Chairlady’s Musings: August
I came across this on social media last week (so not my own wisdom) and thought I’d share it with you. “Just decide to love the heck out of your life and…
Chairlady’s Musings: July
Ode to June. A month of serious lows and fantastic highs, of lessons learned, resilience tested, aha moments, big decisions made (or in the making as I do love myself…
Chairlady’s Musings: June
Connection! Real, authentic connections. In a world of hashtags, followers, likes and algorithms, we must not forget the true importance of human connection. This is what is needed now. Not…
Chairlady’s May (or May not) Musings
It is definitely May-not-musings. Honestly, I’ve been wrecking my brain on what to chat about this month and came up with very little. Some light bulbs went off, but nothing…

What is your Splashy Fen? You guessed it! I just came back from 3 fun-filled days at Splashy Fen. This should be a short musing (went, had fun, came back!),…

Testimonials
Thank you to KZNWIB organizers for allowing me the opportunity to present to such a diverse range of talent! It was a privilege for me to engage with a great audience around changing perceptions on Disability as a value adding form of diversity – I look forward to networking with them further. To the organisors of the event – again thank you for such a professional and luxurious experience.

I joined KZNWIB in 2010 shortly after we opened our office of WSI. In the last 6 years I have grown from a shy, unsure newbie into the Chairperson of the organisation. These women have fed my soul, taught me about business and held my hand when times were tough. They are my support system and my sounding board - I would not be where I am today without this organisation.

Owner - WSI Durban
KZNWIB is not like any other networking organisation I've ever been involved in. More than business alliances are forged in this group, true friendships are developed.
Whenever I am looking for a service provider, fellow KZNWIB members are my first port of call. Not only do I use many fellow members as service providers but I in turn have received a lot of business from fellow members, which I am so very grateful for!

Just a note of thanks for allowing me the opportunity to address your members today on the importance of Credit Wellness. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would like to acknowledge you for a superbly run organisation and to let you know that you have an awesome membership. Keep up the good work and I look forward to attending future meetings
