Dear Zimbabwe government: Please have heart this Valentine’s Day and set minimum wages that show you care for your people. ZWD 160 per month (about US$6) is heartbreaking. It can’t feed a single person let alone a family. The UN absolute poverty line is living on US$2 per day per person – at least US$62 per month. ZWD 160 per …
Dear Davos Delegate, You think you can do it all by yourself, because you have resources, influence and power. Don’t be fooled – you need help. You are mucking it all up, you know. It’s not about making billions any more. Billions of dollars are just worthless bits of paper or collections of 1s and 0s floating around in the …
That’s why she’s my co-host at the Superhero Impact Training pop up event we’re leading in New York next week. It’s for leaders who’ve made their mark, and are ready to make a difference. If you want to uncover your superpowers, discover your mission, find and call in your allies, develop your rally cry and perfect your Superhero pose (and …

⚡️The lull in the storm. ⚡️ You pick yourself up, dazed and bruised, after the storm. You feel bedraggled, drenched to the skin, shaken and sad after all that you’ve been through. You’ve made it so far, but you can see the threatening stormclouds regrouping for the next assault. You check that you still have all your limbs and your family. …
I woke up this morning with these words burning inside of me: Remember who you are. In a world that’s apparently gone insane. In a world that’s filled with fear and anger and injustice and oppression. Do not get sucked in. Do not get pulled off course. Yes, you are angry – you have every right to be. Yes, you …
How much do you take internet access for granted? If your internet was suddenly disconnected for a period of over a week, would you start to feel anxious and uncomfortable. Feel you were missing out on things? Maybe even start to lose your sense of humour? Would you feel your rights were being violated if someone turned off free internet …
The shock felt like a glacial dagger plunged into my heart. OMG. This could never, ever, ever be allowed to happen again.
