A CONVERSATION ABOUT CULTURE AND UNLOCKING HUMAN POTENTIAL.
Finding your Ikigai
There may not be enough jobs to feed our passions, but there are more than enough opportunities. Japan has been basking in the glory of hosting an amazing Rugby World Cup event recently, and they're likely to pull off another showstopper in 2020 when they host the...
Culture is a Team Sport.
Culture is best when leader led and people driven. If there's one thing that successful sporting teams can teach us, it's that if the team is unable to build a positive internal culture, or spirit they will seldom be cohesive. Even the best coaches in the world...
Can you keep the cult out of culture?
Okay, some of you may think Formula 1 racing is a yawn fest. Astonishingly, some even find watching supremely talented sports stars racing the most technologically advanced cars on the planet around a track at death-defying speeds a tad tedious. For others who don’t...
Emotional Disruption
I was very excited to attend my first ever DisruptHR event a few weeks back in Cape Town, and I have to say I was not disappointed. This global phenomenon has really taken off with events popping up all over the place. I guess you could say its part TEDx and part...
THE RISING OF THE SON – UTCT 2016
What makes UTCT so special for me? It’s the lasting memories as well as the incredible anticipation of what is yet to come. I have been part of UTCT since the very first race in 2014. Originally as a volunteer and then later as a participant from 2015. In each of the...
From zero to Ultra Trail in 6 weeks
UTCT 2015…Wow! I’ve read some great stories of fellow runners right from the front to the back of the field, and in my case as a back of the grid level runner, I only want to share some of my journey to the start and finish line because I think this is such a great...
Koo Fail
One of the Koo taglines is "It's the best you can do..." Mmmm....so when you open you your Creamy Sweetcorn you kinda expect it will be the best you've tasted in a while.....that is I guess, until you realise your tin is full of beans in tomato sauce. The last time...
Second Chance for a First Impression
I’ve always been led to believe you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. Sounds obvious enough and in most cases it’s probably one hundred percent true most of the time. But then again, I’ve also learned over time that although you cannot go back and...
Gratitude is a Gift
Firstly, let me get this off my chest. Thank you, thank you, and finally thank you! Thank you to everyone who made the 2010 world cup a success for South Africa. Thank you to the guys who collected our recycling this morning, and thank you to all the people who write...
A life mission
I believe strongly that a positive psychology approach in life can unlock our potential and help us achieve so-called flow states. I am curious about our purpose as human beings and spend much of my time thinking about how I can help people explore their true potential and amplify their talents. I also get to run trails from time to time in the beautiful mountains of Cape Town.
