The week that was 03082019

PROUDEST | MOST GRATEFUL MOMENT

I am so grateful for the coverage that we received on the Entrepreneur and Bizcommunity sites this week. Winet Fourie, reputation specialist on our team wrote a great article on the important role that CEOs play when it comes to building a reputation as well as a few tips for them on taking reputations to the next level. 

Heading back to Pretoria after a long day of meetings in Johannesburg yesterday, I was reminded how incredibly grateful I am that our virtual office set up works.

BIGGEST LESSON THIS WEEK

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

THIS WEEK I FINISHED READING...

This  was my first Deon Meyer book. I really enjoy good Afrikaans reads. Thoroughly enjoyed this one and look forward  to reading his other books too.

WHAT MADE ME GIGGLE
