From Self-Doubt to Success
Over 40 years ago, as a schoolboy with low self-esteem, he found confidence through daily discipline – training for track and academic excellence. Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, he learned that small, consistent habits create lasting success. Struggles with frustration and anger fueled his resilience and growth.
A Process for Uniqueness
With a postgraduate certificate in Clinical Psychology and a fascination with Carl Jung’s ideas, he views life as a series of dances between today’s action and tomorrow’s outcomes. He guides audiences through the process of embracing their unique strengths, much like a butterfly’s transformation from egg to wings.

TOPICS THAT ENHANCE CARL’S TALK
Choose Yourself to Transform Your World
Carl’s keynote explores the essential yet often overlooked balance between supporting others and honoring your personal path.
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” Howard Thurman
His blog, The Dance Between Giving and Growing: How Choosing Yourself Strengthens Everything You Love, draws on the wisdom of Howard Thurman. Carl shares a deeply personal reflection on the cost of ignoring one’s own needs for too long. He explores how both supporting others and choosing yourself can coexist by relating to our families and career in a mutually enriching way. You don’t have to choose between being responsible and “come alive”.
Learn more at my talk. Or read the blog post.
