    The XL Extraordinary Lives Award is presented to one of XL's 3000 Members from around the world that has 
been an inspiration to others and who has contributed back to society in a meaningful way. The Award, which was

theology, neurology and physiology. He was one of the featured philosopher/teachers in the world renowned hit 
movie, "The Secret" and is considered foremost in the field of philosophy, transformation and expanding global 
consciousness. 
 
    The Demartini Institute is focused on personal and professional development with a vision of reaching and 
empowering millions of students across every level of society throughout Africa. The Institute has a strong focus on 
expanding Dr Demartini's work into the communities which is being achieved with sponsored seats on his seminars 
as well as pro-bono workshops and talks presented in the communities. 
 
    The two award runners-up are Getrude Matshe from New Zealand and Bruce Muzik from the United Kingdom. 
 
    Getrude Matshe is a speaker, author and philanthropist -- born and raised in Zimbabwe and now living in 
Wellington, New Zealand. She is the founder of the Africa Alive Education Foundation, which provides education, 
health and family support services for HIV positive children and young adults in rural and impoverished

and other vulnerable children for social, educational and economic advancement. 
 
 
    Bruce Muzik is a talented musician, who now manages and runs his own seminar and consulting company in the 
UK. Bruce, who was raised in South Africa, gives back to communities in his home country in several ways, which 
include sponsoring a rural business school and providing free education for South Africans who do not have the 
resources or funds for study.
