Motivational speaking
Be inspired, be transformed, be changed.
Gaelene Risk is an internationally recognised motivational speaker on self-empowerment and self-love.
As a leading motivational speaker, her reputation and transformational talks have created the opportunity for International Platforms where trauma recovery, self- acceptance and achieving the best version of yourself have been the focus. Gaelene is invited to speak regularly at events and has previously shared the stage with the prominent JT Foxx, George Ross, Johanna Mukoki to mention a few and has attended seminars with the likes of John Travolta, Calvin Klein, 50 Cent, Fredrik Eklund among others.
Gaelene is personally motivated by what she does, having lived through trauma and having overcome it herself, she is able to identify with those struggles that are real, naturally empathising with people’s experiences and situations. She can appreciate the amount of effort, energy and commitment it takes to heal. When she speaks, it is to call to the soul to go within, to dig deeper and unravel what you think you know so that you can become more of who you were meant to be. Gaelene’s talks are a catalyst to creating change within you.
The passion and drive I feel, as a speaker, is translatable through my message:
“You are not the limitations of your experience, you are the strength in who you choose to become.”
I have survived trauma, I have overcome it and now I thrive because of it.
