"I embrace change and adapt easily"

"everybody assumes that because I am black, I must speak isiZulu! I’m of South African descent, but the bulk of my experience has been in a totally different environment, culture and work ethic entirely."

"For me, resilience is not about how you fall, but how you get up"

"Financial advice has traditionally been a paper-heavy, face-to-face business"

"The move towards digitisation, both on the side of insurers and advisers, is playing a major role in driving down the costs of doing business while delivering better client experiences"

"The only way we’re going to meet these challenges is to transform – and that transformation must start with driving greater diversity and inclusion across the industry"

"Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there!"

"Have and own your voice as a young, ambitious woman, and do the work you need to, to be able to take your seat at the top table."

"Right now, our world and our people need a resilience revolution. And we, as women, are perfectly placed to lead it"

"Appoint more female professionals to increase gender equality and build trust"

"we must embrace greater diversity in our workplaces. In our thinking. In our levels of representation in gender, religion, race, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation and education"

"I’m driven by my love for life and by always striving to do the best in all I do"

"In my field, I’m passionate about how we ‘show up’ when people are at their most vulnerable and how we can ease the burdens of some of the most difficult realities of life."

"I think many women suffer from self-doubt and this is not because of their own doing"

"Women should be coached to put themselves out there, to have and own their voices, and to take up their seats at the table"

"One should have the business acumen and patience to build a sustainable business, rather than looking to make a quick buck"

"From a young age, I was taught to wake up early, work hard, never give up and never doubt mysel"
