Bigger.Faster.Quicker.Results- this is the mentality of our society today. We encourage the “hustle”, the “grind” and our pace is no longer one of striding, rather one of striving. The dictionary says that to “strive” means to “struggle or fight vigorously” and to “stride” means ...
I adore science fiction, so much, in fact, that I would choose Spielberg over any Julia Roberts Rom-com in a heartbeat. Growing up, when my Father and I weren’t in nature, you could find us watching the latest sci-fi film and to this day, the futurism genre, acts as the cement to our bond. Persona...
Last week, I had the pleasure of attending a ‘Social Media Use’ seminar hosted by ENS Africa on behalf of our team. The room was covered in the ‘uniform’ dress code of the Financial Industry. Surrounded by ties, suits and LBD’s, I felt slightly undressed and out of my element, until the wo...

Rubble, mess and chaos. Three factors which are bound to occur when new things are being built. To build something new means that the old will be teared down and structure will fall away. Anybody who knows me, knows that I thrive off structure and organization. Over these last few weeks I have learn...
How I feel about HumanValue turning 2 is I’d imagine how a mom would feel about her baby turning 2 – bursting with pride, excitement, exhaustion, anxiety and overall genuine happiness.
No longer a baby but hurtling towards being genuine toddler status and feeling so proud about al...
Every month at HumanValue we choose a subject to base all our writing material on. This month is no different as we draw inspiration from celebrating South Africa. We often live our lives in a very sheltered manner, rarely venturing out of our familiarity. The focus always manages to be centered aro...
