And that's it folks! In this episode I distill all of the lessons learned from guests and provide an overview of my biggest takeaways. I, like you, have learned a lot along the journey and I look forward to the next Season! 

Reflection, as discussed in season 1, is the glue that holds everything together. It is the silent hero of our work because it is what saves us from being stuck in the same place for years. Developing a reflection practice ensures we are making progress, checking in with ourselves, and remaining authentic and genuine in our practice. In this episode we hear from our guests who share a little bit of their experience developing a reflection practice that works.

There is an irony in the fact that Africa as the continent with the youngest demographic, with people bursting with talent and ideas is also the continent where young people are less likely to be given a chance to be expressive, be creative and innovate in the workplace.

No man is an island. Thus, an integral part of intrapreneurship is developing intrapersonal skills that can be leveraged to make impact.  In this episode, we looked at navigating different types of relationships in an organization. Sometimes its about working together, sometimes its about advocating together, and other times its about having an ally that will say your name in rooms where you are not present. Whatever the reason, our guests talk about how they navigate relationships in their organizations and how they bring value to those relationships consistently.

In Season 1, we talked about the importance of having a vision. This season, we spoke to our guests about what happens when the vision is derailed or changes. How do you cope with all life throws your way on your journey to achieving what you want most. Sometimes it can be discouraging, but mostly, those unexpected circumstances-- loss of job, lack of direction, limited access-- are pushing you in the right direction. Sometimes you just have to make room for the magic. 

"Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it." If you've got a vision for your life, your career, your house--- and it's not out of your head and on a sheet of paper, it doesn't count. Listen to this episode to hear why and to understand the power of putting your vision on paper.
