“Just like what my friend Ralph, once said, ‘Motivation can be created or re-sparked by looking at one’s goals, assessing the stakes of achieving those goals and creating milestones as well as personal rewards for gaining progress. We are happy that 2017 taught us a lot and good thing we started planning for 2018,” he said. He said this year they want to involve a lot of sponsorship and different venues to accommodate everyone.

“Motivation is for everyone and this year we are spreading wings to different parts of Harare as startup point though we will also engage youths from outside Harare. Our next session is on February 24 and we already in talks with some of the reputable speakers and young influencers,” he said.

Asked why they chose to use music and dialogue on the session, he said both of them have the power to shape a society. Session host Kadurira added that in a society where everything is changing day in day out, motivation is important because it provides the drive for people to accomplish their goals, maintain their responsibilities or solve problems.
