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.

  • 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…

  • Ready to Scale? The One Question Every Business Owner and Executive Leader Needs to Ask First

    I left the Edge Leadership session feeling grateful. So much wisdom was shared. Diverse perspectives. Hard-won insights. Useful reminders about how we lead, what leadership demands, and where our work needs to go next. There were a few questions after Vusi Thembekwayo’s keynote, and he responded like the coach that he is—with more questions. Questions…

  • The Hidden Costs of “I’ll do it” Leadership

    Every time a leader says “I’ll just do it,” a little bit of clarity, trust, and team momentum quietly slips away. The Upper Limit Problem, a concept introduced by Gay Hendricks, refers to a subconscious self-sabotaging behavior that occurs when individuals approach a level of success, happiness, or abundance that exceeds their comfort zone. This often leads…

  • Do you believe…

    Regardless of the circumstance, belief ALWAYS has to come first. If you don’t truly believe it’s possible for you, then you won’t invest your time and energy into making it happen. Half of the work to be done is having faith in yourself to show up and do what’s necessary. It is about remaining open…

  • Are You Willing to be Completely at Peace with How Things are Right Now in your Life?

    I’m currently reading ‘The Dance’ by Oriah Mountain Dreamer but this is not a book that I’m reading in chapter order. Instead I’ve been letting a Higher Power guide me  – opening the book randomly – and reading whatever is being offered in that moment. Today’s reading started with the question above. I opened the…

  • Are Your Investments Generating a Dividend or Loss?

    Whenever we talk about investments, we’re usually talking about money. Many of us know that we need to save money, invest wisely and reduce our debt. Few have a concrete strategy for saving and reducing debt and almost no strategy regarding investing. While many of us would like to change the RESULTS in our lives,…
