Life. Obstacles. You.™

Be inspired by Frank’s deeply personal story of setbacks, challenges, adventure, success and triumph. He takes you on an amazing journey through his life experiences as a barman to a dead broke, unemployed, and homeless young man, to a fruit and vegetable vendor, and an entrepreneur. Along the way, he speaks about the lessons learned. Motivate your audiences to get out of the shadows, overcome obstacles, and go from invisible to invincible.

The proven, actionable, real-life and practical lessons show how Frank beat the odds to become a personal finance and employee financial wellness expert and active citizen can be brought into the context of any organisation and harnessed by anyone with determination, drive and the desire to excel.

Life. Obstacles. You
Life. Change. You

Life. Change. You.™

Change is the only thing that stays the same. It often comes in the form of small, continuous adjustments to our reality. But sometimes it comes all at once, with unspeakable force. It is our response to that change that dictates our success. Our world is changing at the fastest rate in human history. Maintaining the status quo is fraught with danger. Hence, change has become a critical skill and survival tool.

Are people who achieve results during change lucky, blessed, and immune to setbacks? No. These people also experience times of doubt, challenge, and great emotional turbulence. But it is their mindset and attitude that carries them to greater heights in the face of change. Thriving through change means embracing a “hope for success” rather than a “fear of failure” attitude. Frank’s talk shows how people can succeed against all odds and triumph in the face of change. Through lessons from his personal story, people will walk away with tools and skills they can use to be bold in the face of change.

Life. Purpose. You.™

Are you passionate about how you are living today and where you are going in the future? Or do you sometimes feel that you are merely a passenger on a bus to nowhere that you hopped on early in your working life and have allowed to determine the direction of your life? Unfortunately, on this bus trip, there are no billboards or flashing neon signs that light the way towards finding purpose.

Here’s the thing, though: few people instinctively know where they want to go with their lives. You’re not alone in your search for purpose. Frank’s talk puts people in the driver’s seat of their lives, making them feel confident about being there, knowing where they want to go and, more importantly, WHY. Through lessons from his own story, Frank shows that the “why” of life is the force that inspires people and the foundation for finding their purpose. People are wired to seek meaning in life and have a sense of purpose – knowing their lives matter and that they can make a difference in the larger scheme of things is the key.

Life. Purpose. You
Life. Wealth. You

Life. Wealth. You.™

The average person makes six to 10 financial decisions per day ranging from small decisions, like buying a cup of coffee or packing lunch for work, to saving for retirement or a child’s education. So many financial decisions require a balance of financial literacy, self-control and making the best possible decision given limited information. Most of these decisions are unguided. No wonder finances continue to keep people up at night!

Since personal finance is hardly taught in schools, most people learn to manage their finances through trial and error or from their parents – who also learnt to manage their finances through trial and error. Nearly eight out of 10 working South Africans report moderate to high levels of financial stress. Financial stress can impact marriages and sleep, and it can also negatively impact mental and physical health. People need more help to manage their finances, but they are not getting it. Without intervention, people can remain stuck in bad financial habits, or even make problems worse, unable to tackle thorny financial issues like high debt.

Help your employees tackle their financial stress and get started on the journey to long-term financial security using Frank’s research-based techniques to develop good money habits. In this practical talk, Frank discusses the money mindset, money stories, money mindfulness, good money habits, the power of choice and the financial behaviours that sabotage the creation of wealth.
