About Shem
“I sought the Lord and He directed my paths”
These are the words I want written on my epitaph. After reading Steven Covey’s 7 habits of highly effective persons I listed what was truly important in my life; God, Family, Me, Work and Charity. Relentless focus on this led me to quit my Electrical Engineering job after 7 years, 7 months and 7 days in the petrochemical Industry and pursue a path of Entrepreneurship and Purpose.
Shem conducts workshops and speaks on the topic of Entrepreneurship.

A recap of U.S. Embassy Trinidad and Tobago’s recent entrepreneurship speaker program on making a global name out of an idea.
Making an Impact during the 2019 Pandemic
To transform a society you first have to transform its mind. Entrepreneurship is not gifted at birth it is learned, practiced and refined. It is a way of life, a way of thinking, it is a paradigm.
Have a new idea? Expanding an existing initiative? Need my thoughts?
Trying to change a narrative? Trying to change a society? Trying to inspire transformation?
Want to influence your audience? Want to share your brand with the world?
