I Guess I’m a Motivational Speaker is not a manual on how to speak—it’s a journey of discovering purpose in unexpected places. From dusty construction foundations to a Master’s degree; from radio studios to crowded boardrooms, Thulani Yeyeye Gumede has learned that motivation is less about commanding crowds and more about igniting individuals. In these pages, he shares stories, lessons, and truths drawn from everyday struggles and victories, showing how life itself shapes ordinary people into extraordinary voices. If you’ve ever doubted your calling, this book will remind you: sometimes life chooses the speaker. You are chosen for what is already installed in you.
