  What Rugby Can Teach Us About Developing Young Talent

  Sep 30, 202644 min

  What happens when we stop asking, “Where is the talent?” and start asking, “What conditions allow talent to thrive?”In this episode of Wellness in the Workplace, Mbali and Yolisa explore the lessons from Rassie: Stories of Life and Rugby by Rassie Erasmus and David O’Sullivan, using South African rugby’s Elite Player Development (EPD) Programme as a blueprint for human development.We unpack how mentorship, coaching, investment, visibility and intentional talent development can transform potential into performance — and what this means for organisations trying to build diverse and sustainable talent pipelines.From rugby to the workplace, we explore the difference between recruitment and real inclusion, and ask whether great leadership is about finding talent or creating the conditions where talent can emerge. Part of the final season of Wellness in the Workplace, where we use books to rethink work, leadership and professional development.#WellnessInTheWorkplace #TalentDevelopment #Leadership #RassieErasmus #WorkplaceWellness #CareerDevelopment

  Books, Careers & the Unspoken Rules of Work

  Sep 16, 202642 min

  Welcome to the final season of Wellness in the Workplace.After years of conversations about workplace wellness, careers, professional relationships and the realities of navigating the world of work, we’re closing this chapter of the podcast but not before one final season of meaningful conversations.This season, we’re doing things a little differently.Mbali is joined by Yolisa Mdiya for a workplace "book club", where we’ll explore four books that offer different perspectives on professional development, workplace culture, identity, ambition and success.In this first episode, we introduce the new format and reflect on our own experiences of entering the professional world — from the culture shock of our first corporate environments to the unspoken rules we had to learn along the way.We also explore some of the ideas that have shaped our understanding of being Black professionals, including cultural capital, mentorship and sponsorship, and the reality that Black women can often be overmentored and underfunded.Most importantly, we ask: What can books teach us about the way we work, the way we navigate professional spaces, and the kind of workplaces we want to create?This season is about reading, reflecting and having the conversations that sit between the pages.Join Mbali and Yolisa as we turn the page on Wellness in the Workplace.#WorkplaceWellness #BookClub #CareerDevelopment #ProfessionalDevelopment #WorkplaceCulture #BlackProfessionals
