Sheree Broomhall, sharing her thoughts around her journey to becoming a SoulKids® Mentor (as well as a Rockstar!*)

Tell me about yourself? 


I work in learning and development in the corporate world, and have always been interested in self-development and learning about what makes us tick. When I read about the SoulKids^® course I thought what an amazing opportunity to be part of educating our future leaders and arming them with invaluable life skills. 

What do you like about SoulKids^® mentor training? 


I loved how straightforward and enjoyable the training was. Vikas taught complex concepts, which physiology studies take years to learn in a very straightforward, fun way that will stay with me forever.

How has the training influenced you? 

It has definitely made me more aware of my thoughts and provided huge insight into the way we function.

What has been the most inspiring lesson for you?  


Seeing the children soak up the stories and lessons, they are like sponges and pick up the lessons so quickly. It’s amazing.

How do you think the children will benefit from SoulKids^®? 


The biggest gift for the children is having these amazing life lessons at such an early age, on how they can live a positive life and what they put into life they will get back, they need to work hard, be focused and apply themselves. I wish everyone could learn this wisdom. 

*According to the SoulKids^® children, Sheree is a ROCKSTAR!

A Different Perspective!

After the successful SoulKids Self-Confidence workshop which was held at the beginning of June, we received these comments from Justin and his mum.


Justin, 14
"SoulKids was fun and meaningful. The lessons were told in the form of fun, simple, meaningful and easy to remember stories. It sticks with you."

At the end of the 2-day program, my son, Justin told me that he might want to be a SoulKids Mentor. What a difference two days made! My 14 year old acknowledged the value of the program and felt that "young children should learn this stuff."

Being an articulate and well-read boy, Justin's specialty was in coming up with 101 reasons why something would not work, but after the program, Justin became more positive, and less argumentative. To quote Justin: "The stories really made the lessons stick."

I have now put two of my children through the SoulKids program already. Knowing all the stories myself, my children and I now have an additional common language. Instead of lecturing, I now bring up the relevant stories and they complete the lessons themselves. No more need to shout.

I was looking for a new challenge and came across an article in Expat Living talking about the experience of being a children’s mentor.  I came along for a free talk held by Vikas Malkani, one of the founding members of SoulCentre®, Singapore and was inspired to sign up for a six month training programme. Along the way I learned a lot about myself which helped not only my own personal development but also my relationship with my young son. 

The culmination of the training programme was to help run a Soulkids® workshop over two days.  Whilst I admit to being apprehensive (if not truly terrified!) at the thought of trying to ensure that almost 60 children had a fun, informative and transformational weekend, the end result was, in the words of Soulkids® themselves, truly AWESOME!!!

To see the changes in the children as they blossomed from shy, self conscious individuals into the self confident, happy, friends that emerged at the end of the two days was truly a joy.  It was a privilege to be part of the team that helped with the children’s transformation and I can’t wait for the next one!!
