Trying to find your calm in the chaos?

#HelenNicholson

On this episode of the podcast, I sat down with Clinical Psychologist Batetshi Matenge to talk about narcissism in the workplace. In recent years, narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) has gained attention in mainstream media and on this episode we discuss what narcissism is and what it is not to refrain from misdiagnosing/mislabelling certain behavioural traits.

I recently sat down with newly published author and returning guest to the podcast, Dr Ngao Motsei to talk about her latest offering, her book, “Building Psychologically Safe Spaces: Safeguarding Your Workplace Against Bullying”.

On this episode of #MyCareerStory, I sat down with development economist and career coach, Sibahle Magadla to talk to her about how she has built a sustainable career as a development economist.

And we're back!

As we close out season 2 of #MyCareerStory, I sat down with award-winning Clinical Psychologist and Founder of Journal Cue, a platform dedicated to providing mental health tools for everyday wellness.

On this week's episode of #MyCareerStory, I sat down with seasoned corporate affairs leader and sustainable development practitioner, Mandisa Mathobela.

Mandisa holds a Masters degree in International Trade and Investment Policy and is passionate about socio-economic transformation, realizing the SDGs and the critical role of public-private partnerships.

On this episode, Mandisa talks about how she has transitioned from financial services in private sector and into the NPO space, working as a Partnerships Manager for Unicef. She speaks about her diverse career background and how her passion for sustainable impact has led to the various pivots in her journey.
