Since I started working with Sylvia I have learnt so much about finances. It’s all about how simply she can make it all sound and the patience she has while doing so. Professional and accessible, she goes the extra mile.
Sylvia hosted a series of workshops “Money Matters” at our Head Office as an employee assistance training to equip staff to make informed decisions about their money. The series of workshops covered finding our own attitude to money, debt, retirement and investing. It was a pleasure working with Sylvia, she was an engaging workshop facilitator and the feedback from the staff who have attended has been very positive.
As part of Cape Town City Libraries Library Week Programme, we at Southfield Library hosted an author talk. We invited Sylvia Walker to come and speak about her life journey and how she came to write Smart Woman. The talk was polished, professional and excellently presented to an attentive audience. She brought copies of her books along and signed copies for those who bought books from her.
We at Southfield Library are very grateful that she took time out of her busy schedule to come and speak at our function.
I had the pleasure of hosting Sylvia Walker at our Hyde Park Store, Luminance, for the launch of her latest book, smartwoman. When I met her for the first time, I was struck by her passion and deep-seated beliefs around her area expertise. She speaks from the heart and has a genuine desire to inspire and empower people to create financial freedom and independence for themselves.
Understanding the difference between smart and not so smart financial decisions and one’s individual money personality and subsequent relationship with money, provides valuable food for thought, sparking healthy discussion and debate long after one has listened to Sylvia speak. She questions what we believe and challenges us to find a new better way with our money.
The evening was a resounding success and the ladies queued up to buy their own copy of smartwoman. It is a great honour to be associated with this book and with Sylvia as a speaker.
Sylvia took us on a profound journey to understand our connection to money which was a very insightful and learning opportunity. Her knowledge on this topic is unquestionably extensive. Sylvia’s style of facilitation is inclusive, extremely enlightening and useful.
Her sessions are interesting, informative and entertaining, as she uses humour in a way that allows people to identify with different situations and to remember key concepts. She has the great ability to make her audience feel at ease whilst at the same time, challenging their beliefs and attitudes around money. With her natural and easy style, she makes financial planning and investing something one actually looks forward to doing!
It’s always a real pleasure to listen to Sylvia Walker speak on this subject.
By the looks on the audience faces to the shift in posture in their seats, it was evident that Sylvia’s talk surely shifted minds.
It is a no-nonsense, straight talk and no quick fix approach that gave practical ways to get rid of debt, stay out of debt and create wealth.
Thank you Sylvia for aligning and contextualising your talk that shared insight into money matters of the Single Parent.
