Why I became a motivational speaker: young pilot opens up about past failures

Ian Njiraini is a motivational speaker and a pilot. He tells Esther Dianah why he gives free services and why women are an easy target for motivational speakers.

Why is it hard for people to motivate themselves?
When life beats you and you are faced with difficult situations, the emotions brought about are heavy, they dispirit and depress you. The best way to overcome it is by speaking to someone who is wiser, mature or just listen to preaching or motivational speeches. You realise new ways to overcome problems and view them from different angles. You get inspired. You may know what to do, but to get the strength to walk out, they need someone to push, to tell them they  can do it.
