Meet the Founder

As one of Uganda’s self-motivated Inspirational Speaker, whose message is rooted in his personal experiences and observations obtained as early as 5yrs of age, Simon Ssenkaayi, (A Household name), is a dynamic personality and highly-sought-after resource in both corporate and non-corporate initiatives, small business owners, non-profit, community leaders and individuals from all walks of life.

Simon Ssenkaayi inspires his audiences to face their challenges, by weaving his personal life story into the fabric of our everyday lives. His story cautions people not to be complacent, but strive to aim high against all odds, to make a difference not just in their lives, but also make this world a better place for humanity. Against all odds, Simon Ssenkaayi has consistently used his understanding and knowledge beyond ‘paid-in’ corporate audiences, but also through radio and television stations inspiring thousands to face their fate, start from where they are and use whatever they can access – to create their desired kind of life.

For more than a decade, he has not only preached the art of starting small and the process of discovering one’s self, but he’s mastered it by relating and associating with prominent corporate business owners and small business owners on a day-today basis translating theory into practical results for his associates.

Today, thousands tune into radio every week, hundreds watch him on TV, YouTube while others interact with him on social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn for their personal queries especially about finding their purpose in life. He has produced various messages on CDs, DVDs and in books in local languages with great concentration on the low-end person that the world usually neglects, mindful that he himself is just a few years removed from similar hardships. Simon Ssenkaayi’s passion and power of words, inspires his audiences to face the huddles of life, while harnessing their greatest God-given potential – hence turning ordinary folks into extraordinary and exemplary, admired and inspirational people within their communities.

Simon Ssenkaayi has spoken in various communities both within and outside Uganda and one catching factor is that he is invited again and again for his touching and powerful message and his ability to relate well with any audience through his life story that resonates with the greatest struggle of all humanity, that is, ‘finding our purpose of existence’. His audience is always moved by his art of breaking down complex and concealed understanding, to simplicity.

Left by his mother forcefully by life’s circumstances at the age of 3, Simon Ssenkaayi grew up being told by those around him how he would never amount to anything in life, and that nothing important would come out of him. However, he knew that his story, was the story of all people: and so, he learnt to close his ears for the noise outside and concentrated on the voice within, and this is the bedrock of his passion, persistence, faith, unyielding hope in who he is and faith to keep on keeping on – going through a lot and doing a lot at a tender age, to become the person he is today. It is these experiences that inspires Simon Ssenkaayi’s commitment to helping people of all ages, to find and tap into their greatest wells of potential, to lead a decent and purposeful life that not only benefits the self, but that which strives to make our world a better place.

Through creeds like, ‘Awaken the Giant in You’, ‘The power of self’ and ‘Turning past into an opportunity’, Simon Ssenkaayi has greatly contributed to national development through empowerment of the ordinary people to better their best and up their game in order to match with the fast-changing world.
