Emotional Intelligence

We all have Emotional Intelligence

Today, upon hearing about my work, a person commented, “Oh, my brother doesn’t have any emotional intelligence.” Ah, yeah. Nah. He does.

The 6Ps: A tool to get anything done!

A cupcake doesn’t make itself. It requires planning. There is a recipe, ingredients, preparations in the form of measuring, melting, mixing, heating of the oven… There’s nothing worse than getting mid-bake and discovering you don’t have enough of a key ingredient.

Other people’s opinions are none of your business

For most of my life, I’ve been told I need to tone myself down, to be less assertive, to be less … something they didn’t like or want to accept about me. My reaction used to be that I would care too much about their opinion of me, it would Read more…

What it takes to be a global leader

It would be erroneous to put one’s leadership style under an umbrella term, like servant or transformational. As a result of globalisation, a leader isn’t ‘or’, they are ‘and.’ They are servant and transformational, and all other leadership nomenclatures. Global leadership requires the leader to be malleable to those they lead and Read more…

Want to get good at something? Get a coach, says Atul Gwanda: Just don’t call me nasty

He called me nasty. It wasn’t a mistake, he repeated it several times. My hurt was immediate and evident, I could feel the tears begin to well. I ended the video call promptly with a “can we discuss this later, I need to take a moment?” A go-to tool I Read more…

Fact vs. Fiction: A Tool to Avoid Assumptions

I believed it to be true, after all, they did that thing and said those words with that tone. It must have been what was intended. But, what proof did I have of their actual intention? So I asked. And as sure as the sky was blue that day I Read more…

Young, Famous, and African: A review (kinda)

Nadia had just told Andile that she’d broken up with her boyfriend, paraphrasing, she said, “I’m sad, but I’m not broken. It’s that conversation I had with you where I feel like men are disposable to me.” As she sweeps her bangs from her forehead, she continues, “And I know Read more…

How to prepare to be your most authentic self on stage

You’re dumb: EQ in action

He called you dumb if you believe the Influencer’s BS: “It’s not easy to make $10k a month online,” said one of my favourite BS-smashing Influencers, Luke Matthews. “Influencers are lying to you, and you are dumb for believing it…” He inspired me to think of a kind way to call Read more…
