A PhD candidate in Oceanography at the University of Cape Town (UCT), Kolisa is a member of UCT’s Advancing Womxn fellowship, Ocean Womxn, a TEDx speaker and a woman who has used the power of social media to share her work with the rest of the world - and opening up a space that encourages conversation, interest and accessibility for young black and brown women especially those who wouldn’t necessarily have thought that there is someone who looks like they do, working in a space that they too can find a way into - and that there will be people who can support them along their journey.

The impact of auditing on self...and your organisation
The conversation with Eskom Pension and Provident Fund's Internal Auditor, Relebogile "Lebo" Legalamitlwa was similar to catching up with a dear friend who was placed just at the right time to remind you what passion, purpose and timing mean. Auditing in many a mind is a profession that is quite daunting, especially for those of us who are not in it, however it is crucial to any organisation's success, longevity and the manner in which it operates. Culture, policies, procedures, operations and compliance - those are words that form part of auditing and Lebo shares what the team's role is at EPPF. We also spoke about Lebo's work to help high school learners with Mathematics and Accounting - coming full circle and realising that she was also learning through this journey of life.

The link between trust, ethics and good governance
It was only after reading the King Report a few years ago that I personally understood the importance of good governance in an organization and the role that risk and compliance played. Levern Forley, is Risk and Complaince Officer at the Eskom Pension and Provident Fund (EPPF) and by listening to her speak about her work and the environment that she is in, you hear the deep passion and pride that she has - and willingness to share her knowledge. An advocate for wellness, women taking ownership of their lives and careers, Levern trusts the journey she is on and the way that it is unfolding.

Creating Human Experiences within organisations
My conversation with Shyless Nkuna, Head of Human Resources (Human Experiences) at the Eskom Pension and Provident Fund (EPPF) made my heart smile and reminded me of the times I've met and spoken to people who view HR the way that she does. We not only spoke about her career progression, but Shyless really opened up about the value she knows and believes people bring into an organization. I'm excited to know that EPPF is doing things differently too - moving forward and empowering their staff, not just talking about it but ensuring they follow through.
