Beck has also developed a passion for South Africa, and has adopted The Learning Center at Londolozi– a school that serves the local village people. “I am incredibly honored that the people of South Africa resonate with my books and articles. As a result, I’ve spoken in many public forums there, from the O Magazine South Africa Fifth Anniversary Celebration, to organizations that support people with disabilities and their families, to corporate audiences. South Africa has become one of my favorite places on earth. Its people, their land, and their spirit have immeasurably blessed me.” —Martha Beck
Topics Martha delivers inspiring, hilarious and energetic keynote presentations. She has a discussion with the event hosts during a 15-20 minute conference call to determine which of the above topics would be the best fit for the audience coming to the presentation. Martha does not typically use any handout materials. Instead, she engages the audience in a more direct way, without props or distractions, and the result is a much more personal, conversational tone. Excellent references are available.
