Below are some of my key activities during the year.

Sharpen the Saw
Weekly Podcast
In order to support the students who form part of my MBA Entrepreneurship Focus at the Gordon Institute of Business Science, I run a weekly 45-minute webinar to offer them insights, tools, inspiration and skills development to not only develop and grow their businesses but to develop their resilience and enhance their motivation. This has ranged from hosting guest faculty to local rugby coaches and international authors.
