Charlene Chikomo best Motivational Speakers
Q Mr. Charline Chikomo what is it that you do everday that helps you stay focused and inspired? What is your unique value proposition? I t’s more of what I have been through and who I am than what I do daily to keep myself motivated. I have been through some of the most challenging times in life that I can always say,” Forward ever backward never.”That forms the more significant part of my source of inspiration, for the idea is still to change my life for the better. My life is something that the majority of Zimbabwean and the African child share, and that has made me so relevant in the market for I do not speak something from the books but that I know and no one can take that away from me. It also goes to my ability to turn my mess into a message and my tears into a testimony that is more, I am a very spiritual person, and I strongly believe in God’s plans upon my life than what people say. Therefore, I do not care about all the negative energy from the people, nor do I get easily carried away by the kind comments from people. I care much for competence and influence than I do with popularity. Not forgetting the fact that I do not get demotivated by my failure for, “Loss of a battle does not signal the end of the war but is a step towards success.” Q Congratulations on your published books, can you tell us a little bit more about what you really write about and what inspired you tostart writing? I never dreamt of myself as a writer, nor even am I the most qualified person to write. However, when it’s necessary, and when the socalled most qualified are not doing it, we take up the initiative to help our people. It all started during my primary education in Gutu at Shenjere Primary School. The shortage of textbooks was one of the biggest problems in rural communities. With that being said, I had an opportunity to go to the urban areas where there was still a problem of textbooks but far much better than the rural areas where 50 students could read one book. Having managed to get 20 points at my advanced level, I started to write textbooks. I wrote Advanced History Level 1 and 2 as well as Family and Religious studies handouts. The idea is all about helping the students not to face the same problem we faced. The generation before us did a lot for us, so we are duty-bound to help the age coming after us. The Duce Tutoring theme is, “Educate them to educate others,” and that is precisely what we are doing. I am working on many motivational books like “An appointment With My Destiny”, “Unquestionable Dominion”, Trusting The Process”, and “Start Before You Start”. The idea is to continue to inspire the generations to come and remind them that the good things that they want are all hidden inside them. Even more, interestingly, I know not the day I shall breathe my last breath of life neither will I go to all the places in the world, but my books shall live forever, and they shall go where I can not go. Q Charline, most young people nowadays are lost in the system, they don’t know exactly what they want in life. What’s your advice to young people out there who are scared to materialize their dreams? T he only thing to fear is fear itself. People do not invest in people or give attention to people, but what is in them. Anyone who needs someone in their business or life requires nothing but what they carry. The problem of many young people is trying to fit in instead of being unique and trying something new. We need to think outside the box. There is a lot hidden in us, and that is why we need to discover it rather than just joining races already started by other people. To all the young people out there, start your race that you understand and invite them!! You are the one the world has been waiting for. Necessity is the mother of invention, and there is nothing that can be created without a purpose. It is the purpose that gives birth to creation. Meaning to say, before you cry for a seat on the table, try to find out if you can not create your schedule. The young people are all confused because they do not understand the system. It’s time to create things that we know and enjoy doing. Fear is the language of the weaker. Never be afraid of failure. Start and take your failure as a lesson. A journey of a million kilometers begins with a step, the sooner you take the first step the better. Last but not least, have a vision. Life without a vision is like a car without a handle, it can move, but it’s uncontrollable. You can live without a vision, but you will lack authority over your life.

Q Where do you see yourself in the next five years? T he next five years will mark eight years since we started DuceTutoring. We pledged to make sure that every year we impact the lives of 5000 young people. Therefore in 5 years, we are expected to be not only the most popular organization but also the most impactful organization with the membership of around 40-50000 members. The idea is also to create an academy that is going to be teaching the youths the 21st-century skills so that instead of producing more job seekers, the youths can start to think of creating their startups. Instead of learning theories and numbers, the youths should begin to learn more about the skills that can help them to survive in the African economies. Personally, the idea is to be one of the most exceptional speakers, authors, community leader, and a role model to many. I do not just want to be famous, but effective.
