100 African proverbs

African proverbs have a way of weaving themselves into us. They are powerful communicators. They warn. They guide. They comfort and encourage. They inspire.

This book is an overwhelming response to a LinkedIn post. People resonated deeply, and shared their favourites, and out of this generosity came a tapestry of wisdom: a blend of timeless truths, some familiar, others entirely new. Each was enriched by the personal reflections of those who contributed – what the words mean to them, and the lessons they lived through them.

Purpose

Purpose matters. So does meaning. Which is why bringing purpose and meaning to work have been 'hot topics' in organisations over
the past few years.

Our inspirational e-book brings together a powerful collection of insights and inspiring quotes on both.

How VKB and Sea Harvest are 'plugging in'

When we talk about engagement, we often focus on business metrics: productivity, retention and profitability. While these matter deeply, the real magic happens when transformation extends beyond the factory floor into people's homes, families and communities.
VKB Group and Sea Harvest are winning in both arenas because they understand a fundamental truth: culture isn't a nice-to-have. It's the plug point that connects everything.

Practical skills and tools to strengthen 3 vital facets of Wellbeing

Strengthening 3 facets of wellbeing

While Mental Health is sometimes seen as a singular issue, it is profoundly influenced by a complex interplay of emotional, financial and relational factors. These three pillars do not exist in isolation; they are deeply interconnected and form the foundation of an individual's overall resilience and stability. When one pillar is weakened, it puts strain on the others, creating a cycle that can lead to significant mental health challenges. Conversely, strengthening each of these areas builds a more robust and resilient person, better equipped to handle life's inevitable ups and downs.

Our October Connecting Times explores 3 vital facets of wellbeing: Emotional, Financial and Relational and how you can empower your employees with practical skills to strengthen each.

"It's not what you pour into people, but what you PLANT in them that matters."

Six secrets to sustaining learning & growth

Meaningful growth doesn’t come from quick fixes or once-off events, but from a process of planting, nurturing and sustaining learning over time. People need more than exposure to skills or inspiring moments—they need an environment and ongoing nourishment that helps new mindsets and behaviours take root.

That’s why our programmes are designed not only to touch hearts and open minds in the moment, but also to embed learning in ways that continue to grow - echoing the wisdom: "It's not what you pour into people, but what you PLANT in them that matters."

Beyond Women's Month - Are your women Thriving?

This Women's Month we're celebrating the potential of women in the workplace.

We want to celebrate women who stand strong in their values and seize opportunities for growth. Let's focus on empowering women in the workplace to not just grow - - but to thrive. By providing the right environment and resources, we can help them stand tall, share their knowledge and support those around them.

Where's the weak link in your engagement chain?

Where is the weakest link in your leadership?

The strength of your organisation is often determined by its weakest link. In the complex chain of command, there's a critical segment that is frequently overlooked, yet holds immense power to drive or derail your success: your first-line leaders.

The good news is that this critical challenge presents an immense opportunity. By strategically investing in your frontline leaders, you can transform this weak link into your strongest asset.

Do your employees see work as a gift?

Or do they see it as a burden to be 'endured' to meet their basic needs.

The profound human needs for belonging and purpose often go unmet, creating a gap that impacts their individual wellbeing, engagement and commitment to the organisation's purpose. When work is a burden, discretionary effort is rare and the habit of blaming and criticizing management for all problems, common.

Fostering a workplace where every employee feels valued, connected and understands their contribution is a strategic imperative for sustained success.
