In life we find ourselves in new territories. For some, one can apply one’s self and be resourceful. Beyond one’s own capability, it is not too much to ask of one’s self; to look deeper, to listen, to think and to consider extending a request to others, if only for them to offer support. In my latter academic years as a leader of a diverse research group, I recognised the need for me to grow so as to serve my research students as well as my colleagues better. It started with just reading literature and randomly participating in a workshop or course here and there; eventually I landed in the thinking environment. I learned a lot, more about myself than others. Self-realisation and emotional connection. Qualifying as a Facilitator and Coach was a bonus by all means. My quest for an answer to the question; for what good, driven by what; found me enrolled in the ontology program for which I am a qualified practitioner. Further leadership roles in the NGO, private and public sector inspired me to enrich my practise. I am now at the tail end of a PhD, by thesis, in Psychology; what makes us who we are as we relate, what inspires us to be resourceful for new possibilities…!
