We’re at the tail-end of Women’s Month in South Africa, that one month in the year when government and organisations bring on the women empowerment rhetoric. My mother taught me to ‘practice what you preach’. Sadly, not everyone got that memo. Last night’s webinar, a Women’s Month series hosted by Towela from my ‘mommy network’,……
There’s a meme doing the rounds: “’Once Covid-19 is over’ is starting to sound a lot like ‘When I win the lotto’”. After having a fleeting chuckle about it yesterday, sharing with a few and moving on as we always do with the memes that are as common as daylight, it unwittingly planted roots in……
I remember a time, my 20s and early 30s, when things were really chaotic. I interpreted it as ‘exciting’. The rear view is always clearer; it was actually a dark period in my life. I radiated confusion and the Universe dutifully responded. The law of attraction, the most powerful natural law. This thought was triggered……
By now, we’ve all attended at least one webinar. If you haven’t, you will soon. I see them as ‘mini inspiration series’ to give us a sense that we’re all still connected and above all, to keep us inspired. That’s what we’re all looking for. According to Merriam-Webster, inspiration is the “action or power of……
We’re 100 days in and Covid-19 has proved that not only can we survive, but we can thrive on less. This is not great for an economy built on materialism, pushing mass consumption of things we don’t really need but ‘have to have’. I can’t change that, but I’m encouraged by some of the indicators……
The tourism and hospitality sector has always been reliant on travel, human connection and experience. In the aftermath of Covid-19, it will have to navigate its way around stringent health and safety protocols and social distancing. Has the human element and experiential attraction been removed from travel and tourism forever? What will inspire us to……
There is one thing that business has had to learn very quickly over the past couple of months. People are their most valued asset. Without people, whether onsite or remote, businesses are dead in the water. Covid-19 has brought home the significance of the human element in economies around the world. If you were never……
There are a few things that I started questioning, long before any sign of Covid-19, which were always received with some variation of “we can’t do that, it won’t work”. Now, the virus has fertilised the ground for these seeds to take root and grow. One of my first realisations is that our lifestyle needs……
Those in the know say that our kids’ education today must be premised on equipping them to ask questions, to probe, to discover and ultimately, be creative and innovate. No rote learning allowed. There are robots for that. How about the same for us? We must actively question the status quo. Especially when the Universe……
That’s a mantra most communicators around the world understand. Those of us holed up with partners and children have been given enough airtime. Let’s take a moment to send virtual hugs to our brothers and sisters who, for whatever reason, are without a significant other in their home environment. You may be feeling lonely and……
