The only brain motivational speaker in South Africa today
I’ll take you a bet that I’m the only brain motivational speaker in South Africa. Of course I’m not talking about neuroscience or how the brain works, but the workings of The Brain 10. This tool helps me: take notes, have a non-linear system of file management and visualise ideas and relationships easier. I use […]

Most new (unblooded) speakers reckon that a speakers agency will automatically put them on its books. The reality is harsh and unsettling for new speakers. They don’t. Are you one of the many brand new motivational speakers looking […]

I’ve no doubt that youâve heard the idiom âLike looking for a needle in a haystack.â Itâs based on the idea that it’s hard to find a sewing needle in a haystack. It means when something is almost impossible to find. It got me thinking about the Holy Grail and the Arthurian legends attached thereto. Just […]

Gold or God

Attention is superior to intention
It was when I was rereading Etsko Schuitemaâs Intent: Exploring the Core of Being Human the other day that I came across this aphorism: Attention is Superior to Intention. Eckhart Tolle made the same observation when he said, âRealize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus on […]
