KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE EVENT
From CEO to Mentors and entrepreneurs to change-makers, we had them all on Sunday. For those of you who missed our Masterclass here are some key takeaways from our panel of inspiring leaders:
+ Always have the conscience of giving back or including other communities in what you do.
+ When you fail, use that as a tool to see what went wrong and strive to do better.
+ Always be proud of your heritage & culture.
+ In order to have a successful business, ensure you have a diverse team that brings something different to the table.
+ Reading is the most efficient way to gain knowledge and overcome the inevitable adversities in business.
