The Space Between Knowing and Doing
In every team, every family, every country… a silence shows up…one that lives right in that narrow passage between what people say they understand and what they actually do. It’s a strange little corridor. You can’t always see it, but you can feel the drag of it. Plans begin with clarity, but the execution lags…

Never lose your student mindset
If I had the opportunity to start over, as in from primary, through secondary and then on to university, I’d be a much better student. I wouldn’t waste time complaining about things I can’t control – like teachers’ personalities, and homework and I’d focus more on learning and being more curious about subjects, even those…

Don’t grow too comfortable with the knowledge you have
Our entire education system is set up with an end in mind: to pass a test following a period of learning, well cramming in most instances; getting our answers right and then moving into the job of our dreams, where we get to use this knowledge we’ve amassed over the years as an indication of…

How will you share your wisdom today?
An Instagram post from Chris Do sparked my interest to research Director Quentin Tarantino. Chris said: I saw a quote by @tarantinoxx that said “I’m making movies for me. Everybody else is invited.” Such a powerful concept from a truly unique voice in cinema. Then he went on to ask: Who are you making content for? In the endless…

do you have all the knowledge you need to build a thriving business?
If you answered “yes” then you are getting the support you need in those places outside your ambit. If you answered “no” that’s a great start because you realize it takes a village LOL. If you answered “yes” but doing everything yourself, I think that you need to re-examine your answer. To build anything well…

why knowledge alone won’t make you successful
Primary school tests, entrance examinations, secondary school tests, matriculation examinations… In preparation, what we did was to study texts and formulae. The more we remembered and regurgitated, the better our score. The more correct answers we were able to give, the greater the possibility that we would be deemed “bright”. If we managed to get…

How do you turn what you know into what you do to get what you truly desire?
Do you need someone to tell you what you need to do next in your life based on where you are? Is it a lack of knowledge? Hardly! Maya Angelou says that when we KNOW better we DO better – but I am not sure that it’s automatic – the doing part. There is a…

Keep the beginner’s mind
Seeing the fractures as the design… We are all probably talking more than ever before in chat groups, on social media. We are stuck at home. The coffee gatherings, the huddle at work…no more. We all need an outlet. Commenting seems to be a way to reestablish our significance. “I have something to say…” “I…

It’s Time to Start Achieving those Goals You’ve Set
You’ve been asked this question before: “What are your goals?” You rattle them off as you would a well-rehearsed poem back when you were in primary school. “Let’s see…I want to renovate my home, I want a little more freedom, I would love to travel and see new places, I definitely want a new car…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
High-stakes decisions deserve disciplined thinking
You don’t need to move faster.
You need to reduce unnecessary risk.
When your decision affects income, reputation, or stability,
pause with structure before you act.
