    Season 1 Summary

    This first season, running between mid October and mid December was (1) meant to give an overview for your 2024 goal setting and (2) mine and Vicky’s first podcast experience. We have hundreds of fans across different platforms, have created a digital trail and we hope this becomes a good reference for Africans and the world.  What comes next is we hope you grab your pen and paper, literal or digital. For most of us, the days will slow down as we approach Christmas. Take a day or two spread across this season to reflect as guided in the episodes. You can listen again to the specific episodes. Most importantly, write things down and get to your 2024 goals before the year starts. That way, you start the year with a bang, with mission, passion and commitment

    Personal Growth

    Is not all we do personal growth? Then why have specific goals in this goals category? We delve into what personal growth is, why its important and how to get started.  To quote Robin Sharma, “To double your income, you need to triple your investments in professional capability and personal mastery”

    Personal Branding

    We understand why corporations brand. Think Coca Cola and Pepsi and the brand professionals that keep corporate brands alive. But why would we want to invest in personal branding? What are the benefits and how do we get started? In this episode, Vicky tries her best to teach Denis, who is quickly learning that there is more room to learn.

    Introducing Personal Finance

    Personal finance is … personal. They don't teach this much in school, and being a professional practitioner does not make one great at personal finances. It might even blind you. In today’s episode, we explore different topical areas and goals that you could use to set your personal finance goals. We talk about things that have gone well and mistakes we've made. Finally, we recommend some books you can start on to get you to understand personal finance more.

    Reading Culture

    They say the average CEO reads 52 books per year. In 2022, Vicky read at least 12 books. Denis read 3. While there is debate about how many books one should read, consensus is we should all read more. In this episode, we seek out tips on how to read more. As action, how about a reading goal as your plan for your annual goals?

    Balanced Score Card Part 2

    This second part of the balanced scorecard series focuses on finances (differentiating that from career), relationships and personal growth to wrap up the balanced scorecard. Part 1 touched on the basics of goal setting and career goals if you missed that. All in all, happy goal setting!

    Personal Balanced Score Card Part 1

    You want to set your goals, but where do you start? One effective way, and Denis can attest having used it for 13 years straight, is the Personal Balanced Score Card (PBSC). We go through the foundations for setting goals then delve into career and finance goals of this first part of PBSC.

    Personal Board of Directors Part 1

    Good companies have boards of directors in their governance structure that guide the CEO. We provoke the thought, why not apply a similar governance structure to your personal life with you as CEO. We begin a 2 part series on Personal Board of Directors, inspired by Nyimpini Mabunda's TAKE CHARGE.
