Public Speaker

 When I look back at all the moments in my life where I have been standing before a group of people – in my corporate management journey and as a Toastmasters International member and  – I have always delivered speeches encouraging people to live with confidence, responsibility and authenticity, a journey to courageous self-love. 

As woman, we find it challenging to be our true selves as life and circumstances shape us into ‘some other self’ or one that has to fit the situation – we start wearing masks. In August 2021, I delivered an online talk to ABSA on Woman’s Day encouraging woman during the most trying circumstances, COVID, to reach into their inner core and strength and continue ‘fighting’ to attain their best selves. 

August 2022 we again celebrate woman from all walks of life and as a keynote speaker for the Portuguese Woman’s Forum, my message remains the same. We need to put aside our ‘masks’ to live our authentic lives, to better serve ourselves, our families and our communities. We are facing the greatest human crisis of all time: lack of self-love, kindness and compassion.
