Stephen Seki

I am a strong advocate for resilience and transformation, skillfully blending my expertise as a pharmacist with my role as a motivational speaker. My life journey serves as a testament to the remarkable strength of the human spirit, a narrative I am honoured to share in my motivational endeavours.

My story reflects a journey of overcoming adversity. Growing up in humble circumstances, pursuing education felt like a distant aspiration until a pivotal opportunity enabled me to move to the United Kingdom at the age of ten. While this transition offered hope for a brighter future, it also presented significant challenges. Upon arriving in a new country, I embarked on the formidable task of learning English from the ground up and adapting to an unfamiliar education system. With determination and resilience, I not only navigated these challenges but thrived, mastering the language and embracing every educational opportunity that came my way.

In an unexpected turn, I was diagnosed with dyslexia and dyspraxia—conditions that can be perceived as obstacles. However, I reframed these challenges as valuable stepping stones for future success. Through commitment and perseverance, I turned these hurdles into advantages, ultimately excelling in my General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) examinations within five years. This achievement laid a solid foundation for my aspirations.

Fueled by my passion for pharmacy, I remained undeterred by initial setbacks or by others’ doubts. My unwavering determination and commitment to my goals illustrated my dedication to learning and growth.

Today, my mission has never been more straightforward. As a motivational speaker, I share my inspiring journey from my early days as a farmer in Uganda to my current role as a respected pharmacist. My objective is to empower individuals from diverse backgrounds to embrace resilience in the face of challenges and to uncover their remarkable potential.

In addition to my engaging speeches, I offer specialised seminars for corporate clients that explore key themes inspired by my book. These interactive sessions are designed to be enlightening and transformative, featuring workbooks and thought-provoking exercises intended to enrich the experience for all participants. By guiding individuals and teams to reflect on their setbacks, I help uncover the invaluable lessons that emerge from overcoming them.

Through a combination of dynamic keynote addresses and impactful seminars, I am dedicated to educating and inspiring others. My ability to foster positive change in people’s lives reflects my commitment to helping individuals unlock their full potential, both personally and professionally. My story serves as a source of hope and a reminder that success is attainable for anyone willing to rise above their circumstances and strive for their goals. I invite you to join me on this journey of transformation.
