    In My Own Words, with Verity Price

    In My Own Words, with Verity Price I am a former professional singer turned speaker and facilitator with a story to tell. After becoming one of the world's first online crowd-funders when I pre-sold 2000 copies of my debut album back in 2005, I unexpectedly became far more famous for thinking differently than I did for singing. As a result, I have spent the last twelve years facilitating and speaking on strategy, innovation and positive mindset for multiple organizations and industries.  With a degree in Psychology and Anthropology from UCT and as a De Bono accredited strategic and lateral thinking facilitator, I have worked with multi-national teams across South Africa and Europe. I've been lucky enough to speak at twice at TEDx and am also a Distinguished Toastmaster and the Southern African champion of Evaluations (2015) and World Champion Public Speaking (2021)! My passion is helping change the world one idea and one happy team at a time. I love to work with organizations to inspire their staff, align strategic direction, solve old problems, uncover new ideas and gain a competitive edge in their industries.

    In My Own Words with Nicky Abdinor: If you got the drive, the destination is up to you

    Two Nick Vujicic quotes come to mind when I think of Nicky: “Life isn't about having, it's about being,” and “I never met a bitter person who was thankful or a thankful person who was bitter.” Nicky Abdinor was born without arms and shortened legs, but that did not stop her from becoming an Inspirational Speaker and Clinical Psychologist. Nicky is also a professional member of PSASA. Her registered non-profit organisation, Nicky's Drive, aims to fund car adaptations for people with disabilities in South Africa. Nicky credits her parents with instilling in her a mindset of not “Can I do this?” but “How can I do this?” This podcast is presented by Charles Hsuan from Flying Kite
