CORNELIA SIMELANE
I have a passion for helping improve people’s lives. I was an Educator for more than 25 years. I obtained the B.A and E.Ed. degrees at UNISA. I have an E.C.D registered business registered at CIPC and endorsed by SACE. I’ve been presenting valuable ECD practical workshops in Rural and Impoverished communities. I stopped because of the COVID 19 pandemic.
I am a Motivational speaker because I wish to be a shoulder to lean on for people who go life traumatic experiences. I personally experienced the cold, lonely, long journey when I went through 2 miscarriages, 2 divorces, my only child passing on, both parents and only sister passing on and growing old alone.
I’m aware that many people go through the above thus I wish to get an opportunity to help.
- Aging gracefully: I would like to remove the Myths that people have about senior citizens.
- Divorce: Share strategies for accepting the situation and move on with a better life.
- Losing loved ones: Grieving is a very cold, lonely journey. I wish to share meaningful coping skills, find a center where people who lose children, spouses, parents can come to listen to me and other speakers, share my own pain. This is therapeutic and an emotional remedy.
- Growing old alone: Elderly people are treated with disrespect, hurt, humiliated etc. I would like to remind them that they are very special, blessed with a rare gift, love themselves, etc.
My talks are meant for all adults. E.g. 18years-100years old.
