14 August - Woman in business...

I shared the stage with women who are CEO's of companies (Yolanda Cuba, Patricia Norris),
MBA graduates (Ziggy Owei) and national media icons (Patricia Glynn) -
it was daunting and so exciting at the same time to realise that my
story is worth of such great company. Delivering my 40 minute talk on
thinking out the box and doing things differently I became aware of how
powerful this journey has been. That it has not just been about
creating an album, but has actually become a flagship project for
possibility and innovation to inspire other people to see how they can
approach their dreams in a fresh and new way. I finished my talk with
"Shine" and had the 200 women attending the conference up and singing
"I'm going to shine" over and over again. It felt amazing to hear them
all affirming that right for themselves!
The MBA students that organized the events blew me away with how they pulled everything together and at the end of the day they had raised R70,000 for a bursary fund for women who cant afford MBA fees. I loved every minute of the event and gained so much value from the other speakers as well. I am thouroughly enjoying all this speaking at the moment and it awesome that every event creates the opportunity for more people to become future owners - 30 more who joined me after this one!
