Talks

We as human beings are conditioned to think and operate defensively and as result of this yes it will be difficult for anyone to score goals against you but you cannot win any games that way. This talk helps audiences switch to an offensive role in their lives and positions which was also the main theme of Llewellyn’s first book.

Another theme of Llewellyn’s first book, and these talks focus on how people can understand that fear, limiting beliefs are all perspectives that have been programmed that can be altered. Once a human being can understand the basis of why they think the way they think, they can bypass it therefore making them better human beings overall.

Whether it be budget speeches or other economic trends, Llewellyn is often invited to share his view on matters as he keeps his finger on the pulse to what is going on in the world.

From Education, to Retail to Tourism, Llewellyn has been able to do research in order to help decision makers and business leaders make decisions based on Economic trends from a different perspective with some predictions.

Innovation is a key part to humanity and every industry is not immune to changes that can shift the playing ground thereby giving some companies an advantage and others a disadvantage. Using the concept of creative destruction, Llewellyn is always able to give decision Makers key insights to their industry in order to anticipate radical shifts that could affect them negatively or positively.

From concept, to funding to market, Llewellyn, who was named top 40 under 40 entrepreneurs in Africa, is able to dig deep into his experiences to dazzle audiences regarding the truth of the journey.

Llewllyn has a very big heart for the continent and these topics are centered around how geopolitical shifts affect African markets. One cannot look at a market without putting it into the globalization context.
