can contribute meaningfully to the conference. It is also a great closing keynote as it will help delegates reflect on the lessons learned at the conference and how to apply them.Most of what I know about life I discovered as a child in a farm in Loeriesfontein, Karoo, Northern Cape. Only sheep, weeds, shrubs, ostriches and the toughest of humans could thrive in one of the most barren environments known to mankind.

The lessons I learnt in this inhospitable environment served me in good stead to cope with the challenges life has thrown me since.
