The most powerful, strong and loyal type on the Enneagram in my experience. In this episode I talk to Arlene Mulder about what life is like as a "type eight."  Arlene and I always joke that we should be working for the Enneagram Institute as we find this tool to be so helpful in building strong relationships. Have a listen &  find out why!The 'Type Eight' is also called 'The Challenger', 'The Assertive Protector' or 'The Active Controller.' Eights are charismatic and have the physical and psychological capacities to persuade others to follow them into all kinds of endeavors. They  have enormous willpower and vitality, and they feel most alive when they are exercising these capacities in the world. Basic Fear: Being harmed or controlled by others.Basic Desire: To protect themselves (to be in control of their own life and destiny) Key Motivations: Want to be self-reliant, to prove their strength and resist weakness, to be important in their world, to dominate the environment, and to stay in control of their situation. *Excerpt above from the Enneagram Institute.Arlene Mulder is a fiercely loyal friend, serial entrepreneur and all-round extraordinary woman. She is currently the head of Insurance at Vertice MedTech & co-founder at Africa's first audio library, BIB. Arlene co-found WeThinkCode in SA and won the Forbes Woman Africa Technology and Innovation Award in 2019.

Female entrepreneurship — A truly successful, inventive, African (woman) and tech entrepreneur Arlene Mulder (Entrepreneur | WeThinkCode and BiB | Co-Founder) I first met Arlene when she reached out to me about a crazy idea; establish an entity that could identify and truly uplift disadvantaged (even uneducated) humans by giving them a free shot at becoming a skilled computer programmer. Since those early stage discussions she launched 'WeThinkCode' which did exactly this and has already transformed the lives of over ONE THOUSAND individuals...and continues to increment this today. The impact of that vision is probably one of the most successful (and impactful) startup stories in the South African ICT sector! Women leadership! Obviously she was on my list of incredible woman to showcase this season. Her history and the challenges she outlines, specifically related to female tech entrepreneurship, are revelatory! This discussion allowed me to ask her the dumb-guy questions and her reverts every male will find valuable! If you’re a woman thinking of venturing into the startup scene, Arlene shares very useful insights. Arlene is launching another startup; BiB (see link below) and she once again articulates the related conviction - inspirational - can’t wait to see what this does for undiscovered African authors and creative talent.

Phil’s guest on this episode of the IT Career Energizer podcast is Nyari Samushonga. Nyari is the Chief Executive Officer of WeThinkCode_ where her primary responsibility is to gear the organization up for growth.  She also co-founded FoldLeft, a digital consultancy that uses hypothesis-driven models to design and deliver impactful software solutions. Her expertise lies in bridging the divide between business executives and tech innovators to maximize the value of software. In this episode, Phil and Nyari Samushonga discuss the best way to make complex decisions, especially those that relate to your career. They also talk about how to successfully handle the politics that exists in most workplaces.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: (4.55) TOP CAREER TIP Get good at making decisions. It is easy to be overwhelmed by the many different things that could happen as a result of your decision. You need to learn how to understand and make sense of all of that complexity. During the podcast, Nyari shares 4 important questions you need to ask yourself when making decisions that will help you to do that.   (5.53) WORST CAREER MOMENT Some time ago Nyari found herself working on a project that had big issues. She realized there was no way what had been promised to the client could be delivered. So, she spoke up. When she did, everything she was doing was called into question and she was frozen out. For her, it was an awful time. In the podcast, she explains what she did about the situation and how she managed to come out the other side of it.   (11.23) CAREER HIGHLIGHT Finding effective ways to enable someone who has been struggling to learn how to code to breakthrough and finally succeed has been a career highlight for Nyari.   (13.25) THE FUTURE OF CAREERS IN I.T It no longer matters what business you are in, you need IT. A fact that makes this a great time to be working in the industry. The opportunities are endless. It also means you can find work in any industry that interests you. Whether you enjoy finance, architecture, teaching, or agriculture you can work on transformative IT projects that are relevant to that field. Better still it does not matter where in the world you are based.   (15.22) THE REVEAL What first attracted you to a career in I.T.? – Nyari wanted to create things and make a real difference in the world. What’s the best career advice you received? – Learn to let go. Stop worrying about how the world perceives you and just try things. If you fail, let go and move onto the next thing. What’s the worst career advice you received? – Don’t be so argumentative. Nyari thinks it is important to be authentic and open, which sometimes ruffles feathers. What would you do if you started your career now? – Nyari would have started coding at an earlier stage in her career. What are your current career objectives? – Right now, Nyari is focusing on scaling WeThinkCode and ensuring gender parity within the company. What’s your number one non-technical skill? – Her accounting skills. They have enabled her to drill down and look at the bottom line to make sure there is a good reason behind everything her company does. How do you keep your own career energized? – Nyari finds that constantly reinventing herself keeps her career energized. What do you do away from technology? – Nyari enjoys road cycling, especially when she does a 100k ride and really pushes herself.   (23.59) FINAL CAREER TIP Focus on being impactful. You want everything you do to count and make a difference. To succeed at doing that you need to be clear about what you are trying to achieve and only opt to work on those projects where you can have a positive impact.   BEST MOMENTS (5.29) – Nyari - “Don´t take decisions for granted. Make sure you are aware of what you are giving up and what you are gaining,” (9.19) – Nyari - “Even when you strongly disagree with something, display empathy. It helps to keep the communication channels open.” (14.11) – Nyari - “Take advantage of the fact that working in tech means that you can reinvent yourself more times than Madonna.” (16.46) – Nyari - “If you fail, let go of that moment, then reach out and start something new.” (26.03) – Nyari - “Focus on being impactful. Think about what you want to achieve, then work out how to succeed at making that change.”   ABOUT THE HOST – PHIL BURGESS Phil Burgess is an independent IT consultant who has spent the last 20 years helping organizations to design, develop, and implement software solutions.  Phil has always had an interest in helping others to develop and advance their careers.  And in 2017 Phil started the I.T.

TechCentral — In this promoted episode of the TechCentral podcast, Duncan McLeod interviews BBD director Gus Pringle about the IT skills challenge in South Africa and the work that the company is doing to try to mitigate the problem. Pringle explains that no matter how many IT skills are developed, this is never enough to fill all the positions available – an unfortunate dichotomy in a country with a severe rate of unemployment. In the podcast, Pringle talks about the work that BBD is doing to develop new skills, including its initiative with WeThinkCode. He explains where the demand for skills in coming from, the sort of talent needed by corporate South Africa and the skills mismatch in terms of what’s available and what employers are looking for. BBD, whose employees typically work on bespoke and complex systems, says developer skills are in high demand, are easily able to job hop for higher pay or simply emigrate – the latter having become a major challenge, particularly in the past six months, with a spike in talented coders leaving the country. Pringle expands on BBD’s initiatives to retain talent, including setting up operations in markets favoured by South African expatriates, and bemoans the difficulty involved in getting talent from overseas into the country. The conversation then turns to what schools and universities are doing right – and wrong – in nurturing fresh talent for the sector. What should they be doing to encourage talented youngsters and prepare them for the world of work? Finally, Pringle talks about the challenge of bringing more female skills into the IT industry and why it’s important that the sector becomes less male dominated. It’s a great discussion – don’t miss it.

We're having another chat about computing education in the country, this time with a special guest from Durban who is looking to help change the country for the better. Kenneth & Kevin are joined by Riaz Moola from HyperionDev and the Computer Science Association of South Africa (CSASA) to talk about teaching programming online. Riaz is an accomplished young man, sporting two international masters degrees and the leadership skills to tackle the thorny issue of improving the education in the country. Almost by accident Riaz developed an online Python training course for students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, which grew into HyperionDev, and also helped set up the CSASA to help educate our educators! HyperionDev is currently helping more than 8000 learners complete various of its community created and supported courses! We discus some of the challenges faced by learners, the (comparatively) huge drop-out rates in Computer Science courses, building a MOOC for the developing world and having backing from Google and the British Computer Association. This episode is shorter than usual, but still packed with an amazing story. Join us as we explore what it takes to give the next generation of developers a fighting chance!

Uber's Roman-style campaign to achieve utter and complete worldwide domination has encountered a teeny tiny setback in Kenya. Much to the surprise of many, the company is yet to enjoy the runaway success it has become accustomed to. In last week's episode of the African Tech Round-up we reported on Uber's plans to run a limited experiment to allow its Kenyan customers to pay for trips using cash and M-Pesa. This followed claims made by the company that the slow adoption of their service in Kenya was due to the fact that many Kenyans are unbanked and do not possess credit and debit cards. In this week's show, Andile Masuku and guest co-host Vouchercloud South Africa Managing Director Lyndon Munetsi discuss the challenges that Uber might be facing in rolling out its hugely successful business model in Kenya-- especially given the company's well-documented zero-quibbles approach to taking on new territories. In the meantime, it remains to be seen whether their latest attempts to woo Kenyan users will prove to be effective. Also, be sure to stay up to date with all the week's biggest news from across the African continent: -- Find out why African seed fund and accelerator 88mph is taking a break from investing in African startups, -- Get details on how tech education innovators Andela and WeThinkCode_ are poised to disrupt tech talent development on the continent, -- Learn why Ad Dynamo is giving up its reputable contextual ad network business to concentrate on servicing Twitter, -- Get the low-low on the launch of a new Kenyan laptop brand called Taifa, and -- Discover which major African capital city is set to get free movies and calls via WiFi.
