E54 Dr Renate Volpe - #WisdomPersonified - conversations with Dudu Msomi

Loading player...
“So often people assume that everyone has good parents”, was the answer to the response of my very first question. I knew that this conversation will be the epitome of what I hoped for when I conceived “Wisdom Personified Conversations with Dudu Msomi”.

I foresaw individuals opening up. Being vulnerable and courageous. Revealing to us their journey to #Wisdom. Which is not always a straight-line. So that their fellow human beings can be inspired. Learn from. And do better than they may have. As Maya Angelou said, “When you know better, you do better.”

This video #podcast series is about appreciating how individuals use good judgement in everyday life (both in their personal and professional lives). It is the interplay of the use of one’s intelligence, knowledge, creativity, common sense, and experience, and how it impacts their intra-personal, interpersonal and community relationships. It is not about perfection, but rather how they relate and cope in a world of challenges, changes, complexities, and crises.

Dr Renate Volpe is an expert in the field of strategic #leadership and people development. She is the founder of Dr R Volpe Leadership Consulting which has a vision to be a catalyst to the development of a more competent, positive and healthier South African society.

Renate has sound experience in the world of business and academia. A renowned public speaker and author of publications such as The Entrepreneurial Mindshift and the Lessons from the School of Hard Knocks.

Dr Renate’s story is raw. Unpretentious. Courageous. A living testament of a journey to Wisdom! You are privileged to be let in. Hope you are a better Human after watching or listening to this conversation.
