Motivational Speaking


Having shown great interest in the art of public speaking from a very early age, Jamal has spent most of his life developing this skill.


He however considers public speaking as his prized platform for sharing messages of hope with audiences that are more likely to respond to the spoken word.


Over the years, he has served as keynote speaker at numerous graduation and prize giving ceremonies, and has chaired international forums on Land & Property Rights.


He has also made presentations before audiences at The World Bank, United Nations, and numerous international and regional conferences.


“Reality will hit us with such a forceful punch if we ever for a moment believe that qualifications and accolades are standalone conditions for success.” – Jamal Browne


Writing & New Media


Jamal is an avid writer and blogger, and is currently working on his first major publication – set to be released in 2017. While his proficiency as a writer has been refined through years of formal tuition, a keen eye for detail, and an acutely creative mind, his exposure to courses in Journalism, Film Production, and Broadcasting has brought life to a hidden flair for new media.
