He is one of the most requested speakers in South Africa as he shares his message of hope, purpose, faith, and leadership.ย

“I love stories of people overcoming challenges and seemingly hopeless situations. It inspires me and gives me hope. But overcoming requires courage and determination; it demands radical surrender and sacrifice. Changing habits and behaviour can be challenging. Venturing out of our comfort zones takes a lot of work. But if I and millions of others could do it, you can too! I feel humbled knowing I play a small part in God’s ultimate plan for humanity. I can bring a little hope to those who need urgent change and who desire to make a remarkable difference in their own lives and the lives of others.ย 

Something better is waiting for you-something much better than you have ever known. It’s time to be courageous and rise! The world needs you to play your part. Be brave and take the first step. You can live fearlessly forward if you choose it.”ย 

You don’t build a business, a school or an organisation. You make people, and then people build the company, school or organisation.ย 

MamaMagic, I look forward to sharing with you and exploring different aspects of parenting over the next few weeks.
