ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Born and bred in KZN, Nontuthuko Mhlungu has always been passionate
about communicating and uplifting others through Public Speaking. Having
developed a strong connection to what she calls her Purpose and her Gift to
the world from the tender age of 14, she always knew she was meant to help
people realise their purpose and unlimited potential.
Nontuthuko graduated from the University of Pretoria in 2011 with an LLB
degree, and was subsequently admitted as an Attorney of the High Court. She
has worked in the Legal profession for (4) four years, it was during this time
that she was able to hone in on her impeccable communication skills, more
specifically Public Speaking.
A combination of assertiveness, excellent articulation and the confidence to
speak “off the cuff” became daily essentials in and out the court room, which
today serve her well in her delivery as she is never shy to confront issues that
others battle to address.
During November 2015, Nontuthuko resigned from her esteemed job as an
Attorney, to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a Professional Public
Speaker. She has now dedicated herself to making a lasting, meaningful
impact in society using her natural abilities to deliver impactful talks with tact,
inspiration and compassion, all the while helping others to ascend to greater
heights and becoming the best version of themselves. Her mission is to inspire
and empower others to be confident communicators in the work place and in
their personal lives.
Nontuthuko is passionate about working with young people, and to this end
has worked closely with the Giving Wings Youth Development Programme,
aimed at equipping learners with the requisite communication skills, and
other necessary life skills in preparation for the working world. Nontuthuko
has spoken at numerous High schools, in an effort to impart the knowledge
and information needed by the learners as they prepare to leave High School.
Nontuthuko has also appeared on DSTV channel 340, where she, alongside a
panel, were interviewed on the effectiveness of our education system,
