I did say last week when 32 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: we kicked off this festive edition of this particular show 33 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: that we will be talking about all of the things 34 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 2: that I think are very important and some of the 35 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 2: contributions even come from yourself on some of the important 36 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: conversations that you want us to wrap up the year 37 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: with and open twenty twenty six with and so on show. Today, 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: we're going to be speaking just now in a few 39 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: minutes about the health implications of vaping, particularly when it 40 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: comes to teens. We've seen a lot of the reports 41 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 2: flagging their concerns, especially from a health expert, and what 42 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: it is that they reckon. We need to do as 43 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 2: communities to make sure that we move children away from that. 44 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: So we'll start the day or for the evening or 45 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: for that. We'll also talk about what South African laws 46 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: say about dishonesty in the workplace. Are you somebody who's 47 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: found yourself telling a little white lie at work or 48 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: been caught out? You know, what does the little South 49 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 2: African law say to protect you and you're right in 50 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 2: the workplace. We'll also talk about your goals for twenty 51 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: twenty six, just again a reflection as we always do, 52 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 2: a reflection of what those look like, what they should 53 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: look like, how you can tweak those considering what you 54 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: were able and what you perhaps weren't able to do 55 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 2: during the course of this year. And then of course 56 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: one other issue you know that baffles you know, the 57 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: the retail sector, particularly being able to spot fake product 58 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: on your shelves when you're doing your shopping, perhaps maybe 59 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: making you a little more savvy in terms of pointing 60 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 2: those out. It's not as obvious as you think it is. 61 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 2: So we will have zincre Ejigue, who is from the 62 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: Consumer Goods Counsel of South Africa talking to us about 63 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: how to spot those. In the second hour, we'll speak 64 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: about how couples really need to be talking about sex, 65 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: you know, and how to you know, spice things up 66 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: this festive season. Are you bringing out the Father Christmas suit? 67 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: Is it the hat or is it something else? Closer 68 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 2: to the time, A promise I will let you know 69 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,839 Speaker 2: so that you know to perhaps move the kids into 70 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: a different room so you have your moment to think 71 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: about it. And then much later in the show we'll 72 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 2: wrap it up with a conversation on what to do 73 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,839 Speaker 2: to you know, look at your personal brand and how 74 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: to invest in your personal brand so you are a 75 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: formidable brand going into twenty twenty six. 76 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: Seven o two great talk summer. 77 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: Like I mentioned earlier, we've looked at a lot of 78 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: studies that tell us just exactly why vaping is so 79 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 2: bad among teens, and you know, those numbers are really shocking. 80 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: There was one particular one study that was done and 81 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 2: that was published by the lancet E Medical Clinical Medicine 82 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 2: journal Apologies and published particularly by UCT and another university 83 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: in the Netherlands, and they surveyed more than twenty five 84 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: thousand high school learners across the country, with the exception 85 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 2: of the Northwest because as I understand it, that particular 86 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: province you know, didn't take part and it refused to 87 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: take part in this particular study, but from those twenty 88 00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: five thousand students that were surveyed by by you and 89 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: this other university in the Netherlands, they found that close 90 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: to sixteen percent of participants admitted to currently using vapes, 91 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 2: and these are high school children between grade eight and 92 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 2: metric Nationally, that rate of vaping ranged from four percent 93 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 2: to about thirty one percent by school and increased with 94 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: each grade. Joining me now on seven No. Two and 95 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,239 Speaker 2: Cape talk on the line to talk to us about 96 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 2: these numbers and why they're so worrying as medical doctor, 97 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: doctor Angelique Couldzier, Doctor Katia, very good evening to you, 98 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us this evening. 99 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 4: A good evening and a good evening to all your 100 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,679 Speaker 4: listeners out there. And this is a very important topic. 101 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. Have we fully come to understand why vaping among 102 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: teens has become so attractive, Doctor Angeline Concier Couzier, I 103 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: know this is probably something that's worth looking at so 104 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: that we're able to understand the phenomenon and work backwards 105 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: perhaps in trying to move teams particularly away from it. 106 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 5: Yeah. 107 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 4: Let you first just understand that VP is not harmless, 108 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 4: especially for our teenagers. It unfortunately exposes a developing brain 109 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 4: and lungs to nicotine and toxic chemicals, thereby increasing the 110 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 4: risk of addiction, mental health problems, lung injury, and even 111 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 4: future cigarettes smoking. So the key danger while we're all 112 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 4: up in arms is around the teenage brain. So you 113 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 4: can look at it this way, that the nicotine rewires 114 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 4: the teenage brain and then your adolescence became addicted faster 115 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 4: than adults, and it affects concentration, the mood, anxiety levels, 116 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 4: and impulse control. So it is a key danger to 117 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 4: teenage brains. And currently we're still struggling with laws around 118 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 4: vating in South Africa. It's not being implemented yet. And 119 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 4: so because of all these nice colors and flavors, they 120 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 4: are an easy target because if you get your teenager 121 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 4: hooked onto nicotine, that actually hooked for most of them 122 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 4: will be hooked for life. And I also remember it's 123 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 4: a gateway effect. The strongest evidence shows that teens who 124 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 4: vape are about three times more likely to go onto 125 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 4: smoke cigarettes. Vaping is not preventing smoking in young people, 126 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 4: it is unfortunately creating new smokers. Also want to to 127 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 4: explain give clarity about what is the easy direct versus vaping. 128 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 4: So your eay cigarette is the device, vaping is the behavior, 129 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 4: and the heart comes from viping. Is that repeatedly inhaling 130 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 4: addictives and toxic substances? I cannot tresch this enough. 131 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 5: You know. 132 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 4: That regarding the harmful effects and what it can lead 133 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 4: to four teenagers and young. 134 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: People, are the sort of toxins that we find an 135 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: e cigarettes any different from the traditional cigarette as we 136 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 2: know them. 137 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 4: So the toxins in your in your in viping versus 138 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 4: your your cigarettes is I think the first thing is 139 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 4: we need to understand that the nicotine is there in 140 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 4: both and licotine is what your uh the problem is, 141 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 4: uh what you are going to get as you as 142 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 4: you carry on, that is what makes you addictives. So 143 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 4: if you look at your cigarettes that involve combustion, that's 144 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 4: about over seven thousand chemicals and then vaping what is 145 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 4: in the aerosol, So vaping does not burned tobacco, but 146 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,599 Speaker 4: the aerosource still contains the harmful substances. And again, nicotine 147 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 4: air is often in very high concentrations and the particles 148 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 4: are very very fine, ultra fine particles. That means that 149 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 4: can penetrate deep into the lungs. Then you also give 150 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 4: get your heavy metals like your leads in your nickel 151 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 4: from hitting the coils in the vaping. And unfortunately, also 152 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 4: the flavoring chemicals is also linked to lung damage, so 153 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 4: we call it the popcorn lung and your chemicals that 154 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 4: form new toxins when you heat that. So while the 155 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 4: number of toxins may be lower than and your cigarettes, 156 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 4: that type and the delivery are still very very harmful. 157 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 4: And again the nicotine. So there's a thing that what 158 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 4: is very misleading is that under the teenages that vaping 159 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 4: is safer than smoking argument, and this only applies to 160 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 4: adult smokers trying to quit. We also advise adult smokers 161 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 4: not to keep on vaping. You actually only need to 162 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 4: use that to get off your cigarette, and you also 163 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 4: need to stop vaping. And then that's also the argument 164 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 4: says that you know, the teenagers use that that it 165 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 4: does not apply to non smokers or teenagers. The problem again, 166 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:45,119 Speaker 4: vaping introduced nicotine addiction that delivered the toxins to developing 167 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 4: brain and lungs and then increase your risk of later 168 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 4: for smoking. So your addictions vaping can be worse because 169 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 4: remember what I've said, some of those devices deliver more 170 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 4: nicotine than a E cigarette are or than a cigarette CI. Yeah, 171 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 4: so longer, stronger addiction, harder withdraw, greater long term dependence. 172 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 5: You know. 173 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 4: So if you look at it like the cigarette or 174 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 4: like a burning bothing full of smoke, vapes are fewer chemicals, 175 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 4: but they're still the toxic fumes. For a teen age breathing, 176 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 4: any of it is harmful. So bottom line, cigaretta, yes, 177 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 4: more toxins, proven long term harm. Vaping different toxes, real 178 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 4: and growing harm and for teen ages, neither is safe. 179 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 4: So it's not a harmless alternative. It's a pathway to 180 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 4: addiction for children, for young people, So less than toxic 181 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 4: cigarettes does not mean non toxic, especially for children. 182 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, doctor cut, you've mentioned the impact on lungs and 183 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 2: the heart as well. How does that present itself in 184 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 2: terms of the diseases that they then perhaps develop from 185 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: smoking these. 186 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 4: So if you look at your lungs, so what it 187 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 4: thin in hale is not water vapor. It's an aerosol 188 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 4: containing nicotine that ultra fine particles and the heavy metals, 189 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 4: and that damaged the lung So you then see more asthma, flames, 190 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 4: breathing problems, and vaping related lung injuries that popcorn lungs 191 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 4: that we are talking about, and this becomes now more prevalent. 192 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 4: There's a lot of studies around the toxic effect on 193 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 4: the lungs. And then you know the lung is a problem, 194 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 4: but I think the teenage brain is a bigger problem 195 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 4: for me than under the lungs. So it's that combination 196 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 4: and the addictiveness that is a huge problem. And here 197 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 4: I also would like to advise parents, do not think 198 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 4: it's cool if your child is vaping. And now you say, 199 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 4: well it's vaping at least not smoking cigarettes. It's not cool, 200 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 4: It's not okay. You should not encourage your child to 201 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:07,479 Speaker 4: do either smoking cigarettes or vaping. And in the schools, 202 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 4: we cannot expect the school to do the work of 203 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 4: that is actually needed to be done at home. But 204 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 4: the schools also need to crack down on this. But 205 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 4: the biggest thing, it starts with friends. It's a peer 206 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 4: pressure that you get from the teenagers and what is 207 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 4: happening at home, and we need to address it at 208 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 4: that level as well. And no amount of legislation is 209 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 4: going to sort the home environment and your friends, your 210 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 4: teen teenage peer pressure. If you don't have a strong 211 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 4: child that understands, do not get involved in this and 212 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 4: the reasons why. 213 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: Doctor Cotm Yeah, oh sorry, I thought we lost you 214 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: there for two seconds, just still speaking about the brain. 215 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: Then you said, you're you're more concerned with the impact 216 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 2: on the brain. What that nicotine exposure from the vaping, 217 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 2: How does it impact concentration, memory, mood? 218 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 4: Perhaps so if you look at at so you're sitting 219 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 4: with a teenager or you know. Unfortunately, we get children 220 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 4: ten and younger that is vaping, so that concentration is 221 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 4: where we're now starting. So the child is not performing 222 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 4: at school. Now, let's say that the parents are can 223 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 4: afford something like your drugs for IDHD or attention deficit disorder, 224 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 4: and they want to use those type of medications because 225 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 4: there's something wrong with the concentration. The marks are not good. 226 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 4: The child is moody. So we think about depression. We 227 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 4: think about everything else except to ask the question is 228 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 4: this child viping? And if the child is viting, how 229 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 4: much is it he or she viping per day? And 230 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 4: all of that effects the anxiety levels, they impulse control, 231 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 4: the concentration you're actually sitting already with teenagers that's that's 232 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 4: difficult in their development process. And then you add this 233 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 4: to to that developing brain, and you set, as I've said, 234 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 4: with a child who's not who's poor, poorly functioning at school, 235 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 4: and parents is on his guys, the school is on 236 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 4: his guys, and everyone forgets. As I've said about the viping. 237 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 2: You mentioned that it needs a little more than just schools, 238 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: you know, sort of being the watchdog for kids who 239 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 2: spend a lot, who spend a lot of their time there, 240 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 2: perhaps do a lot more vaping there than in front 241 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 2: of their parents or within the home scenario or setup. 242 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 2: But the legislation, I think is quite important to speak 243 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 2: about how far are we in South African terms of 244 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 2: the regulation and what still needs to be done in 245 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 2: your opinion, so that we are addressing because I mean, 246 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 2: you know, vaping and you know the cigarette industry are 247 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: billion rand industries. They're very lucrative, and so there's got 248 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 2: to be a way that even still though they are 249 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 2: contributing to the economy, that the legislation still protects young 250 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 2: people particularly, So what still needs to be done were 251 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 2: the shortfalls and the gaps in the legislation to address 252 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 2: the issues of the impact on young people. 253 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 4: So you know, I've been talking about the legislation since 254 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 4: last year, and they still know. We are far behind 255 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 4: where it needs to be, especially when it comes to 256 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 4: protecting the children and the teenagers. So if you look 257 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 4: at the current position, as you have mentioned, if we 258 00:16:53,960 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 4: look at the easy greade, so you're easy great are 259 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 4: not fully regulated like your cigarette, so your traditional your 260 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 4: tobacco products are regulated under the Tobacco Product and Electronic 261 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 4: Device Control However, this bill has not yet been fully 262 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 4: enacted into law. They still a gray zone the aged restriction. 263 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 4: In practice, sales to under eighteens are supposed to be restricted. 264 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 4: In reality, we all know your teenagers can easily buy 265 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 4: vaves online sales informal vendors. Enforcement is minimal. So this 266 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 4: is one of the biggest failures and if you're not 267 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 4: going to fix that, it's going to be a problem. 268 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 4: Also the advertising, so unlike cigarettes, your vaves are marketed 269 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,959 Speaker 4: with bright colors and sweet flavors, you know everything that 270 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 4: teenagers love those social media as I've already said, advertising 271 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 4: targeting your young users and your packaging often looks like 272 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 4: sweets or tech tech gadget generates it's nice, so there 273 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 4: is no effective band on you appealing flavors or marketing currently. 274 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 4: And what we would like to see that the proposed 275 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 4: BOW would do is to regulate the easygree is the 276 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 4: same way as to batter ban the sales, restrict advertising, 277 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 4: limited public use, remember voting also the haabi bably all 278 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 4: of that, and it is because it matters because our 279 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 4: team vating is rising faster than the legislation. We see 280 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,239 Speaker 4: that increase. You see that study that came out, so 281 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 4: our legislation unfortunately hasn't kept pace with the science all 282 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 4: with the marketing of the vaping industry and our children 283 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 4: not buying that price. 284 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Doctor Katia, thank you so much for your time. 285 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 2: Really do you appreciate your input on what still needs 286 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 2: to be done to address that crisis a growing crisis. 287 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 2: Really it is that doctor Angelique could see who's a 288 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 2: general practitioner just speaking to us about vaping and the 289 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 2: empty patients. 290 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 3: Celebrating summer on seven o two and Scape talk. 291 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 2: With five minutes to go to the bottom of the hour. 292 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 2: I thought it would be quite important and interesting just 293 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 2: a touch base as well with a labor expert to 294 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 2: speak to us about what it is you need to 295 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 2: be avoid to what it is that you need to 296 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 2: avoid saying in the workplace to stay out of trouble. 297 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 2: And this pertains particularly to honesty and trust, because often 298 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 2: we're told that that's at the heart really of any 299 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 2: working relationship, whether it's between yourself and other employees and 300 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 2: the company or yourself and the employer itself. And so 301 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 2: maybe to break that down for us and what the 302 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 2: implications legal implications for that are is labor expert caliber 303 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 2: body who joins us now on the line, Very good 304 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: evening to you, Thank you so much for joining. 305 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 6: Us, Good evening, and good living to your listeners as well. 306 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 2: What do you reckon? Are some of the big issues 307 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 2: when it comes to honesty in the workplace? Do we 308 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 2: find that people are often fibbing and if they are, well, 309 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 2: what does that look like? Is it a lie? In 310 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 2: the CV? Is it a lie perhaps telling your employer 311 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,959 Speaker 2: that you did the work but you didn't or that 312 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: you did the work but it wasn't you who didn't 313 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 2: want somebody else? How does it express itself? How do 314 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 2: lies express themselves in the workplace? 315 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 6: It generally expresses itself as a lack of honesty. Let's 316 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 6: put it that way. There is no specific piece of 317 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 6: legislation that regulates honesty, but the employment relationship itself, the 318 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 6: foundation to it is honesty and integrity. So the employment 319 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 6: relationship is based on a concept of what is called 320 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 6: in the common law bona fidees or good faith, and 321 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 6: good faith means you must be honest in your interaction 322 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 6: in your relationship. The thereof is a breakdown in trust, 323 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 6: and once you have no trust, the employment relationship is 324 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 6: almost as an So this doesn't only apply to employment, 325 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 6: but it also applied to business. It applies to commerce, 326 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 6: it applies to contract, and it applies to damaging then 327 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 6: the good name of another person or what is in 328 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 6: law called deal it. So it applies in all areas, 329 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 6: but in employment law it generally manifests itself as a 330 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 6: failure to be honest in other ways. You know, for 331 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 6: a fact that, for example, you you were previously convicted 332 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 6: of frauds, but you don't disclose it to your next employer, 333 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 6: Or you you you were married before whiles young, but 334 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 6: you don't disclose your next husband that you have previously married. 335 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 6: So from where he stands, he is marrying someone that 336 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 6: was unmarried all along, only to find after the marriage 337 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 6: that you were previously married. So in that instance, for example, 338 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 6: there's the likelihood that the marriage will be dissolved instead 339 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 6: of it going through the divorce process because it was 340 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 6: not based on one of the key elements, which is 341 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 6: honesty and trust. 342 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 2: Sure does that mean then in the workplace as well, 343 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 2: it's a firable offense or does it depend on the 344 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 2: offense itself and how big it is. 345 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 6: Generally, if there is proof of you as being dishonest 346 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 6: in your dealing, either in your application for employment, in 347 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 6: your claim to have certain qualifications or making the creditia 348 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 6: for the job you're applying for, or even once you 349 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 6: are in the job, for example, and you are now 350 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 6: a trained financial service advisory, passed and consulted, you are 351 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 6: expected as a matter of course to be honest in 352 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 6: your dealings. So once there are certain things that you 353 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 6: don't disclose to your client, for example, the client then 354 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 6: suffers damages as a result of that. They may soon 355 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 6: your employer. An employer may subject you to a desal 356 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 6: process because you did not disclose it in things which 357 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 6: in terms of the principles of honesty, you expected to disclose. 358 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 6: So the non disclosure can be materially a cause of 359 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 6: either termination or even cancelation of your license to trade. 360 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 6: So as a lawyer you can't be dishonest, are as 361 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 6: an accountant you can be dishonest. As a financial service prowever, 362 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 6: you can't be dishonest. And even as a director of 363 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 6: companies you cannot be dishonest because once you are, you 364 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 6: break the relationship of trust with whoever is a stakeholder 365 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 6: in relation to the commercial transactions that you're involved in. 366 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 2: Just briefly, for somebody who may be in trouble at work, 367 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 2: for perhaps having told a lie, they've been found out 368 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 2: at work, what are the processes legally that need to 369 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: be followed by the company, And you know what do 370 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 2: people who may be listening at the moment who are 371 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 2: in trouble need to be aware of in terms of, 372 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 2: you know, the fallout and what may come of that post. 373 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 6: Let's say arguments sake, you did not disclose that you 374 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 6: don't have a certain degree, but over time you have 375 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 6: the requisite experience that you built up, You have the 376 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 6: requisite knowledge, but you just don't have the qualification that 377 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 6: is required for the job. It is advisable that you 378 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 6: do not wait for the employer to find out it 379 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 6: is advisable to disclose to the employer, and then the 380 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 6: employee is to then make a determination. And then, depending 381 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 6: on your the honesty of your disclosure, the employer might say, look, 382 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 6: we accept that you did not disclose this when you 383 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 6: should have. But now that you put your card on 384 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 6: the table and you've made this contribution to the business, 385 00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 6: the obligation you left to then pursue is obtain the qualification. 386 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 6: And there might be some other interim consequences that flow 387 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 6: from that, because generally you can't just get out, get out, 388 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 6: get out from scot free. But disclosure is the advisable 389 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 6: policy to adopt. So don't make a non disclosure when 390 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 6: ordinarily you should have disclosed, because one the employer is 391 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 6: found the employer finds out, then you're on a dug 392 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 6: food and whatever response you give is unlikely to win 393 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 6: the day. 394 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: All right, that's Calibo, Thank you so much for your 395 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 2: time this evening. Really do you appreciate that Calib subody 396 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 2: is a labor expert, just speaking to us about what 397 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 2: you do need to be aware of in the workplace, 398 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 2: particularly when you have been caught out in life big 399 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 2: or Small two Summer twenty minutes two seven o'clock. Do 400 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 2: you have two guests in studio with me? Anthony and 401 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 2: Garabo have just decided to just themselves here while they 402 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 2: watch the football behind me. When we continue, nonetheless, you're 403 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 2: salon seven o two and cave talk. My name is 404 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 2: Nobo Kaanyam dunbo in for Stephen Krootiz for the entire 405 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 2: festive season. We have just two days to go. I 406 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 2: don't know if you've been doing the countdown before we 407 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: ring in the new year, and I've a hope that 408 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 2: you've had the opportunity really to reflect on what twenty 409 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 2: twenty five has looked like for you and what you 410 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 2: hope twenty twenty six will be like. Of course, it 411 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 2: wouldn't be a festive lineup without those reflections. And if 412 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 2: you haven't, perhaps maybe then just use the next few 413 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 2: minutes with us to think about what's most important for 414 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 2: you in your reflections. The best person to help us 415 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 2: maybe go about this, of course, is Judy Clippin, who 416 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 2: is an author and a career coach who's on the 417 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 2: line with us. JUDI a very good evening. Thank you 418 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 2: so much for joining us this evening. 419 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 7: Thanks jsu Conia High. 420 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 2: When we talk about annual goals and you know, reflecting 421 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 2: on what our goals were for the year and for 422 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 2: you know, the year to come, are those usually different 423 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 2: from what we usually call your New Year's resolutions? 424 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that they can be different, and they 425 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 7: actually should be different. I think that New Year's resolutions 426 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 7: are usually about self improvement or things that we want 427 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 7: to do to make our personal lives feel better or 428 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 7: make us feel more accomplished, Whereas I think a goal 429 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 7: is far more it's far more goal oriented, it's much 430 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 7: it's bigger. It's something that we want to work towards 431 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 7: in a way that is going to substantially and sustainably 432 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 7: contribute to progress in our lives. 433 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 2: And what happens when we don't actually set goals for 434 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 2: the year, How does that actually affect that motivation or 435 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 2: our direction on or what we hope to achieve for 436 00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: the earth. 437 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 7: So I think that goal setting is really important to 438 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 7: help us with decision making and boundary setting. There's a 439 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 7: very famous quote that says, if you don't know where 440 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 7: you're going, then then anywhere will take you there. And 441 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 7: if we don't have a goal, then it makes it 442 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 7: quite hard for us to assess whether we want to 443 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 7: say yes or no to opportunities or request If we 444 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,479 Speaker 7: do have a goal, say we have a goal that 445 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 7: we want to get a degree this year. If we 446 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 7: know that even if we want to pass say two 447 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 7: subjects this year, if we don't have that goal in mind, 448 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,719 Speaker 7: then when friends ask us to come out, you know, 449 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 7: to go out partying or drinking, we might say yes 450 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 7: instead of actually knowing that we have to stay at 451 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 7: home to study at these two or three evenings a week. 452 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 7: So that's what I mean when I say that I 453 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 7: think that goals help us with decision making and boundary setting. 454 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 7: If we don't have those goals, then we can be 455 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,479 Speaker 7: quite porous and we can say yes to anything that 456 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 7: comes comes our ways or is offered to us without 457 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 7: thinking about whether it's actually going to help us to 458 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 7: get to where we want to be. 459 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 2: When we talk about the process, and I know you've 460 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 2: got a whole strategy in terms of hard to set 461 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 2: those goals, you know that are more pointed and towards 462 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 2: our personal goals I guess for the year. But should 463 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 2: they ever be different in terms of the strategy that 464 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: we use for whether they're personal or their professional goals, 465 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 2: or do we treat them the same. 466 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 7: I think that we should treat them the same. I 467 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,719 Speaker 7: think that one of the reasons, the major reason actually 468 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 7: why we don't achieve goals, and this is whether it's personal, professional, 469 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 7: or collective, even if it's a team goal at works. 470 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 7: One of the major obstacles that gets in the way 471 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 7: of our achieving our goals is ambivalence. An ambivalence is, 472 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 7: you know, kind of having mixed feelings about something. So 473 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 7: on the one hand, we want to achieve it, but 474 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 7: on the other hand, we don't. Maybe we want that promotion, 475 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 7: but we worried about what it all mean in terms 476 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 7: of times with our families or expectations from our buses. 477 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 7: And so that ambivalence, that sense of not being entirely 478 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 7: one hundred percent committed to achieving that goal, that is 479 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 7: what gets in the way of our success. And that's 480 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 7: why it doesn't matter if it's personal I want to 481 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 7: lose weight, or I want to get that promotion, or 482 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 7: the team needs to be the best team in the company. 483 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 7: If there is any level of uncertainty or concern about 484 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 7: what achieving that goal might mean, what changes it would 485 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 7: demand from us, I think that's what gets in the 486 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 7: way of our achieving our goals. 487 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get to the interesting bits. Then, how do 488 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 2: we actually set those goals that are pointed to us 489 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 2: and that we actually think we will be able to 490 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 2: sustain throughout the year, so that we don't falter on 491 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 2: these come February, March or halfway through the year. 492 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 7: So there are you know, people often talk about smart goals, 493 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 7: and I've got a shorter little acronym or not an acronym, 494 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 7: whatever it's called. I talk about true goals. So the 495 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 7: TA is that it has to be tangible. So to 496 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 7: say to lose weight that is not tangible. To say, 497 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 7: or to get healthy is not tangible. To say, I'm 498 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 7: going to walk every day for twenty minutes, that is tangible. 499 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 7: I'm going to study every day for twenty minutes. That 500 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:32,719 Speaker 7: is tangible. The R is for right for you, because 501 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 7: so often we set goals that we think we should 502 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 7: be setting, or that other people think we should be setting, 503 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 7: and that's often where the ambivalence comes in. So if 504 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 7: our boss is you should go for that promotion, but 505 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 7: actually we're not ready for that promotion yet. But we 506 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 7: set that goal as a promotion and we get in 507 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 7: the way of ourselves achieving it. We're rescuing ourselves from 508 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 7: achieving that goal because of what it's going to mean 509 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 7: to our lives. We're just setting ourselves up to perceive 510 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 7: that we are failing. And so we have to be 511 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 7: really careful that the goals that we set are right 512 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 7: for us and that we really are committed to achieving, 513 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 7: which leads to the U, which is unambivalent. We must 514 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 7: be absolutely unambivalent about achieving that goal. There must be 515 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 7: no mixed feelings, no fear or anxiety about how our 516 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 7: life might change for the worse if we achieve that 517 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 7: goal and the ears and that needs to be an 518 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 7: energy efficient goal. I work a lot with burnout, and 519 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 7: one of the things that I see over and over 520 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 7: again is that we are not spending our energy wisely. 521 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 7: We are committing ourselves to actions or to goals that 522 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 7: are using up too much energy and not allowing us 523 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,239 Speaker 7: to do the things that are regenerating that energy. So 524 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 7: we really have to do something in an energy efficient way, 525 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 7: and those are the true goals. 526 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 2: How do we measure how how successful we've been in 527 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 2: terms of these goals? Do we wait until the end 528 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 2: of the year to sort of measure whether or not 529 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 2: we were able to walk five kilometers a day or 530 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 2: two or three or whatever the t or tangible aspect 531 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,959 Speaker 2: of it for you was, Or do we assess them 532 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 2: along the way for them to actually be sustainable. 533 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 7: I think we definitely have to assess them along the way, 534 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 7: and we have to use them as a kind of 535 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 7: a compass. So not only are we checking in with 536 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,239 Speaker 7: ourselves weekly or monthly, how am I doing here? You know, 537 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 7: have I graduated from twenty minutes to thirty minutes walking? 538 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 7: But we have to use that as an end point 539 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 7: as a direction that we want to get to you, 540 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 7: so that if you know, someone comes along and asks 541 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 7: you to do something and you're not sure whether you 542 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 7: want to do it or not, you can ask yourself, 543 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,239 Speaker 7: is doing this going to take me closer towards or 544 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 7: further away from the goal that I have set for myself. 545 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 7: If it is taking you closer towards it, go ahead. 546 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 7: If it is taking you further away from it, then 547 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 7: say no. If possible, obviously, but that's what I'm talking 548 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 7: about about giving it. It gives you the opportunity to 549 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 7: make good decisions. If you know where you want to go. 550 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, and for someone who is at the moment, you know, 551 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 2: going through their own reflections, trying to think about reflecting 552 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 2: first on what it is that they were able to 553 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 2: do for the year, and perhaps trying to carry over 554 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 2: some of those goals into twenty twenty six, and then 555 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 2: setting out the agenda for twenty twenty six, maybe using 556 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 2: your true tangible you're right for you, you're an ambivalent 557 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 2: and your energy efficient strategy. Somebody who is listening, now 558 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 2: walk us through that, you know, goal setting process using 559 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 2: that I guess four point turn we can call it now, 560 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 2: so that we are able to make the right goals 561 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 2: for us. 562 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 7: Okay, So let's come up with a list of goals 563 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 7: and some of those are going to be personal, some 564 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,959 Speaker 7: of them are going to be professional. Right at five 565 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 7: or six goals, and then go and evaluate each of them. 566 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,919 Speaker 7: So for instance, losing weight. So I'm always used losing weight, 567 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 7: but it's such especially at this time of year, everyone 568 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,280 Speaker 7: weight losing weight? Okay, is it tangible? Not really? 569 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 4: Okay? 570 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 7: So you have to make it tangible. You have to 571 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,479 Speaker 7: say I'm going to lose five hundred grams a week 572 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 7: or otherwise I'm going to eat an apple every day. 573 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,359 Speaker 7: I don't know what you know something that is tangible. 574 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 7: Then again you have to then assess, Okay, is it 575 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 7: right for me. Am I doing this because I want 576 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 7: to lose the weight? Or am I doing it because 577 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 7: my partner says I lead need to lose the weight 578 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 7: or my mother says I need to. 579 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 3: Lose the weight. 580 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 7: If it is right for me, if it is something 581 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 7: that I want to do for the right reasons for me, 582 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 7: carry on. Then we get to unambivalent. Is this something 583 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 7: that I'm absolutely one hundred percent to to achieving. Is 584 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 7: there any worry about what will happen to me or 585 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 7: how things might change for me if I meet this goal. 586 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 7: I can't tell you how often people come to me. 587 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 7: They say they want to as I've said, they want 588 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 7: to be promoted, or they want to lose weight, or 589 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,879 Speaker 7: they want to get married, whatever. But when they think 590 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 7: about what that might mean for them when they achieve that, 591 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 7: it's actually quite terrifying for them because in their mind, 592 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,800 Speaker 7: the consequences of achieving that goal are really not that great. 593 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 7: And so if you're unambivalent about it, carry on. Next thing, energy, 594 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 7: Is there a responsible use of my energy? Am I 595 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 7: going to be putting too much effort into this for 596 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,879 Speaker 7: the potential rewards? Or is it sustainable? Am I going 597 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 7: to be able to sustainably sustainably put them out of 598 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 7: energy that is needed into it so that I can 599 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 7: reach that goal without completely depleting myself and burning out. 600 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 7: If it's energy efficient, care, then you've got that goal. 601 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 7: Then you can move on to the next one and 602 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,919 Speaker 7: interrogate that one. And if you say no to any 603 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,479 Speaker 7: of those four questions, then just put that goal down, 604 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 7: either for now or possibly forever. 605 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 2: Sure that's Judy, Judy, thank you so much for your 606 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 2: time this evening.

I think it may have been a 624 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 2: week or two ago when we saw an article talking 625 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 2: about how honey, the honey isn't what you would put 626 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,320 Speaker 2: in your tea or coffee or in your tea, probably 627 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 2: is on the shelves, but not all of them are 628 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 2: legitimate products, and I thought, good, gracious, and the how 629 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 2: is it even possible?

We want them to be 651 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:07,399 Speaker 8: aware andmbigilant because these cheap imports that are coming into 652 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 8: this country summer, yes, manufactured in our homes, in the 653 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 8: homes of these suppliers and the verifications, virus issues of 654 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 8: this how they bring them into the country. And these 655 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 8: are like issues of bread and butter number one, number two, 656 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 8: life and death and as a consumers cancel, as you 657 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 8: already said, we are really creating awareness to consumers to 658 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 8: say they must be vigilant and they must know what 659 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 8: is it that they're buying, who are they buying. 660 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 7: From, and where is it sourced, because for any producer 661 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,359 Speaker 7: to operate in this country needs to have I mean 662 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 7: the acticing that you're referring to. You need to say, 663 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 7: who's the producer, where are they based, what is the 664 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 7: content of the product that they have manufactured, and what 665 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 7: is the barcoad. 666 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 5: You can scan the. 667 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 7: Barcod We have and app that is out in the 668 00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:00,720 Speaker 7: market where it's called my Say app. 669 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 8: You can scan that app and then you can tell 670 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 8: you who's the producer, the address of the producer, and 671 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 8: you can then look in your product they're labeling and 672 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,319 Speaker 8: see if that information is the same, and if that 673 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 8: information is not the same, then you must be suspicious 674 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 8: and then report. 675 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 2: That is the reason why we're seeing more and more 676 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 2: of these products on the shelves because they're able to 677 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 2: bypass I mean you mentioned a lot of them are 678 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 2: imports from outside of the country coming in and then 679 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 2: onto the shelves. Is it because they're bypassing a particular 680 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 2: system or other people who are stocking these also aware 681 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 2: of the fact that they counterfeit and you know, illegal 682 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 2: goods as well. 683 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 5: Definitely. 684 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 8: I mean, obviously we have challenges our borders. Our government 685 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 8: does not have enough capacity to make sure that they 686 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 8: are able to check each and every product that comes 687 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 8: into our ports and our borders in the country. So 688 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 8: that is one of our biggest problems because obviously we 689 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 8: still have minor systems in terms of how are we 690 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 8: checking this product, where as globally alwhere in the world 691 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,240 Speaker 8: they're using a system like the GIN. The GIN is 692 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 8: a technical name for a barcol because it's called Global 693 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 8: Trade Identification number, which is the bar code. Because each 694 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 8: and every product that mass come into the country, that 695 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 8: is manufactured anywhere in the world must have this are code, 696 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 8: which then can be scanned and then we can have 697 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 8: this information. There's a lot of technology called standards. 698 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 5: That are used also in the world that are used by. 699 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 8: Customs institutions similar to yours ales the text urban institutions 700 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 8: that can enable to track and say where's the country 701 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 8: for region, who's the brand owner or the manufacturer, and 702 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,280 Speaker 8: which country is its intended. 703 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 5: For sake, these are all rules and regulations. 704 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 8: That South African government once and unfortunately the mechanism to 705 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 8: monitor and track all of these are still a challenge. 706 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 7: In South Africa. But as an industry, from an industry perspective, 707 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 7: we have this capability and we have been speaking to 708 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 7: government and advocating it to government to say we can 709 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,000 Speaker 7: assist and let's look and say, how do we make 710 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 7: sure that we legalize and say in each and every 711 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,760 Speaker 7: product that comes into this country, this is the barcode 712 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 7: that he needs to have and this barclet can be 713 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 7: tricked anywhere in the world because that right now, that's 714 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 7: not the law in this country. 715 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, a two pronged approach. Then, perhaps first on the 716 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 2: Consumer Goods Council, speak to me about how you make sure, 717 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 2: you know, with those conversations with government and so on, 718 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 2: and the retailers to make sure that the books that 719 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 2: are on the shelves are legitimate and of course, by implication, 720 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 2: especially when we speak about food products are healthy for 721 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 2: the consumers who then buy them. And then secondly, just 722 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 2: as consumers, when I'm in a shop and I see honey, 723 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 2: and I make the example of honey, because we spoke 724 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 2: about that particular article. I see a bottle of honey, 725 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 2: you know, which generally would be about one hundred and 726 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 2: something rands. It's gotten that expensive. But suddenly retails for 727 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 2: about fifty rands. Do I know that this may not 728 00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,919 Speaker 2: be the product I'm looking for? 729 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,919 Speaker 8: So, I mean, let me just take a step back, 730 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 8: because eliciting counterfeit has becoming massive in this country and 731 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 8: it's becoming an economy on its own that is tipening 732 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 8: money out of our retinal and our takes space is 733 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 8: a country and it's taking money exactly like the article said, 734 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 8: from legitimate businesses that are creating employment in this country. Again, 735 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 8: it comes weakens our institutions because men as consumers, we're 736 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 8: see law enforcement are not taking charge on these individuals, 737 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 8: on these businesses, and we're thinking, I mean, it's easy 738 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,760 Speaker 8: to do crime because law enforcement agencies in this country 739 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 8: are not able to cap all of this and all 740 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 8: these individuals responsible because we are the law enforcement, Our 741 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 8: text authorities are under resource customs agencies, and you know, 742 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 8: our financial intelligence units are struggling to keep pace with 743 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,800 Speaker 8: all of these cross border schemes and digital laundry technics 744 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,640 Speaker 8: that are taking place because it is so that much sophisticated. 745 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,839 Speaker 8: So what we what we have done, we have Uh, 746 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 8: there's other associations in this country like the Leaqua Associations 747 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 8: like in South South Babasa, the FSA National Liqua. Uh 748 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 8: you know, so we we partnered with all of them, 749 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 8: even even blesas attacker. From a toys perspective, I mean 750 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,799 Speaker 8: that you cannot believe that toys are counterfeit. The Dare 751 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 8: Association as well, there is all associations that we have 752 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 8: all come together and formed. 753 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 5: The task teams. 754 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,760 Speaker 8: These testings are definitely to work together because we're saying 755 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,439 Speaker 8: we are all doing the same thing, but we're doing 756 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 8: it separating. We're not coming together in a collective manner 757 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 8: so that you can have a powerful voice when you're 758 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 8: talking to government and when you're talking to consumers. Because 759 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 8: it's the same thing, but too many people, too many voices, and. 760 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:01,920 Speaker 5: We're saying the same thing differently. 761 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 8: But if we have all come together and say in 762 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 8: one voice everybody that you're trying to say, this is 763 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 8: how we want to keep and work together in a 764 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,359 Speaker 8: partnership for collective action against in the economy. Because you're 765 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,480 Speaker 8: realizing that this challenge is huge just to be forced 766 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 8: stayed by one organization or the other. So what do 767 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,760 Speaker 8: we have done to date? Obviously, we have a marketing 768 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 8: campaign that is called Check Check adding we're saying to consumers, 769 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,279 Speaker 8: check what you buy, what you're consuming, what you're not 770 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 8: bringing inside your home, inside your family. There's regulations that 771 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 8: in this country you need to a chair to number 772 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 8: one the labeling regulation that exactly tells what needs to 773 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 8: be in that label. You know your product as well 774 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,840 Speaker 8: because it's your favorite, whether it's honey or a liquor 775 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 8: or spending type of food. You know how it looks. 776 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 8: You can see the textures. 777 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,319 Speaker 5: They can see the color is not the same of 778 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,320 Speaker 5: course the label. 779 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 8: But also we want to put the capability to consumers 780 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 8: download the app which is available on Android as well 781 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 8: as on the Apples store.

Are we seeing a 855 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:10,680 Speaker 2: shift in how we see sex, intimacy, sexual wellness in 856 00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 2: the country I mentioned that article. Is there a shift 857 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,000 Speaker 2: that we're seeing or is there still stigma attached to 858 00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:20,360 Speaker 2: those sort of conversations around sex and sexuality and sex education. 859 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 9: There definitely is a shift because there is far more consciousness. 860 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 9: Social media is flooded with articles and reels and TikTok 861 00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:39,560 Speaker 9: and Instagram are flooded with intimacy coaches and psychologists such 862 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:44,319 Speaker 9: as myself who are talking about communication and how to 863 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 9: encourage more intimacy and more connection in relationships. However, I 864 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 9: have found that it is still taboo the subject of 865 00:51:53,680 --> 00:52:00,239 Speaker 9: sex and closes sexual relationships in relationships is actually still 866 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 9: something that we're still treading lightly. 867 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:06,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it is. 868 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 9: Something that's kind of taboo to talk about. But as 869 00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:14,520 Speaker 9: I say, the awareness is there, but still quite not 870 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 9: where we need it to be. 871 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:16,640 Speaker 6: Yeah. 872 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 2: The fact that it's become a bit more big business 873 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,800 Speaker 2: in South Africa and the fact that we're seeing more 874 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,920 Speaker 2: of those conversations on social media have I don't know 875 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,800 Speaker 2: your experience, perhaps has it started to shape also the 876 00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:32,839 Speaker 2: expectations around intimacy and how we approach it within our 877 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,560 Speaker 2: intimate relationships. 878 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,240 Speaker 9: Well, a lot of my clients come to me asking 879 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,839 Speaker 9: for more help with intimacy and what would they really want, 880 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,320 Speaker 9: you know, they say they want more sex in their relationship. 881 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,239 Speaker 9: But the truth of the matter is that intimacy is 882 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:53,560 Speaker 9: really connection, and what they're really craving is more connection. 883 00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 9: They think that if they're having more sexual intimacy, then 884 00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 9: they will be more connected, But what really is needed 885 00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:06,400 Speaker 9: is a feeling of safety and a feeling of trust 886 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 9: and connection, which is not what they're not having. So 887 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,320 Speaker 9: they seeking for more sex, trying to find them more connection, 888 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:19,360 Speaker 9: but they're going around it about it in the wrong way, 889 00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:20,640 Speaker 9: if that makes sense. 890 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 5: They need to. 891 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:26,719 Speaker 9: Establish the safety in the relationship. They need to be 892 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,719 Speaker 9: communicating in a different way. They need to be more curious. 893 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,600 Speaker 9: They need to be having those conversations where there's space 894 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:38,880 Speaker 9: in the relationship to have those conversations around sex and 895 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,200 Speaker 9: what it means and what they want and what they. 896 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 2: Don't want. 897 00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:48,800 Speaker 9: In order for the true sexual intimacy to take place. 898 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:49,839 Speaker 5: Is that a. 899 00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:53,439 Speaker 2: Conversation tracy that we usually have to have with an 900 00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,120 Speaker 2: expert like yourself, or is it a conversation that we're 901 00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 2: able to start as partners at home or on our 902 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:04,520 Speaker 2: at least before we perhaps bring in the expertise of 903 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,320 Speaker 2: somebody else from outside. 904 00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:11,000 Speaker 9: Well, hopefully we can start to educate the younger generation 905 00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:15,880 Speaker 9: to start communicating a way in which that we are heard, 906 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:21,920 Speaker 9: that we have the space to ask questions where our 907 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,439 Speaker 9: questions are not considered to be where we are, where 908 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,879 Speaker 9: we have adults or teachers who are able to give 909 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:34,920 Speaker 9: us information, give young children information about sexual intimacy that 910 00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:39,160 Speaker 9: is not so scary. And so, you know, we are 911 00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:43,480 Speaker 9: told that sex the most terrible things about sexual intimacy 912 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:47,239 Speaker 9: in terms of what to experience, what not to do, 913 00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:51,120 Speaker 9: how punishable it is, and so on. If we give 914 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,080 Speaker 9: our children the right facts and we actually tell them 915 00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 9: that sexual intimacy is actually very pleasurable and it's done 916 00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:06,520 Speaker 9: in this way, you can avoid the pitfalls of teenage 917 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:11,920 Speaker 9: pregnancy and SDDS, HIV, all these kinds of things. We 918 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,879 Speaker 9: don't hone in on all the negatives, but we hone 919 00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 9: in on the fact that our. 920 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:17,160 Speaker 2: Bodies are. 921 00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:22,760 Speaker 9: Vessels of pleasure and that sex is enjoyable and it's fun, 922 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:27,160 Speaker 9: but it has to be done under certain boundaries where 923 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,319 Speaker 9: where the children or the teenagers or whatever it is, 924 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:35,840 Speaker 9: feel safe. Then we are telling them that different conversations 925 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,680 Speaker 9: need to be had. So couples who are also not 926 00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:43,600 Speaker 9: so used to having conversations around sex sexuality and what 927 00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:48,040 Speaker 9: they need from each other can start having these conversations 928 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:51,120 Speaker 9: at home without the help of a therapist, But the 929 00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:55,799 Speaker 9: right questions need to be asked, so couples who are 930 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,959 Speaker 9: not used to talking about it openly, there's a way 931 00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:03,239 Speaker 9: in which we we need to The questions around the 932 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:08,680 Speaker 9: subject need to be approached in a safe environment and 933 00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,719 Speaker 9: where the couples do feel as though they can talk 934 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,320 Speaker 9: openly and they won't feel judged by their partners. And 935 00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 9: and that's the kind of environment we're trying to faster. 936 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,160 Speaker 2: What do you reckon or perhaps the top two questions 937 00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,000 Speaker 2: that couples need to be asking each other within that 938 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 2: you know, context, when they are trying to have more 939 00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,919 Speaker 2: of those conversations to spice things up in a manner 940 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,960 Speaker 2: that's still respectful and as you just said, still safe 941 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:35,440 Speaker 2: as well. 942 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:40,960 Speaker 10: The top two questions, well, okay, that's difficult, but I'm 943 00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,879 Speaker 10: going to try and make it brief, something like what 944 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,480 Speaker 10: do you what do you love about me? 945 00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 2: When? 946 00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,719 Speaker 9: What is the what do you love about me when 947 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:57,520 Speaker 9: I am touching you? Or what is how do you 948 00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:02,479 Speaker 9: feel safe when I'm with you? What kind of touch 949 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:06,839 Speaker 9: would you like to receive from me? They are there 950 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:10,080 Speaker 9: are so many questions, but it's more those kinds of 951 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:14,120 Speaker 9: open questions where it invites conversation where if you really 952 00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 9: ask the question, you really want to answer. 953 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,840 Speaker 2: And if you're not getting the sort of reception that 954 00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 2: you're hoping for, and it doesn't necessarily either start the 955 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:27,600 Speaker 2: conversation or ignite the flame, you know, within the couple itself. 956 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,560 Speaker 2: When there's one party at least that starts the conversation 957 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,720 Speaker 2: but it's not been received the way that they want. 958 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,680 Speaker 2: What's the approach then, how do you either you know, 959 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,800 Speaker 2: try to find a way again to find common ground 960 00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:40,520 Speaker 2: or is it just a conversation that you just sort 961 00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:42,920 Speaker 2: of slide under the rug and keep it moving for 962 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:44,960 Speaker 2: now just because there's discomfort. 963 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 9: So we definitely avoid the sliding under the rug and 964 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,240 Speaker 9: hoping that things will get better. That's the time where 965 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 9: we start to seek intimacy coaching, such as myself, because 966 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 9: there's often often nine times out of ten deeper issues 967 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,919 Speaker 9: that couples need to confront when it comes to being 968 00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:12,040 Speaker 9: okay with their own sexuality and with their own upbringing 969 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:15,640 Speaker 9: around the messages that were given to them around who 970 00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:19,480 Speaker 9: they are women, particularly the messages that they were given 971 00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,840 Speaker 9: around sex and sexuality and how they should behave and 972 00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:27,200 Speaker 9: what's okay and what's not okay. And men as well, 973 00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,840 Speaker 9: you know, especially in the culture that we were living 974 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,200 Speaker 9: in now, men need to know how to treat women, 975 00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:39,040 Speaker 9: what they want, how to listen, how to hear. These 976 00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,440 Speaker 9: are the conversations that a lot of the time couples 977 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,760 Speaker 9: need to be having with the guidance of a therapist 978 00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:44,560 Speaker 9: or a counselor. 979 00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's an easy conversation to have. 980 00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 2: How do we find the right intimacy coach for a 981 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,480 Speaker 2: particular couple. I don't know if it's you know, one 982 00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:00,600 Speaker 2: size fits also to speak, how do we go about 983 00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,360 Speaker 2: finding the right person to have those conversations with and 984 00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 2: to bring into these discussions, you know, I don't know 985 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,920 Speaker 2: if there's a lot of intimacy coaches, But how do 986 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 2: you find the right one and a legitimate one while 987 00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:13,360 Speaker 2: you're at it? 988 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 9: Yeah, good, excellent question, because there's not a one size 989 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:22,200 Speaker 9: fits all, and so my suggestion would be that you 990 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:26,200 Speaker 9: would make an appointment with It's not just finding a psychologist, 991 00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:31,560 Speaker 9: because sometimes psychologists don't go into sexuality or look at 992 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 9: the sexual connection within a relationship. But it's the one 993 00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,360 Speaker 9: who who does look at sex, the sex and the 994 00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:43,760 Speaker 9: sexual relationship or lack thereof in a relationship. But it's 995 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:49,040 Speaker 9: meeting with that therapist and feeling, you know, finding out 996 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,840 Speaker 9: if there is some kind of trust in the relationship, 997 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,600 Speaker 9: if there's safety in the relationship with this therapist. Can 998 00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,680 Speaker 9: I actually feel like this is a safe space for 999 00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:00,920 Speaker 9: us to grow together? 1000 01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:03,520 Speaker 5: Is the Yeah? 1001 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,520 Speaker 9: Is the therapeutic space a safe space where I can 1002 01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:10,720 Speaker 9: ask questions, where I can be vulnerable with my partner 1003 01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 9: and that will really be the foundation upon which you 1004 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:17,960 Speaker 9: can thrive with the therapist involved. 1005 01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:21,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Tracy, thank you so much for sharing that with 1006 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:25,600 Speaker 2: us this evening.

Eight minutes to go to a 1022 01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:30,400 Speaker 2: half past we switched out just a little slightly to 1023 01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:34,000 Speaker 2: how perhaps African content creators, and we've been talking about 1024 01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,920 Speaker 2: content creators and you know, the social media space in 1025 01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:41,360 Speaker 2: the different conversations that we've had throughout the show. But 1026 01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,400 Speaker 2: the question really then becomes how the people that are 1027 01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 2: producing the content that you get to see are making 1028 01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,160 Speaker 2: a buck out of it and are able to make careers, 1029 01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:53,880 Speaker 2: sustainable ones out of it. Whether it's the social media posts, 1030 01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,160 Speaker 2: it's podcast, it's YouTube and any other of the digital 1031 01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:01,040 Speaker 2: platforms that are available. How do they tell local stories, 1032 01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 2: built communities reach global audiences while still benefiting from it. 1033 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,480 Speaker 2: Justine Ninaba, who joins us now on the line as 1034 01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:14,280 Speaker 2: perhaps the best person to take us through this. Justine 1035 01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:20,040 Speaker 2: is the CEO of Punky Starfish a digital agency and 1036 01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,800 Speaker 2: she can shed a bit more insights on this. Justina, 1037 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:25,360 Speaker 2: very good evening, Thank you so much for joining us 1038 01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:32,560 Speaker 2: on seven oh twin Kpe talk Justina, There we go, 1039 01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:38,600 Speaker 2: There we go. Hello, Yes, Justine, a very important conversation. 1040 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:42,760 Speaker 2: Of course, content creators have also got to live on 1041 01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,440 Speaker 2: we behind the curve as African content creators compared to 1042 01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,640 Speaker 2: the rest of the world in terms of monetizing content. 1043 01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:56,080 Speaker 11: Yes, I think that, you know, content creators in general 1044 01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,720 Speaker 11: aren't as. 1045 01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:00,000 Speaker 2: Four things. 1046 01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,640 Speaker 11: Well, I'm thinking ahead as much as as content creators 1047 01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:08,520 Speaker 11: internationally are. That being said, I do think in general 1048 01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:12,800 Speaker 11: content coming out of Africa is world class. I mean, 1049 01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:16,919 Speaker 11: the content creators that are on the platforms that are 1050 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:21,320 Speaker 11: creating content are doing it to a high level. But yes, 1051 01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:25,880 Speaker 11: there's a lot of opportunity still in how they can monetize. 1052 01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,120 Speaker 11: You know, I think a lot of a lot of 1053 01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:33,360 Speaker 11: content creators rely on brands for partnership, and I think 1054 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,240 Speaker 11: that's where you know, there's there's a lot of other 1055 01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:40,440 Speaker 11: opportunities available to them as opposed to working with the brand. 1056 01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:44,680 Speaker 2: Perhaps maybe take us through what those other opportunities are. 1057 01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:49,439 Speaker 2: There is the brand content that you spoke about what else, 1058 01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:51,720 Speaker 2: what other opportunities are available. 1059 01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,960 Speaker 11: So I think there there hasn't been a lot done 1060 01:03:56,040 --> 01:04:00,880 Speaker 11: with affiliate marketing, so you know that is using your 1061 01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:06,200 Speaker 11: content to drive sales. I think there are a few 1062 01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,280 Speaker 11: brands in South Africa that are doing it, but not 1063 01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:12,439 Speaker 11: as big as as it is internationally. I do think 1064 01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,840 Speaker 11: definitely into you know, twenty twenty six, still can't believe 1065 01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,040 Speaker 11: I'm saying that it feels like the beginning of twenty 1066 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:21,440 Speaker 11: twenty five, but going into twenty twenty six with you know, 1067 01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:25,560 Speaker 11: the rise of e commerce brands and companies, and people 1068 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,640 Speaker 11: want to know that if I'm paying you to create content, 1069 01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,520 Speaker 11: it is generating X amount of sales and that can 1070 01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:33,200 Speaker 11: be done through affiliate marketing. 1071 01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:34,040 Speaker 10: You know. 1072 01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:37,400 Speaker 11: The sad reality is that we don't get nice things 1073 01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:43,120 Speaker 11: in Africa like a TikTok creator rewards program for example. 1074 01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:46,600 Speaker 11: You know, there has been limited rollout of it into Africa, 1075 01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:51,240 Speaker 11: but you know, it's not as ludicrous of an earning 1076 01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:55,800 Speaker 11: platform as it is to people in the States. So 1077 01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:59,400 Speaker 11: platform payouts are huge. You know, there's TikTok, there's YouTube. 1078 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,200 Speaker 11: A lot of South African YouTubers that I don't think 1079 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,800 Speaker 11: get the kind of earnings will put as much effort 1080 01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:10,920 Speaker 11: into longer form content as our international counterparts. 1081 01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:12,400 Speaker 2: UGC. 1082 01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,720 Speaker 11: Content creation for brands I think is a huge opportunity. So, 1083 01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:21,080 Speaker 11: you know, if you know how to grow your platform, 1084 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,280 Speaker 11: you know how to do that for brands. And I 1085 01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,080 Speaker 11: think a lot of people want the brand to work 1086 01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:29,520 Speaker 11: with them on their own platforms, and they sometimes forget about, 1087 01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:36,880 Speaker 11: you know, creating local, authentic content for brands. I think 1088 01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:42,200 Speaker 11: that's another great way. Then merchandising and creating your own 1089 01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:49,880 Speaker 11: physical project products. One of my favorite TikTokers is Spercorcle Scrumptious. 1090 01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,920 Speaker 11: She's done this fantastically. She's just brought out her own 1091 01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,960 Speaker 11: lip gloss that she's selling. So now not only is 1092 01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:01,680 Speaker 11: she creating you know, branded content, she's also on a 1093 01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:05,520 Speaker 11: monthly basis, can be selling her own product her lip 1094 01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:10,960 Speaker 11: class is really great. Then also creating digital project products, 1095 01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:15,200 Speaker 11: and I think this is where in particular, African content 1096 01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:20,560 Speaker 11: creators aren't doing enough. We have so much knowledge and 1097 01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:24,400 Speaker 11: skill in this country and in Africa in general. You know, 1098 01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,560 Speaker 11: you could package that into an ebook on how to 1099 01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:32,120 Speaker 11: grow your account onto a guide for TikTok, for Instagram, 1100 01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:35,160 Speaker 11: for YouTube, building a toolkit. 1101 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:35,800 Speaker 4: You know, is it. 1102 01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:40,680 Speaker 11: How to you know, a toolkit on the best products 1103 01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,280 Speaker 11: to buy with an affiliate link that you can then 1104 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:47,360 Speaker 11: not only be selling the digital product and getting you know, 1105 01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:52,000 Speaker 11: affiliate payouts from the camera you're recommending or the phone 1106 01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:57,320 Speaker 11: you're recommending or the the ring light. And this is 1107 01:06:57,720 --> 01:06:59,560 Speaker 11: that that's something that I don't see a lot of 1108 01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:06,160 Speaker 11: creators doing. And then also courses and workshops, master classes. 1109 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,560 Speaker 11: You know, this is any time that you can give 1110 01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:14,360 Speaker 11: your community access to you to learn is something that 1111 01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:20,439 Speaker 11: people who are really like bought into you online would 1112 01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:24,880 Speaker 11: pay money for. And that personal touch on how you've 1113 01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:29,320 Speaker 11: grown and sharing your skill is also really valuable. And 1114 01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:33,800 Speaker 11: then you know it's I guess coaching, coaching people how 1115 01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:38,800 Speaker 11: to grow on these platforms, how how you started, how 1116 01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:42,960 Speaker 11: you got there. Like you know, all brands want to 1117 01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:49,120 Speaker 11: have TikTok or Instagram accounts that are growing have an 1118 01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:53,320 Speaker 11: active community, but they don't always have the manpower to 1119 01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:56,880 Speaker 11: be creating content as much as somebody who can just 1120 01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:01,600 Speaker 11: pull out their phone and start documenting things. So, you know, 1121 01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,880 Speaker 11: giving that sort of coaching on how how you could 1122 01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:09,600 Speaker 11: run your brand Instagram or TikTok account as a personal 1123 01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:14,040 Speaker 11: account is hugely valuable. And then last one is also 1124 01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:18,160 Speaker 11: something that we don't do enough of here in Africa, 1125 01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:23,160 Speaker 11: and you know, it's one of my bugbears is memberships 1126 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:26,240 Speaker 11: and subscriptions, you know, if you really really love a 1127 01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:31,000 Speaker 11: content creator, and I do this internationally, but there's just 1128 01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:33,720 Speaker 11: not a lot of content creators that have these platforms 1129 01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,400 Speaker 11: set up properly in South Africa. But you know, you 1130 01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:39,599 Speaker 11: could set up a Patreon account where once a week 1131 01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:43,560 Speaker 11: you go live with your community. They can ask you questions, 1132 01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:45,920 Speaker 11: they can connect with you one on one and they 1133 01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,559 Speaker 11: pay a little subscription for that, you know, and that 1134 01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:53,160 Speaker 11: starts to make the content creation side of things more sustainable. 1135 01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:55,720 Speaker 11: We all want to know what's going to land up 1136 01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:57,639 Speaker 11: in our bank account at the end of the month. 1137 01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:01,840 Speaker 11: And sadly, being a content creator, it's much like a freelancer. 1138 01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,759 Speaker 11: You know, you don't know if there are some months 1139 01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,920 Speaker 11: that you could be making huge amounts of funds and 1140 01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,640 Speaker 11: there's some months where you could make nothing, whereas a 1141 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:15,280 Speaker 11: subscription or using the sort of subscription platforms are available, 1142 01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:20,480 Speaker 11: starts to make your monthly income you know, more comfortable. 1143 01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:26,080 Speaker 2: Justine, we're going to have to wrap it up there 1144 01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:29,120 Speaker 2: for the evening.

We have 1191 01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:33,599 Speaker 2: some trust in the fact that if they are on 1192 01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:37,559 Speaker 2: the shelves, then they've probably passed all the right, you know, 1193 01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:40,880 Speaker 2: steps in terms of getting onto the shelves.

And then 1200 01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,080 Speaker 2: just before we took Eyewitness News headlines, we had a 1201 01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:11,400 Speaker 2: conversation as well with Justine Ninabo, who's the CEO of 1202 01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:17,120 Speaker 2: Punky staff Fish Digital Agency, about content creation and monetizing 1203 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:20,160 Speaker 2: the content that you put out there so that it 1204 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:24,800 Speaker 2: pays you to create content as well. And now, in 1205 01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:26,920 Speaker 2: these last twenty minutes that we have on the show, 1206 01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:30,600 Speaker 2: back by popular demand, I want to say we have 1207 01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,880 Speaker 2: Nom Danies Toler, who's the CEO and founder of A 1208 01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:36,320 Speaker 2: Gender Woman, coming back this time to speak to us 1209 01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:40,120 Speaker 2: about how you then create your personal brand. And I 1210 01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,360 Speaker 2: think it ties in quite nicely with some of the 1211 01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:46,280 Speaker 2: conversations we've had, especially with that previous one with Justine. 1212 01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:49,320 Speaker 2: You know about putting your brand out there, but how 1213 01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:53,160 Speaker 2: do you create your your personal brand? How do you 1214 01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:56,519 Speaker 2: become a personal brand? Nom Dandy, A very good evening 1215 01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:58,080 Speaker 2: to you, Thank you so much for coming back to 1216 01:13:58,080 --> 01:13:59,720 Speaker 2: sev No. Two in Kpe talk. 1217 01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:02,759 Speaker 5: Good evening, not Kanya here to this is Home. 1218 01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:09,759 Speaker 2: Now look anytime for you at this is Home please no, no, no, 1219 01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,479 Speaker 2: tell me why is it so important that we build 1220 01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:15,719 Speaker 2: a personal brand? And you know, how do we become 1221 01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:18,600 Speaker 2: conscious of the brand that we put out there for 1222 01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:22,760 Speaker 2: people or that we engage with, whether it's on social media, 1223 01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:24,800 Speaker 2: whether it's on the airwaves like you and I are 1224 01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,639 Speaker 2: doing right now, or whether it's just face to FaZe 1225 01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,400 Speaker 2: conversations that we have with people on a day to day. 1226 01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:35,120 Speaker 5: Frightly, I think the number one point is when you're 1227 01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:38,320 Speaker 5: thinking about personal branding is maybe let me start with 1228 01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:41,960 Speaker 5: the myth, right and the stereotides around personal branding. It 1229 01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,800 Speaker 5: is not about being on social media. I have to 1230 01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:48,360 Speaker 5: repeat this. A personal brand is not about a social 1231 01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,400 Speaker 5: media footprint. I'll come back to this if we get 1232 01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:53,080 Speaker 5: a chance. But the importance of personal branding and kine 1233 01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:55,200 Speaker 5: is we go into twenty twenty six and the years 1234 01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:57,519 Speaker 5: that are coming, is that we're seeing such a high 1235 01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:01,240 Speaker 5: rise of AI right we have when you go on YouTube, 1236 01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,200 Speaker 5: for instance, there's so many channels that don't have personalities 1237 01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:06,800 Speaker 5: where it's someone's voice are scened with people like Miles 1238 01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:10,559 Speaker 5: Monroe and so many other popular names that it's going 1239 01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:12,599 Speaker 5: to be very, very difficult in the future to figure 1240 01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:14,680 Speaker 5: out what is the truth from a life. It's the 1241 01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,320 Speaker 5: same you think about your work, what is going to 1242 01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:21,120 Speaker 5: make you exceptionally special? When you're going to have a 1243 01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:24,400 Speaker 5: world where a lot of businesses and organizations are going 1244 01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:27,920 Speaker 5: to be looking at technology for skill sets, and that 1245 01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:30,200 Speaker 5: is going to be the magic of a personal brand 1246 01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:32,479 Speaker 5: that is shown in a value proposition that is care 1247 01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,840 Speaker 5: around what you bring to the table. That is going 1248 01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:37,880 Speaker 5: to be the importance of personal branding when we go 1249 01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,679 Speaker 5: into the future, that you have a clear, unique setting 1250 01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:47,160 Speaker 5: proposition that communicates your value intrinsically to any organization, and 1251 01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:49,920 Speaker 5: you are here at every touch point that people experience you, 1252 01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:53,880 Speaker 5: that you make sure that the uskey shines through. 1253 01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:57,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, and just maybe let's start with what you were 1254 01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:00,400 Speaker 2: hoping that we maybe circle back to a little but 1255 01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:03,240 Speaker 2: that conversation about the fact that it's not just limited 1256 01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:06,560 Speaker 2: to social media, but it's those face to face conversations 1257 01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:10,360 Speaker 2: that we have with people. Why is it important for 1258 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:14,000 Speaker 2: you to draw that distinction? Firstly, So at. 1259 01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,839 Speaker 5: The beginning of twenty thirty five, I launched master classes 1260 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:20,280 Speaker 5: on personal branding. I saw an incredible uptake of those 1261 01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:22,160 Speaker 5: master classes. I went in and I wanted to do 1262 01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:24,680 Speaker 5: like one hundred tickets to sell. We ended up with 1263 01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:27,680 Speaker 5: two hundreds in eight days for Johannesburg alone. We did 1264 01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:32,000 Speaker 5: the same Durban and Cape Town, and then we launched coaching. Personally, 1265 01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:35,479 Speaker 5: I've been coaching people who are founders and corporate working women, 1266 01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:38,880 Speaker 5: particularly on personal branding. And one of the things that 1267 01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:40,880 Speaker 5: I've seen is that people think that you have to 1268 01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,320 Speaker 5: be on social media to build a personal brand. Social 1269 01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:46,240 Speaker 5: media is not a brand, it is a platform. It 1270 01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:49,519 Speaker 5: is a place where you go and communicate your brand. 1271 01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,200 Speaker 5: Sometimes I have people coming into the coaching sessions saying 1272 01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:54,120 Speaker 5: I don't want to be on Instagram, and I say, 1273 01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:56,280 Speaker 5: I don't know. It will be determined by where your 1274 01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,639 Speaker 5: audience is and what you want to say. For instance, 1275 01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:01,080 Speaker 5: a lot of corporate working people honestly don't need to 1276 01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,080 Speaker 5: be honest at them unless they're doing it for fun 1277 01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:06,320 Speaker 5: and they want to share their private moments with their families. 1278 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,200 Speaker 5: But most of the opportunities that they want to market 1279 01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:12,000 Speaker 5: to they want to market their personal brands to a 1280 01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:14,840 Speaker 5: probably on a platform like LinkedIn. So I want to 1281 01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:17,679 Speaker 5: make a kid station for anyone who saves anxiety around 1282 01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:21,040 Speaker 5: building a personal brand thinking that number one, they have 1283 01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:24,320 Speaker 5: to create visibility for everyone and number two that they 1284 01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,599 Speaker 5: have to be on social media. One of the tasks 1285 01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:30,959 Speaker 5: that I go on with my personal brand coaching clients 1286 01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:34,759 Speaker 5: is who is your target audience? If your boss, for instance, 1287 01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:37,680 Speaker 5: is your target audience, and you're very clear around you 1288 01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:39,960 Speaker 5: want to get a promotion, then the person you need 1289 01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:42,280 Speaker 5: to target is your boss, and you need to think 1290 01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:46,439 Speaker 5: about all the places where they're consuming data, particularly around 1291 01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:49,400 Speaker 5: work or even about you, and you position yourself for 1292 01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:52,760 Speaker 5: visibility on those platforms. So it's not about being on 1293 01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,960 Speaker 5: every platform. It's about being clear about who your target 1294 01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,719 Speaker 5: audience is, what you want to say, what they determine 1295 01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:01,960 Speaker 5: its value, and what the outcome you want is and 1296 01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:04,960 Speaker 5: where you then start to have that conversation so that 1297 01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:06,760 Speaker 5: you have the visibility that you want to have. 1298 01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,560 Speaker 2: When you do have a strong personal brand, what is 1299 01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,519 Speaker 2: the impact for whether you're looking at your career growth, 1300 01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:17,320 Speaker 2: whether you're looking at business opportunities, or even you're earning potential, 1301 01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:21,479 Speaker 2: what's the impact of a really good, strong personal brand. 1302 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,519 Speaker 5: I think, like any brand, not Pania, it's about being 1303 01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:26,880 Speaker 5: top of mind and not just being top of mind, 1304 01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:30,160 Speaker 5: having consistency around the experience that people have of you. 1305 01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,720 Speaker 5: So when you think about brands that are strong, it's 1306 01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:35,479 Speaker 5: say Coca Cola, for instance, because personal branding and proper 1307 01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,479 Speaker 5: branding are similar but not the same, right, So when 1308 01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:40,720 Speaker 5: you think about Coca Cola and the promise that they 1309 01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:43,280 Speaker 5: make to you, it's around refreshment. Most of the time, 1310 01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:45,559 Speaker 5: when you think about grabbing a coke is because you 1311 01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,639 Speaker 5: are thirsty you should be grabbing water maybe, but top 1312 01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:51,800 Speaker 5: of mind, you're thinking I need refreshment. And that's the 1313 01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,880 Speaker 5: promise that they're going to deliver on. That makes a 1314 01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:59,160 Speaker 5: strong brand. When people think about you, what do they 1315 01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:02,200 Speaker 5: believe the outcome is going to be of having an 1316 01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:06,400 Speaker 5: experience with you. Consistent delivery on that promise is what 1317 01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,639 Speaker 5: makes you a strong personal brand in the workplace. For instance, 1318 01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,719 Speaker 5: if you decide I want to be a reliable person, 1319 01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:14,559 Speaker 5: I want to be the person they think about first 1320 01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,639 Speaker 5: when they think about problem solving. Whether there's a detriment 1321 01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:19,720 Speaker 5: to that or they are positives to that, let's just 1322 01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:23,519 Speaker 5: say that the statement that your personal brand delivers on. 1323 01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:25,840 Speaker 5: Then what you go out and set out to do 1324 01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:28,320 Speaker 5: is that your top of mind every time is a 1325 01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:30,479 Speaker 5: problem that needs to be solved, and then you start 1326 01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:33,439 Speaker 5: to determine how does that get you to the ranking 1327 01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,400 Speaker 5: in a professional setting that you want. It doesn't have 1328 01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:38,400 Speaker 5: to be the same for everyone, but you have to 1329 01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:41,120 Speaker 5: have a clear statement that says this is the outcome 1330 01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:43,920 Speaker 5: that people are going to have when they experience me, 1331 01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,040 Speaker 5: and what you then do is build your behavior around 1332 01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:51,120 Speaker 5: delivering on that outcome consistently, then your brand is strong. 1333 01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,640 Speaker 5: For whatever the reason is. You have to have that 1334 01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:56,760 Speaker 5: statement and you need to deliver on that statement consistently. 1335 01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:00,160 Speaker 2: Early and Lon Deny we had a conversation about setting 1336 01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,599 Speaker 2: goals for twenty twenty six. So when you look at 1337 01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:06,080 Speaker 2: some of the goals, whether it's in your personal capacity 1338 01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:09,320 Speaker 2: or within your professional space, when you look at some 1339 01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,559 Speaker 2: of the goals that you've set, how does that then 1340 01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:14,439 Speaker 2: play into the personal brand that you have or that 1341 01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:17,519 Speaker 2: you're trying to create or vice versa. Really, how does 1342 01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:18,840 Speaker 2: which one play into the other. 1343 01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:23,360 Speaker 5: There's an exercise that I take my clients through when 1344 01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:27,280 Speaker 5: I do master parties and workshops that I do workshops 1345 01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:30,839 Speaker 5: also for corporate organizations, and I've worked with so many BMW, 1346 01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:33,680 Speaker 5: Laurel my Way, et cetera. One of the things I 1347 01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:38,000 Speaker 5: say is, think about the three terms that you want 1348 01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:41,240 Speaker 5: people to consistently say when they talk about you. Right, 1349 01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:43,360 Speaker 5: you're not in the room someone is talking about you, 1350 01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,360 Speaker 5: I'll tell you mine, for instance, mine is once, the 1351 01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:48,759 Speaker 5: second one is excellent, and the good one is intention. 1352 01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:52,040 Speaker 5: And every single time I hear people talking about me 1353 01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:55,080 Speaker 5: and those needs come up, it means I'm doing right 1354 01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:57,479 Speaker 5: when it comes to how I'm showing up as a 1355 01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:00,559 Speaker 5: personal brand. So for every single person, you have to 1356 01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,840 Speaker 5: determine what those few words are for yourself, and those 1357 01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:05,680 Speaker 5: words are going to be linked to the outcome that 1358 01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:08,400 Speaker 5: you want in terms of success for yourself, and you 1359 01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:10,680 Speaker 5: can deal and lit my test where you go to 1360 01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:12,400 Speaker 5: just five people who are close to you and you 1361 01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:14,679 Speaker 5: ask them the same thing, what are the three words 1362 01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:17,519 Speaker 5: that you would describe You would use in describing means 1363 01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:20,680 Speaker 5: When you look at what your ambitions are and what 1364 01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:23,559 Speaker 5: those words are, you start to determine if you are 1365 01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,719 Speaker 5: doing the right things that get you to the place 1366 01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:27,760 Speaker 5: where you want to go. So even as you go 1367 01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:30,280 Speaker 5: into twenty twenty six, go into twenty twenty six with 1368 01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:33,400 Speaker 5: those three words and don't do more than three. Try 1369 01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:35,400 Speaker 5: as much as you can to limit it to only 1370 01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:38,880 Speaker 5: three words. And as the year begins, ask five people 1371 01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:40,760 Speaker 5: who are close to you, people don't like you, people 1372 01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:42,720 Speaker 5: who don't like you, people who have internecy with you, 1373 01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:44,960 Speaker 5: people who don't have internecy with you, but just people 1374 01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:47,240 Speaker 5: who get to experience you. What are their three words 1375 01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:49,599 Speaker 5: when they think about describing you, And start to set 1376 01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:51,920 Speaker 5: your goals around what will get you to a place 1377 01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,599 Speaker 5: where the three words that you want to be described 1378 01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:57,080 Speaker 5: as are the three words that people give you back 1379 01:21:57,200 --> 01:21:59,800 Speaker 5: when you ask them this question. So then the behavior, 1380 01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:01,880 Speaker 5: the habits, and whatever it is that you're going to 1381 01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,559 Speaker 5: be building for the year, you make sure that they 1382 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:06,760 Speaker 5: believe that outcome for you when you get to the 1383 01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:09,800 Speaker 5: middle of the year or whatever your goal timeline is 1384 01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:10,280 Speaker 5: going to be. 1385 01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:13,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we are when we are reflecting on building 1386 01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:16,040 Speaker 2: that personal brand, what do you reckon on some of 1387 01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:18,760 Speaker 2: the biggest mistakes that you've seen people make when they 1388 01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,679 Speaker 2: are trying to build it or manage their personal brands, 1389 01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:24,800 Speaker 2: whether it's an established one or somebody who's only now 1390 01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:27,479 Speaker 2: thinking about what that brand needs to look like. 1391 01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:32,639 Speaker 5: That's an interesting question. I often don't think in that direction, 1392 01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:34,920 Speaker 5: but it's a good thing for people to be able 1393 01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:37,040 Speaker 5: to determine what it is that they need to not 1394 01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:39,639 Speaker 5: be doing. And I think one of the things, particularly 1395 01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:41,920 Speaker 5: even as you think about goal setting, is just doing 1396 01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:44,640 Speaker 5: too much, no kind of You can't set twenty goals 1397 01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,160 Speaker 5: for twenty twenty six. You have to figure out what 1398 01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:49,920 Speaker 5: your rhythm is when it comes to your capacity and 1399 01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:53,240 Speaker 5: when you think about personal brand building as well, it's 1400 01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,200 Speaker 5: a long game. There are going to be things that 1401 01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:57,280 Speaker 5: you'll be able to achieve in twenty twenty six, twenty 1402 01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:00,080 Speaker 5: twenty seven, twenty twenty eight, twenty nine, and thirty. And 1403 01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:01,760 Speaker 5: I know it can so overwhelming to think of your 1404 01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,160 Speaker 5: life in a five year span, And if that's what 1405 01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:06,599 Speaker 5: it feels that for yourself, I want to encourage you 1406 01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:10,560 Speaker 5: to just set one goal for the next three months. 1407 01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:12,680 Speaker 5: I know it sounds like it's little, but once you 1408 01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:15,160 Speaker 5: get into it, you start to realize how much it 1409 01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,560 Speaker 5: takes to actually show up consistently. 1410 01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:18,880 Speaker 4: So let's say if. 1411 01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:20,320 Speaker 5: The one goal I want to set it for the 1412 01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,120 Speaker 5: next three months around my personal brand is that people 1413 01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,000 Speaker 5: start to think of me as a person that shows 1414 01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:27,240 Speaker 5: up in an excellent way, then what I start to 1415 01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:29,840 Speaker 5: determine is where at the touch points where people are 1416 01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:35,920 Speaker 5: experiencing me networking situations, work environments, friendships, social media. If 1417 01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:38,120 Speaker 5: you're going to be on social media, what is it 1418 01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:40,880 Speaker 5: going to take for people to say she shows up 1419 01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:43,320 Speaker 5: in an excellent manner? I'll tell you. In my personal capacity. 1420 01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:45,760 Speaker 5: For twenty twenty five, for instance, one of the things 1421 01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:47,800 Speaker 5: I set out to do was I'm not going to 1422 01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:50,320 Speaker 5: have a lot of posts on my social media, but 1423 01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:53,679 Speaker 5: whenever I post, it was going to be an excellent post. 1424 01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:57,600 Speaker 5: And yes, someone can say that goes against authenticity, but 1425 01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:01,000 Speaker 5: that only matters if authenticity is one my words. If 1426 01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:03,599 Speaker 5: authenticity is not one of my words and excellence is, 1427 01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:05,720 Speaker 5: then I'm going to show up once a month and 1428 01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:08,040 Speaker 5: it's going to be the most beautiful post, the most 1429 01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:11,439 Speaker 5: curative post, with a clear cull to action. And if 1430 01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:14,200 Speaker 5: authenticity is yours, then you have a different objective that 1431 01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:16,479 Speaker 5: you want to reach. So I just want to say, 1432 01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,559 Speaker 5: choose one word for the next three months, choose behavior 1433 01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:22,400 Speaker 5: and activity that's going to support that word, and set 1434 01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,120 Speaker 5: out to make that a goal that you achieve by much. 1435 01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:29,519 Speaker 2: You made quite an interesting point about platforms and how 1436 01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:34,280 Speaker 2: you go about figuring out where your audience is and 1437 01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:39,240 Speaker 2: how that's geared too. Does that matter based on what 1438 01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:42,120 Speaker 2: filled you're in or does it really depend on what 1439 01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:44,559 Speaker 2: it is that you're hoping to achieve. So when you're 1440 01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:48,040 Speaker 2: speaking about your audience reach, how do you figure that 1441 01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:52,080 Speaker 2: out and how do you then set forward trying to 1442 01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:53,799 Speaker 2: reach that particular audience. 1443 01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:58,439 Speaker 5: Platforms are about audiences going through Once you figure out 1444 01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:01,479 Speaker 5: your audience is I have to determine where they are 1445 01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,240 Speaker 5: right and I'm going to go back to corporate working 1446 01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:07,360 Speaker 5: spaces because I feel like a lot of particularly I 1447 01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:10,599 Speaker 5: work with women who I in corporate working spaces, feel 1448 01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,200 Speaker 5: like social media is not for them. So for me, 1449 01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:17,080 Speaker 5: for instance, because I work with women who are founders 1450 01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:19,400 Speaker 5: and who are in corporate working spaces, I know a 1451 01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:22,559 Speaker 5: lot of women on Instagram, I also understand what they value. 1452 01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:25,240 Speaker 5: I also understand what they determine as excellence. This is 1453 01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:28,120 Speaker 5: the background work that I've done to better understand how 1454 01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:30,880 Speaker 5: to position myself for them. So when I speak about 1455 01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,920 Speaker 5: personal branding, I know what they believe a good personal 1456 01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:36,240 Speaker 5: brand looks like. And I show up in that manner 1457 01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:39,800 Speaker 5: and that's how I convert. So it filters through to 1458 01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:42,920 Speaker 5: my retail space. So if I'm thinking I want to 1459 01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,240 Speaker 5: show up, I want to use fashion, there is a 1460 01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:47,600 Speaker 5: channel for me that's in the retail space where I 1461 01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:50,040 Speaker 5: can pull some of the clothing that is there bring 1462 01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:53,200 Speaker 5: it into my personal branding narrative. But for instance, if 1463 01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:55,320 Speaker 5: you are a woman who wants to climb up the 1464 01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:58,760 Speaker 5: corporate letter and you are speaking to someone who is 1465 01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:02,439 Speaker 5: looking at how do you think about leadership, How do 1466 01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:05,719 Speaker 5: you think about the brand that you work for. Those 1467 01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:08,479 Speaker 5: people are mostly speaking on LinkedIn, so it might not 1468 01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:11,679 Speaker 5: benefit too much to be on Instagram unless it's something 1469 01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:14,160 Speaker 5: that you really like. But the voice that you want 1470 01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:17,160 Speaker 5: to build and establish might be more prominent on a 1471 01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:19,760 Speaker 5: platform like LinkedIn, and then for that reason you want 1472 01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:22,240 Speaker 5: to make sure you utilize that to the best of 1473 01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:25,479 Speaker 5: your ability. You have to determine who your audience is. 1474 01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:28,040 Speaker 5: You have to understand what the value proposition that you 1475 01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:30,439 Speaker 5: want to deliver is. Then you have to find the 1476 01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:33,040 Speaker 5: platform that's going to give you the space to be 1477 01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:35,680 Speaker 5: able to do that in the best of your ability. 1478 01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:38,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're just joining us now, we're speaking to 1479 01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:40,880 Speaker 2: Nomdnis Toiler, who's the CEO and founder of a Gender 1480 01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:43,160 Speaker 2: Woman here on sev No. Two and cape talk just 1481 01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:47,680 Speaker 2: looking at how to invest in your personal brand, not 1482 01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:50,040 Speaker 2: just going into twenty twenty six, but I think just 1483 01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:54,400 Speaker 2: as a general exercise for the sake of longevity and 1484 01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:57,640 Speaker 2: whatever it is that you hope to achieve.

She's the CEO and founder 1499 01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:45,840 Speaker 2: of a Gender Woman NOM Denny, thanks again still for 1500 01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:49,880 Speaker 2: being with us. How do I know that my personal 1501 01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:53,519 Speaker 2: brand is impactful in whatever it is that I've set 1502 01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:53,920 Speaker 2: out to do? 1503 01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:57,080 Speaker 5: How do I measure that the same way that you 1504 01:27:57,200 --> 01:27:59,360 Speaker 5: measure in the goal? Are you getting the results that 1505 01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:03,880 Speaker 5: you want? And I think this is fundamental in going 1506 01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:06,840 Speaker 5: into the conversation of goal setting. But the importance of 1507 01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:10,000 Speaker 5: goal setting is that it becomes your KPI without a 1508 01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:14,400 Speaker 5: care goal that is smart right, that is specific, that 1509 01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:18,600 Speaker 5: is measurable that you can articulate that it has a timeline, 1510 01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:20,720 Speaker 5: you're not going to be able to measure if you're 1511 01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:23,439 Speaker 5: effective or not. Then, as you young people call it, 1512 01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:26,000 Speaker 5: you're just doing it for vibes. You have to be 1513 01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:29,240 Speaker 5: clear about what success looks like in order to be 1514 01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:32,040 Speaker 5: able to determine whether you're successful. It's the same thing 1515 01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:34,479 Speaker 5: with that management. If you're saying you want to be 1516 01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:36,559 Speaker 5: able to get out of debt, you have to be 1517 01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:38,880 Speaker 5: able to know how much you have so that you 1518 01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:41,600 Speaker 5: know that you're out of it. It's very, very important 1519 01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:44,360 Speaker 5: to be very clear about what success is going to 1520 01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:46,760 Speaker 5: look like and the timeline that's going to get you there. 1521 01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:50,560 Speaker 2: And in an instance where you feel it's not necessarily 1522 01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:54,200 Speaker 2: being impactful and you think it may be time to rebrand, 1523 01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:57,439 Speaker 2: how do you work through that? How do you either 1524 01:28:57,720 --> 01:29:00,840 Speaker 2: whether it's an issue of impact and you don't think 1525 01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:04,880 Speaker 2: it's being impactful, or you're having to rebuild reposition your 1526 01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:09,080 Speaker 2: personal brand, whether after a setback or a career change 1527 01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:14,120 Speaker 2: or this controversy, how do you rebrand after setting out 1528 01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:15,760 Speaker 2: what your personal brand is. 1529 01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:18,719 Speaker 5: I want to say you need to just get onto 1530 01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:21,120 Speaker 5: my coaching sessions. That's one of the things that you 1531 01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:23,640 Speaker 5: can do. But outside of that, you have to go 1532 01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:25,920 Speaker 5: back to the drawing board and maybe I can share 1533 01:29:26,200 --> 01:29:28,559 Speaker 5: some of the steps that you can go into which 1534 01:29:28,640 --> 01:29:32,080 Speaker 5: I take people through when I do do coaching sessions. 1535 01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:34,720 Speaker 5: So I offer ten sessions when after I've done a 1536 01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:37,120 Speaker 5: discovery call, because I always want to get a sense 1537 01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:40,360 Speaker 5: of are you looking for what I can help you with? 1538 01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:42,680 Speaker 5: And after discovery call, if I feel like maybe it's 1539 01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:45,040 Speaker 5: not personal branding that you need, or maybe there isn't 1540 01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:47,360 Speaker 5: an alignment in values and you're looking for something different 1541 01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:49,920 Speaker 5: than I, don't continue. But if I do continue, one 1542 01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:53,360 Speaker 5: of the first steps I start with is determining your why. 1543 01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:55,639 Speaker 5: It's going into your golden circle. So if I've got 1544 01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:59,320 Speaker 5: two sessions, we explore your why. What is it that 1545 01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:02,200 Speaker 5: you want? Why do you want to build a personal brand? 1546 01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:04,200 Speaker 5: That's the best way to see in it. Why do 1547 01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:06,360 Speaker 5: you want to build a personal brand? And again, I 1548 01:30:06,439 --> 01:30:11,479 Speaker 5: want to use a corporate working woman example, right, so 1549 01:30:12,120 --> 01:30:14,559 Speaker 5: I want to build a personal brand because I want 1550 01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:17,880 Speaker 5: to create visibility in front of let's say you're working 1551 01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:20,679 Speaker 5: in one department, you want to create visibility for another department. 1552 01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:22,479 Speaker 5: I'm going to use it as an example of a Lady 1553 01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:25,439 Speaker 5: World coach who was an HR and she wanted to 1554 01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:29,559 Speaker 5: get a particular promotion. So firstly, you know that the 1555 01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:31,760 Speaker 5: person with your target audience is the person that has 1556 01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:34,559 Speaker 5: to make the decision around that promotion. So we go 1557 01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:37,000 Speaker 5: into your wife because what your wife does is it 1558 01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:41,920 Speaker 5: helps you articulate a clear USP. So a USP is 1559 01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:44,120 Speaker 5: your unique selling proposition. Let's say for you, not Kanya, 1560 01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:48,479 Speaker 5: your wife is you are passionate about seeing young people 1561 01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:51,120 Speaker 5: move up the corporate ranks, right and you're in HR, 1562 01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:53,400 Speaker 5: So you're sitting in the best position to be able 1563 01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:57,000 Speaker 5: to assist people to better understand how to navigate the workplace. 1564 01:30:57,240 --> 01:30:59,639 Speaker 5: How does that work for you? It fulfills your mission, 1565 01:30:59,640 --> 01:31:02,599 Speaker 5: yourson mission? How does that work for the organization? You're 1566 01:31:02,640 --> 01:31:05,280 Speaker 5: going to help the organization make sure that the people 1567 01:31:05,280 --> 01:31:07,720 Speaker 5: that are in the organization are happy because you're going 1568 01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:10,439 Speaker 5: to be invested in better understanding their means. So that's 1569 01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:13,240 Speaker 5: a why that is aligned with the organizations that you're with. 1570 01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:16,960 Speaker 5: And then the how is determining what is the how 1571 01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:19,439 Speaker 5: do you do this thing uniquely? What is it that 1572 01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:21,559 Speaker 5: makes you do this thing differently from someone else. It 1573 01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:23,479 Speaker 5: could be your history, it could be your experience, it 1574 01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:25,479 Speaker 5: could be where you come from. That could be the 1575 01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:28,240 Speaker 5: reason that maybe you care about a particular demographic and 1576 01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:30,920 Speaker 5: that could align with your organization as well. The third 1577 01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:34,240 Speaker 5: part is the what right the what is then the 1578 01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:37,160 Speaker 5: actual work that you do, whether you sent within the ranking, 1579 01:31:37,200 --> 01:31:39,719 Speaker 5: are you junior, are you senior, are you middle management? 1580 01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:42,200 Speaker 5: What does it mean in terms of what you'll be 1581 01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:45,240 Speaker 5: able to move because you consider goal that you can 1582 01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:48,320 Speaker 5: only achieve if you're a senior within an organization, if 1583 01:31:48,360 --> 01:31:51,200 Speaker 5: you're a junior person in the organization, So whi our 1584 01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:55,320 Speaker 5: two sessions? We just go into determining those three answers. 1585 01:31:55,439 --> 01:31:57,439 Speaker 5: What is your why? How do you do things? And 1586 01:31:57,479 --> 01:31:59,560 Speaker 5: what is the what the second sessions and then the 1587 01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:02,000 Speaker 5: sort of audience. Who is going to move the needle 1588 01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:03,600 Speaker 5: for you? And it's the same thing you can do 1589 01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:06,040 Speaker 5: when you rebrand right, Who is going to move the 1590 01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:08,040 Speaker 5: little for you that is going to get you to 1591 01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:10,800 Speaker 5: the goal that you're setting for twenty twenty six when 1592 01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:13,240 Speaker 5: it comes to your personal brand. And then the third 1593 01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:17,360 Speaker 5: the this is four sessions now seven six is going 1594 01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:21,120 Speaker 5: into numbers, right, what is the number that we're going 1595 01:32:21,160 --> 01:32:23,519 Speaker 5: to get you to a position where you're comfortable. So 1596 01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:27,280 Speaker 5: even as you're going to negotiations for salary, determining when 1597 01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:30,320 Speaker 5: is the right time to have the conversation around getting 1598 01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:33,320 Speaker 5: a better number. When it comes to your job, I 1599 01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:35,360 Speaker 5: literally sit with you and I say, when do you, 1600 01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:37,720 Speaker 5: guys look at these numbers in the organization? Do you 1601 01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:40,519 Speaker 5: even know who can give you the data? What do 1602 01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:42,479 Speaker 5: you need to be turning in order for you to 1603 01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:44,680 Speaker 5: be comfortable? And is this position going to get you 1604 01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:46,600 Speaker 5: there or are you going to get there within the 1605 01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:49,080 Speaker 5: next three years. When we're done with that, we go 1606 01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:52,559 Speaker 5: into platforms only, so you see platforms only appear in 1607 01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:56,479 Speaker 5: sessions eight. If I'm not mistaken to then say, what's 1608 01:32:56,520 --> 01:32:59,280 Speaker 5: going to position you outside of the organization that you're 1609 01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:02,599 Speaker 5: in the authority when it comes to a person who 1610 01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:06,520 Speaker 5: can help people move from middle management to citymn management. 1611 01:33:06,800 --> 01:33:08,920 Speaker 5: And then you start figuring out what is the data 1612 01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:10,519 Speaker 5: you need to be sharing, how do you build the 1613 01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:13,360 Speaker 5: photology authority? How do you become the voice? Do you 1614 01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:16,040 Speaker 5: need to be speaking in conferences or not? So there 1615 01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:19,519 Speaker 5: is a very clear guideline that I take you through 1616 01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:22,040 Speaker 5: when it comes to building a personal brand.
