Goodbye South Africa π
I finally got an email I have been waiting for.
I am happy to announce that I have accepted a career opportunity in Beijing, China. π
We will be heading out in the last week of June to start our new life and a new beginning.
I would have texted everyone individually, but I thought it would be easier to post it here.
To my family, friends, colleagues, clients, partners and everyone who has been part of my journey, thank you.
I promise never to forget any of you, and I will cherish the amazing memories.
I am definitely going to miss every single one of you.
Goodbyes are hard, but I did not expect this one to be this hard.
I am going to miss you, my family.
But I will stay in touch.
Especially because this is not real. π
I just wanted to see how many people actually read posts until the end.
And since you are here, please read the caption on the image again:
READERS ARE LEADERS.
READERS ARE LEADERS.
You cannot sit on boards if you do not like or enjoy reading.
Governance is not vibes.
Board service is not a side hustle.
The ability to serve effectively on a board begins long before one enters the meeting room. It begins with the discipline to read, interrogate and understand the board pack.
A board pack is not an administrative bundle. It is the evidentiary foundation on which oversight, judgment and fiduciary responsibility rest.
So yes, this was a prank.
But the message is serious.
Read.
Study.
Prepare.
Govern.
Happy Friday ππ
