Your reputation enters the room before you do, so act with integrity.
In this episode, Vuyiswa M'Cwabeni describes how real personal growth and transformation happens outside the comfort zone. Having had to reassess her career completely after a shocking experience (which she describes), she ensures that she lives and works according to her deeply held values.
Vuyiswa describes her life as the CEO of software company Bloon, keynote speaker, immigrant in Germany, and mother of two teenagers. She is also poised to launch her own skincare brand.
She talks about how she has learned to love the 80:20 rule, how the representation of people of colour in leadership positions needs to become the norm rather than the exception, and the power of the pause. Vuyiswa also talks about challenging the status quo both quietly and out loud.
This is a raw, real conversation with a leader who's never anything but authentically herself.
This podcast is a companion piece to Charlotte Otter's book We Need New Leaders, published on 3 June by Practical Inspiration Publishing. Find it online or in all good bookshops.
