There has been a surfeit of Cape Town motivational speakers that combine a silky smooth tongue with ample helpings of humor and sentiment and decamp with hefty fees. These charismatic individuals have become a latest fad; one would find them mouthing misplaced examples and ill-conceived similes on almost every occasion, be it a high level business seminar or a meeting of district level school counselors. Cape Town Motivational speakers take the centre stage, makes some fashionable comments on such esoteric topics as ‘self esteem', harps on the importance of being confident without ever touching the real issues that might be tormenting the business leaders or the school counselors that have to actually solve the problems that face numerous children.
