🌟 #MondayMotivation: Embracing Progress, Defying Defeat 💪⚽ Hello, South African Champions! 🇿🇦✨ This Monday, let's draw inspiration from the unyielding spirit of Bafana Bafana at Afcon 2024. Their journey reminds us that true victory lies not just in winning but in the relentless pursuit of progress. 🥉 A Bronze Tale: Bafana Bafana's bronze medal is more than an accolade; it's a testament to their unwavering commitment and resilience. Similarly, in your pursuits, remember that progress is a triumph in itself, no matter how small. 🇿🇦 Our Collective Spirit: Coach Hugo Broos and our local talents showcased the essence of our South African spirit—bold, determined, and proud. Regardless of the challenges you face, embody this spirit. Your journey is part of our collective story. 🌍 Beyond the Win: Bafana Bafana's journey teaches us that winning championships doesn't define victory. It's about the lessons learned, the growth experienced, and the indomitable will to keep pushing forward, even in the face of adversity. 👥 Unity in Progress: In the true spirit of Ubuntu, let's stand united in celebrating each other's progress. As the nation rallied behind Bafana Bafana, support those around you in their journeys. Every step forward is a victory for the entire community. 💡 Cherish the Process: Progress is a journey, not just a destination. Embrace the challenges, savour the lessons, and celebrate the small victories. The road to success is paved with determination, and every step forward adds to the mosaic of your personal achievement. 🌈 Building a Legacy: As we navigate the week, remember that your story, like Bafana Bafana's, contributes to the larger narrative of our nation. Keep pushing, keep striving, and let your progress become a beacon of inspiration for others. #NeverGiveUp #EmbraceProgress #MondayMotivation #SouthAfricanSpirit #Resilience #CollectiveJourney Picture courtesy of News24.

Here is a story about the first women in Formula 1 racing.

Ahh, the life of a Change Manager. If you think it’s all about guiding others through the change curve, think again. Spoiler alert: we ride that emotional rollercoaster too, and sometimes (all the time) we get front-row seats to the 'valley of despair'.   How ironic! Here we are, the so-called 'experts' in navigating change, yet we find ourselves grappling with the same feelings along with everyone else. It’s like being a tour guide who occasionally gets lost but still manages to find the way back with a smile (and maybe a few extra grey hairs).   Yesterday I listened to AECOM’s President, Lara Poloni, and ANZ Chief Executive, Mark McManamny, highlight the progress we’ve made on our Sustainable Legacies strategy. From creating a culture and framework from which to orient ourselves, to the tangible outcomes on projects - it’s all a testament to everyone’s dedication, resilience, and persistence.   It's given me an opportunity to reflect on the last few years working as part of the transformation program team for Sustainable Legacies. As a Change Manager, the opportunity to collaborate with the best and brightest, help solve complex challenges and witness the moment when someone (including me) crawls out of the 'valley of despair', are what drives me. It's a fantastic feeling hearing your leaders speak so proudly of something you've been part of. Especially when at times the journey has thrown you a curve ball (or five).    Change efforts for programs such as Sustainable Legacies are never truly finished. But it's like climbing a mountain and finally reaching a viewpoint where you can see the breathtaking landscape below. Onwards and upwards!

A powerful reminder. Focus on what really matters 💜

DBS and he are partnering up to galvanise youth to believe in themselves and pursue their aspirations, even if it means taking the path less travelled. The four-and-a-half-year partnership was announced ahead of Maeder's debut at the Paris Olympic Games. Maeder is currently a two-time and current world champion kitefoiler and an Asian Games gold medalist. The partnership is part of DBS' commitment to work with its stakeholders to spark change and make a positive impact. During the interview, Gupta has made Maeder see how his humble efforts in kitefoiling relates to the bank's culture. 🌟 “I’m very impressed by how young Maeder is driven by an unwavering sense of purpose and by how much he has achieved on the world stage." 🌟 "His drive to do better, combined with hard work and determination, resonates with all of us at DBS, young and old alike." 🌟 Likewise, Maeder has learnt that in navigating the wind and waves, being mentally prepared for uncertain and changing conditions, coupled with the joy he feels while kitefoiling, will also prepare him well to lead a team in the corporate world. This is embodiment in the spirit of determination, resilience and never giving up.

It's the Second Half: Time to Reflect and Refocus Afripreneurs do not rest. The first half came with its setbacks, wins, and challenges. For me, it was a class, I learnt a lot, and now it's time to practice. Let's consolidate our wins and turn challenges into championship material, setbacks into step-ups. Our greatest achievements often come after our toughest battles. As an avid sports follower with soccer as my pastime, I have marvelled at how Pep Guardiola, from his days at Barcelona to now at Man City, consistently comes back tactically stronger. His ability to read opponents and respond solidly is something we can all learn from. Let's embrace this genius and his methodological approach in our businesses this second half. As Proverbs 16:3 reminds us, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. Let's focus our energy on hitting those targets, seizing opportunities, and making a positive impact. Together, let's make the second half of this year our best yet #SecondHalf #GrowthMindset
