Sinopsis

From 'naughty lists' to sprinting swans, wandering ducks to Amarula-based incentives, The First Kudu takes you on the roller coaster ride of a start-up, and dives into real learnings along the way.
The narrative invites you to journey through the chaos with the young team and unpacks in gritty detail what goes into building a tech start-up – with stories of fun and failure honestly told in equal measure.
The First Kudu tells the story of HouseME, a rental technology company founded in South Africa that grew to 34 employees and 50 000 registered users, processing hundreds of millions of rands each year. The company won awards, raised several rounds of funding and was sought after by competitors.
It was exciting.
It was excellent.
And then …
It was dead.
Ben Shaw (former CEO) and Lorne Hallendorff (former COO) provide a whirlwind tour of what goes into building a start-up at the southern tip of Africa and what they would do differently, were they to do it again.
Disponible desde: 20/10/2023.

    The world has changed, our lives have changed, and in recent years, our work has changed. Despite the disruption, our relationship and understanding of self-care have remained the same as we still see it as something fluffy or a perfect list of habits that we "do" alone outside of work to recover. But what if self-care wasn't something we "do"? What if self-care is a mindset that allows us to achieve peak performance, engagement, and growth without burning out and sacrificing our health and joy? 
     
     
     
    In The Self-Care Mindset, Jeanette Bronée delivers a groundbreaking approach that challenges us to rethink self-care at work so we no longer have to choose between being healthy and being successful. With Jeanette's inclusive approach to self-care, you will receive the tools to protect and unlock our most important resource: our humanity. You'll learn how to better manage stress, break free from living in survival mode, and navigate FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) so you can harness change and grow by reclaiming agency and recovering what you care about. You'll also: discover proven frameworks and useful tools, like "Power Pausing" and the "C.A.R.E. Framework"; find ways to move beyond the outdated concept of "work-life balance" to one of "work-life quality"; and learn to build an ecosystem of relationships with yourself, with others, and with work itself.
