Yesterday I attended one of the most awesome conferences I have been to in SA – the Destiny Magazine Forum hosted by a remarkable and inspiring woman Khanyi Dhlomo.
The day was about networking, learning and succeeding. However the reason I went was to be in the same room as my life-long spiritual mentor Dr Iyanla Vanzant but I got so much more…. The forum featured Marcus Buckingham on finding your edge, Thebe Ikalafeng on Brand Africa, Phuti Mahanyele on unlocking the youth talent and Kuben Naidoo on Re-making SA.
