Holiday = self confidence, finding myself, goal driven, ambitious. Ria & Caiti = self reflection, leadership, emotional intelligence, serving others who are walking the path that I am walking or have walked. Ewald = I understand what it means to be broken, unable to trust and respect, fear of being vulnerable or sharing any part of me (protection mechanism) ---> scared to get hurt Kenney, Carike, Mpho, Nina = Unwilling to be open and share any part of me, unable to be me in public, mot feeling safe.

EVERYTHING!!!!! Driven by growth and learning, want to be of service to others, possessing integrity and bothered by injustice, mostly misunderstood, need freedom/independence and autonomy, big dreamer and passionate, empathic, emotionally honest, sensitive to criticism, creative, insightful and perceptive, perfectionist, high importance placed on value alignment, wants to feel heard, intrinsically motivated, opinionated, need time and space to process, articulate, creative solver of people problems, unique voice,

I value integrity, justice, equality and fairness, and have been on the receiving end of the lack of those qualities and it broke me...I would hate to now start displaying those behaviors and mindsets. I have felt helpless, overwhelmed, abandoned, unsupported and trapped. It damaged me because I feel so powerless, alone, lacking control, like no one cares, like I am meaningless and unworthy to others. I value freedom and do not want to feel like I am imprisoned and have no free will or control of my life.

I love abandoned building and sunken ship exploration content.

Future ice dancer, the dream is to be surrounded my flowers, obsessed with ocean and galaxy projectors

Top Gun = action, big dreams, exhilaration, achievement, loss and grief. Phantom of the Opera = songs which sing to my soul Ghost busters = retake on the classic, on point humor, women empowerment Encanto = amazing songs, storyline tackling societal issues and family dynamics.

I am lucky to have had a life changing manager and mentees but overall no.

Things have been an uphill battle at work, easier at times, easier with support but always uphill and unnecessarily so (due to inequality and toxic management). I don't perceive any lucky moments or opportunities and usually end up paying with pieces of my soul for anything positive that is offered/given to me.

Marketing something as a growth opportunity, or a teaching opportunity.

Extrinsic = mentoring sessions. Intrinsic = I can't remember, too long ago.

Ria: I am proud of her for taking the steps towards getting herself out of a toxic situation. It takes so much courage and strength to do this. Caiti: Starting to thrive, becoming more assertive and less anxious, able to remain intact while being surrounded by toxic behavior through social awareness and understanding that people's behavior towards her is not a reflection of her.

I was extremely introverted, painfully shy, awkward and self-critical.

In traumatic situations i.e. workplace mobbing, I revert back into this outdated version of me. These situations instill deep self doubt when my personal foundation is shattered, and makes me question myself.

Toxicity and people who promote and enable it

It is so wrong. People deserve to be treated like people and not sub par humans/robots

I need focus time to work on deliverables

leaders, technically knowledgeable, vulnerable and invest in others

These qualities inspire me and make me respect people

Learning - I want to constantly aim towards being a better person 3. Openess and authenticity - I connect with and trust people based on this. I dislike "flavour of the day" people 4. Humour - coping mechanism, and social connector 5. Respect - I need to be able to respect the people in my circle for people to remain in my 6. Creativity - feeds my soul, keeps you young and playful

Helping others fills my cup. I want to see people grow and I want to help them develop into the best version of themselves, and give them the support that I didn't get. Learning fills my cup, and keeps away the boredom Doing work that adds value and creates an impact

I want to be the leader which utilizes each persons strengths to help them perform at their best and challenge themselves 3. To be a team player and think of us and not I. 4.
