Black professional women face the dual challenge of belonging to two minority groups that are traditionally undervalued and underpaid in the workplace. Black women are forced to conquer dual challenges in the workplace as members of two minority groups. Women have been trying to break away from norms and standards set by society. They have been marching for equal rights and fighting for their rightful place in the world. Black women find themselves with the challenge of overcoming cultural, racial, and gender differences, stereotypes as well as biases. For more on this exciting topic please go to our page here.

In today's podcast, I'm speaking to Mmabatho Takallo, who works for Michael Page South Africa about how to get a promotion. Michael Page is a specialist recruitment organisation with branches in different parts of the world.

She shares that a promotion or career progression depends on how ambitious you are. It's not just about your skillset and qualifications.

One needs to be proactive in their workplace and go after what they want because things are not going to be handed to you. Don't shy away from venturing out - empower yourself by moving beyond your comfort zone, and last but not least, believe in yourself and have confidence in your skills and abilities. Enjoy this insightful change conversation.

In today's episode, I spoke to Phiona Martins an Industrial Psychologist and Career Coach.

What the Podcast covers; fear is a normal emotion that everyone experiences. The best way to get over your fear is to feel it and work through it, don't numb it or try to run away from it. Exposing yourself to your fear, starting with something small, that you are able to handle and work through, can help you build confidence and ultimately help you get over your fear. Having a positive outlook and seeing setbacks as opportunities leaves room for endless possibilities. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

In today’s episode, I chat with Busi Selesho a Money Coach. Busi shares some very profound insights that speak to how we relate with money and what it is we understand our self-worth to be and the value we put on ourselves. Some of the nuggets that stand out in today's conversation include: Value is not about what you know, but who you are and value overrides everything you think you need to be. It is key that as a person, you unearth any limiting beliefs you may have and shift the focus away from what you can’t do, and cultivate your talents as well as the skills you are good at.

In our Change Conversation today, we look at defining confidence and arrogance. I enlisted the help of Khethiwe Phakathi, a Confidence Coach. We sat down to analyse these two terms that most of us may have no full knowledge of what they really mean.

According to Khethiwe, the definitions of arrogance and confidence actually rest on two very different ideas.  For more insights on confidence and arrogance, dive right in and indulge yourself.
