Welcome

My vision is to Inspire 1 million people to live positive, action-orientated lives throughout the world.

I believe that my unique life’s journey and the experience that I’ve gained along the way have led me to find my purpose of empowering people so that they can take control of their lives and create their own reality.

About Me

Nick Smit

Professional Speaker

A teacher by profession and passion which has led me into the public speaking and training arena. I have presented a variety of workshops to an array of audiences – schools, universities and companies. Some of the topics are Maths related, however, most relate to the power of the mind, Growth Mindset and overcoming challenges.

I am part of the PSASA (Professional Speakers’ Association of South Africa) and run two companies – Straight A Tutors which assists children from Grade 0 to Grade 12 and Smergos which develops accessories for people with disabilities as well as aims to break down the barriers between those with and those without disabilities by hosting a range of online and live events.

Nick is a talented Speaker, Storyteller, and Facilitator. I have been lucky enough to see him do exceptionally well in all three of these roles... The most recent example was for the Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa, Speaker Factor Competition, which he won and received a standing ovation from a room of professional Speakers.
