Organizational leadership

Reading, Exercising and Watching TV

Reading: In my spare time, I enjoy delving into a wide range of genres, contemporary journals, from classic literature to contemporary fiction. I am an avid reader of Contemporary books, most specifically those aimed at fostering organisational development, and I make it a point to read at least one book per month. I am also an active member of a local book club where we discuss and analyze various literary works, which has deepened my appreciation for storytelling and diverse perspectives.

Exercising: Physical fitness is an integral part of my lifestyle, and I find joy in staying active through activities such as running, yoga, and HIIT workouts. I prioritize my health by engaging in regular exercise routines. Setting personal fitness goals motivates me to push myself further and strive for continuous improvement in my physical well-being.

Watching TV: As a form of relaxation, I unwind by immersing myself in captivating TV shows and movies. I have a penchant for drama series like "Muvhango" meaning the conflict," as well as documentaries that expand my knowledge and perspective on various subjects. I enjoy discussing plot twists and character development with fellow enthusiasts, and I appreciate how TV serves as a form of escapism and an avenue for storytelling that resonates with audiences worldwide.
