KEY TAKEAWAYS
We all have significant emotional events that shape us as human beings.
Hard times teach us a lot, but they also leave a mark.
We all need to learn how to look for the gift in the challenge. Turn adversity into a benefit.
Remember everyone is going through their own battles.
Be kind to yourself and others. Often, just smiling at someone is enough to give them a lift.
Even if you are terrified of public speaking, do it. You will grow in confidence and transform your life.
When you reach the point where you are comfortable with who you are the world opens up to you.
Stop worrying about what people think. They are going to judge you anyway, so just be the best version of yourself.
Learning to engage with other people is one of the most powerful things you can do.
Get rid of the idea you should not speak to strangers. You have to connect with others to get things done.
Everything is energetically connected, so there is always some sort of benefit to whatever we do.
Reading is a great way to learn, inspire yourself, and help you to cope with bad times.
Be brave enough to be yourself and let your light shine.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Growing up in that kind of environment, on the street, is very brutal. ´
‘I believe, with conviction, ... that every single adversity has within it the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit.’
‘One of the most powerful things you can do is to learn to speak in public.’
‘Stop fighting against yourself all the time.’
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

ABOUT THE GUEST
Allan Kleynhans is a walking lexicon of human development and potential, having studied psychology, philosophy, the behavioural sciences, and consciousness for 33 years and counting. His vast knowledge and expertise as a passionate and highly skilled facilitator on the subjects of human behaviour, communication, self-mastery, conscious leadership, and spiritual psychology have helped many thousands of people to make significant personal and professional breakthroughs. He loves helping people transcend the limiting mental constructs of their human psyche to create lives of true fulfilment, outrageous success, and authentic self-expression.
Inspired at a young age by Napoleon Hill’s classic work, ‘Think and Grow Rich,’ Allan’s search for answers was driven by his own significant problems. When he discovered the book, he was suffering from severe post-traumatic stress caused by his time serving as a soldier in the Angolan war. His PTSD led to other problems, including emotional distress, severe anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. His quest for knowledge and understanding led him to many different modalities for transformation. He has studied and worked with the biggest names in the self-improvement industry.
Allan created his own workshop, 'AWAKEN', which allows participants to deeply explore the principles of human potential, spiritual psychology, and personal transformation. The workshop helps people to understand their true spiritual nature, which allows them to transcend their limiting mental paradigms, transform their problems into opportunities and find their true purpose here on earth.
He is a master facilitator and has been teaching and facilitating workshops for 20 years. He is also in high demand globally as a keynote speaker and has shared stages with Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone, and Gary Vaynerchuk. As a Master Coach, he has coached and worked with large, medium, and small organisations including major banks, large retail brands, CEOs, small business owners and entrepreneurs, military, and police personnel, and professional sports personalities, including members of the South African Springbok Rugby and Netball teams. In 2004 he worked with the Natal Sharks Rugby team in South Africa, helping them to a winning season.
Allan is direct, transparent, and thought-provoking – his intense, authentic style on the platform keeps his audiences riveted and has earned him rave reviews globally. He has been described as ‘brilliant, and articulate, a moving and inspiring speaker with a passion for people and a real desire to make a difference.’
Drawing from his own life experience and personal transformation, he is guaranteed to bring your conference or meeting to life with his dynamically entertaining and unconventional style. His passion, expertise, and deep knowledge of his subject matter ensure he will add massive long-term value to your audience. More than just ‘rah-rah,’ Allan leaves his audiences with real take-home value and practical tools that help expand this value through time.
