This is the season finale. Season 2 has finally come to an end and this time I wanted to end the season with information sharing. In today's pod-episode I had a conversation with Nozipho Ngoma, who is a Human Resource professional. We spoke about a topic that when I was in corporate I was not comfortable to bring it up with the Human resource team in fear that it might jeopardize my position. So I invited Nozipho to talk about side-hustles or Passion Projects as a working employee and the term we all know, Conflict of Interest. In this episode, she shares with us her HR expertise around this topic. We further touched on the incredible work that her organization (GenZet) is doing for girls in the township. You can find the full part of what GenZet does on Youtube.

We also agreed that to collaborate for Season 3 to bring you short episodes on HR 101 that cover questions you might feel uneasy approaching HR about or just needed more clarity on. You will have to let us know what you would love to hear.

Do give us feedback on what you enjoyed the most about this episode.

Enjoy!

Today's pod-episode left me with aha moments and a deep desire to continue in pursuit of one's true purpose. I am always inspired by women in our country who work tirelessly to effect change and to better the lives of our people. In this conversation, I had the honor to interview a remarkable woman who believes our purpose on this earth is to be of service to each other. I sat down with Dudu Mkhwanazi who is the CEO of Project Isizwe, an NPO which advocates for digital inclusion for low-income communities. In 2017, at just 26 she became the youngest CEO of the organization. Dudu holds a Masters Degree in Public Policy and Comparative Politics from the Universite Montpellier, in France. She does it all while also being a mom to a beautiful girl.

This episode uncovered her journey from Politics to Tech and what she had to quickly learn when she occupied this leadership role. We further touched on the pressure of being the first in the family, motherhood and mental wellness.

Today it’s a very short solo episode, I decided to plug out from working on autopilot and just have a heart and honest conversation with you. I’m talking about the waiting season and why how you define your own success matters. Got to also feature the book by Mark Manson The subtle art of not giving a f@*#, and now that I’ve finally read it I would certainly recommend.

Do enjoy the episode.

In today's pod-episode I had a conversation with Amanda Kandawire-Khoza, to uncover her journey in Aviation. She is a First Officer (Pilot) on the Airbus 380, an entrepreneur and mentor from Soweto. She prefers describing herself as the girl from next-door to showcase that it take no extraordinary person to achieve extraordinary things, anyone can do it really. She is the founder of Fly Like A Girl (FLAG) which is an accessories brand with a message to empower and celebrate our country's rich cultures. 

In our conversation today she shared how having that blind-faith, can-do attitude and believing in your dreams had her achieving one of her greatest dreams, which was to become a pilot. She also shared some of the challenges in getting into aviation and the limiting beliefs one has to unlearn and do away with to survive in aviation.

I do hope you learn a thing or two from this episode. Do enjoy.
