MASIWA'S JOURNEY - ANCIENT AFRICAN WISDOM FOR LIVING AND LEADING

You choose your own path. Choose it well.
--- MASIWA, LAST OF THE GREAT AFRICAN TRACKERS

This is Stef's blockbuster presentation, teaching powerful lessons for living a life of meaning...

  • Each creature is unlike any other - You are singularly unique - you cannot be replaced, and cannot be repeated. What you have experienced, no power on earth can take from you. Actively seek to understand the lessons that life is trying to teach you, and you will start to experience the true power of your singularity.

  • Motho ke Motho ka Batho - "You are only a person through other people". Share your load, and you may halve it... but share your blessings, and they are doubled! Through this powerful law teams are able to reach common goals through single-minded purpose.

  • You choose your own path - Sometimes we lose our way... and we forget that our choices determine the outcome of our life. You are where you are because of choices you made, or failed to make. Once we stop blaming, and assume responsibility, we are free to find places we never knew existed.

  • North is always in the same place - Not all paths lead out of the forest, so choose your path wisely. Only when you know where True North is, will you find your way. Learn to live "on purpose".

  • Chiyetau Ombaze - "Go to it". The tribal elders taught that you can have whatever you want, as long as you are willing to go to it. It will not come to you. Plant a tree on the horizon, and start the journey...

What This Presentation Will Do For Your Delegates

We are often too busy to be successful - so busy seeking success that we forget to pursue significance. Sometimes we find ourselves on the wrong path. Many simply exist - living lives of mediocrity - lives of quiet discontent.

This presentation will take you on a journey of inner reflection: helping you to understand who you were - so that you may get to know who you are - and help you in your pursuit to become who you ought to be. You will find hope for tomorrow, built on the foundation of yesterday's lessons.

More About The Content....

In this highly visual presentation Stef shares some of the lessons that he has learnt from Masiwa, tribal elder, direct descendant of a great Nguni chief, and last of the great African trackers.

You will be reminded that "you are only a person through other people" - that you should not climb so high that your travelling companions can't keep up with you. Masiwa's wisdom soon becomes apparent when he declares: "The zebra does not care for spots" - reminding us that we cannot make progress before we develop complete self-acceptance.

We learn that "the rain dampens the soil at its will, but cannot dampen my spirit without my will". We choose our own attitude, regardless of our circumstance - and Stef will give tips on attitude management. In order for us to grow, we must next take responsibility for our own lives. Indeed, you do choose your own path. Your life is where it is because of choices you made - or failed to make. Take responsibility, and you take charge of your life!

Finally, we must learn to "eat the elephant". We can overcome our obstacles: but only if we do so one single step at a time. It can be done - one bite at a time. Too often, though, we see only the mountain, and not the path - we give up before we give it a go.

Stef has delivered this presentation to standing ovations worldwide. Humorous, full of wisdom, and complete with spectacular visuals of the African bush and its majestic inhabitants, Stef will captivate the minds and permeate the hearts of your delegates.
