I’m excited share a brand new series on the podcast called ‘My Career Story’. Over the next few episodes, I’ll be profiling women from different walks of life and they will be sharing their career journeys - from where they started, to some of the challenges they have had to overcome and how they got to where they are today.

We’ll be hearing some key lessons on managing imposter syndrome, finding your own voice, climbing corporate ladder, building strong networks and professional relationships all while staying true to yourself.Our first guest is Onkgopotse Khumalo and she is the Founder of The Pocket Couch - a platform dedicated to making mental healthcare more accessible and affordable for all. Onkgopotse has a management consulting background and worked in the financial services industry before venturing into social entrepreneurship.

She is a mother, a social entrepreneur and what she calls “a chronic problem solver” who seeks to use technology to democratise mental healthcare.

The ending of every employee journey in an organisation looks different. Some exits are voluntary, and others are unfortunately involuntary. On the final episode of our series, we discuss what it means to leave on a good note - whether it is through resignations, dismissals, retrenchments, and end of contracts.

Our 5-part series has delved into different HR-related topics to help new and experienced professionals take charge of their careers. These topics cover the employee lifecycle from recruitment to termination.  Boniwe Dunster is an HR Specialist, Facilitator, Coach and Founder of Blue Eagle Human Capital.
