Listen "Thandekile Mbatha shares on changing careers and shares valuable insights on navigating the South African corporate culture "
Episode Synopsis
In today’s episode we meet Thandekile Mbatha, a proud Zulu girl born and bred in the Free State, where she proudly says she learnt how to fluently speak SeSotho before her mother tongue. What immediately stands out about Thandekile, as you listen to her share her life story, is her quiet self confidence and the deep self awareness she possesses, she appears to be one of those people who have always been certain of the path that she would ultimately walk - which is interesting because quite often her chosen paths were “the paths less travelled”. Her story is one of courage, patience, the importance of being grounded in your values and perhaps most importantly the power of community building wherever you are - after all we are the sum of the people we surround ourselves with and often the only way to survive the obstacles of this life is through the lifelines we are given by those closest to us. I hope you enjoyed this episode, as much as I did.
