Episode 162 | Colleen Benade | Entrepreneur, Healer, Body Talk, Reiki Mar 09, 2021

Show notes

On this episode I chat with Colleen about her healing practice, we talk about the various healing modalities she uses including Body Talk and Reiki.

Colleen is passionate about people and their individual transformation and power. She has been on a personal healing journey for over two decades and, during that process, it has become clear to her that healing needs to be approached from a mind, body and soul perspective.
• Mind: What we think about, our self-talk, belief systems and repeating patterns learned from our family, society and life experiences.
• Body: Our engagement with the physical world, beliefs about the body, as well as emotions and blocks held within the body.
• Soul: Relationship and engagement with the self and with the non-physical.

Money Smart Week South Africa (MSWSA), an initiative of the National Consumer Financial Education Committee (NCFEC), is a financial literacy campaign aimed at motivating and empowering South Africans to become more educated about their finances. MSWSA 2021 is taking place between 22 and 28 March 2021.

The inaugural campaign in 2018 included activities to Mamelodi, Tembisa, Alexandra and Soweto within Gauteng, reaching over 5 500 consumers at various activities and reaching over 9 million people through various media platforms.
With MSWSA 2020 being cancelled due to COVID-19, the MSWSA 2021 campaign aims to reach as many South Africans as possible via small physical events as well as online events to inspire people to become more financially literate and to educate people about the myriad of structures that exist to provide financial advice.

Show notes

On this episode I chat with Mclean about his Journey and his must read book Nuts & Bolts. He is an incredibly inspiring man and his book reflects that and his belief and passion for Africa and its peoples.

Nuts & Bolts is a book about hope; it is full of stories about real people and companies who are making a difference, with testimonies of entrepreneurs, experienced ecosystem builders and innovators. It captures deep insights from the considerable time McLean has spent with entrepreneurs and innovators, on the importance of inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship, and provides a mix of global experiences and entrepreneurship narratives that eloquently sketch out the ‘nuts and bolts’ for entrepreneurship and innovation.

‘I hope this book will be of value to those wanting to make a difference, or be the difference, in solving many challenges faced by our world today, and in developing new products and services to create new market opportunities for a better world.’

ABOUT GAYNOR:

Who is the person behind Typewrite Transcription and Typing Services CC?

I was born on the 21st of March 1975 in Kensington, South Africa, and, with the exception of a few years after I was married in 1996, I’ve lived here my whole life.

I went to school at Leicester Road Primary School and Jeppe Girls High where I matriculated in 1992 with a university exemption and half colours for chess (I was the captain of the chess team and was on the tennis team too).

After studying graphic design for a year, I decided it wasn’t for me and did a secretarial diploma at the then Germiston Technical College (in which I obtained a distinction in Information Processing, a fancy name for typing).

I always had an entrepreneurial flair. During school I sold artwork through advertising in the Top 40 Music Magazine, for R5 a piece! (Lots of drawings of Michael Jackson were done at the time!) I also worked part time in the local Checkers.
