Our guest today is Lily Woi, Executive Leadership Coach and an introvert herself,  is sharing her wisdom on how to become successful as an introvert in an extroverted world. 

Lily's Journey

“I reshaped my career by 180 when I hit my limit and could not imagine living another day of not achieving my full potential. My journey is serving as an inspiration to many people, from naively letting my company mould me into another corporate consultant to breaking free, taking charge of my career and carving out a role for myself in my company that fits my passion”.

“I get how hard it is to put in a lot of effort, try your best to succeed in your career and still feel you're not seeing the outcomes you want. I am fortunate that after years of experience, many failures, a lot of self-reflection, support from mentors, plenty of hard work and a bit of luck, I got to the other side. Not everyone had the same fortune".

Our guest today is Mpume Ncube-Daka, who is the Founder & CEO of Change Conversation and corporate-level coach.

But before then that… in Mpume Words:

“I love change. The only thing I love more than change is change conversations, mostly because of what follows in people’s careers when powerful discussions take place. People grow, they succeed, and ultimately, their lives change.

I earned my stripes in the corporate world, experiencing the entire array of career steps from joining as a graduate to rising in the ranks, not getting promotions and being told I wasn’t visible enough. And then rising up again to reach the top of my game at JSE-listed entities as well as multinational businesses. 

Today I am a corporate-level coach, and my joy is in growing dreams, inviting innovation, entering the world of entrepreneurship, and creating clear, achievable business strategies. 

Let’s have a conversation, preferably one about change".

Would you life to change your life and the world at the same time but think the two things together are impossible? Are you part of GEN Z and think that the only options you have are to get a high paid job you hate or a meaningful job with a low pay? 
There are other options and you can discover them by listening to this episode. 

Our guest today is Seven Jacobs, Founder of StartrHub, which is creating a learning and networking ecosystem for today's entrepreneurs. 

But before then that… in Seven Words:

“When I was 18, I was at a crossroads. 

I desperately wanted to make the world a better place. I desperately wanted to make my life better too, after a life of crippling social, financial, and mental health issues. 

But I thought changing my life and the world at the same time was impossible. Perhaps I’d need a high paying job I’d hate.

But I got lucky. I was asked to support with an entrepreneurial project delivering a mentoring programme for Nando’s. Through that, an org I was involved with gave me a copy of a book one of it’s co-founders (Holly Branson) co-authored, called WEconomy. I took it with me while I lived in a mountaintop village in Nepal for a few months. There, totally out of my comfort zone and in a much more basic environment, I learned about something that changed my life: Social entrepreneurship.

I thought changing my life and changing the world at the same time was impossible. But here was something giving me the exact formula for it! 

My life ever since has been all about changing the world through sustainable, socially-minded innovations”.

Our guest today is Scott Johnson Managing director of The Proper Blokes Club.

In Scott's words:

"The Proper Blokes Club (TPBC) started in September 2020 with a simple Facebook page. It showed videos of me walking around my favourite local spots, talking about the issues I’ve had in the past, and seeing if any local lads could resonate with how I was feeling, and hopefully get something out of it. It reminded me that I was not alone in this struggle.

After a couple of months and a break in lockdown, we were allowed to meet in groups. So I decided to put the word out on the local Facebook groups to see if anyone would like to join me on a walk and talk. One lad turned up and it’s grown weekly since. At this point, we currently have three locations, which are in Southwark, Greenwich, and Wallington (London), and we are still growing.

The quick growth of the group has shown me that this is something that is really needed in all communities.

Today Scott is going to talk about his career, his mission with The Proper Blokes Club, and the importance of mental health for men.

Our guest today is Staci Wallace, CEO of the Fueled by Fire Mastery Program and Elite Mastermind and Founder of the non-profit organization EMwomen, which rescues and restores the lives of women and girls who have gone through some of life’s most difficult challenges.

 In Staci words:

"I've been incredibly blessed to write 8 books, share the stage with 5 U.S. Presidents, help scale companies from scratch to 9-figures. But when I tell you HOW all of that was possible, it will blow your mind and give you hope that if it can happen for me, IT CAN HAPPEN FOR YOU TOO!

I have also lived through multiple battles that have tried to strip me of my joy and derail my peace. But whether it was the loss of our home in a fire, the death of a loved one, suicidal depression, abuse, business failure, multi-million dollar lawsuits, or simple industry rejection.....I have refused to give up and have learned that my journey prepared me to become a better version of myself". 

Today Stacy is going to talk about her career and life journey, how to make your business thrive and why empowered women empower women.
