Being a digital enterprise, or a company that uses technology to continuously evolve all parts of its business models (what it offers, how it interacts with consumers, and how it works), is what Deloitte defines as "digital transformation."

#031 - Changing Your Perception of Work

3/17/2022
”Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime.” This old Chinese proverb could not be more true. Hard work sometimes seems to be a dying art form. We often hear “Work smart, not hard” or some similar cliche, as if hard work is some death sentence only bestowed on the “unlucky”. The truth is, there is great value in hard work. Hard work teaches perseverance, persistence, and determination. It teaches us that hard work pays off. It teaches us to push through when times are tough. Not everything in life is easy. It isn’t good to always have your hand out, waiting on someone to give you something. In this week's episode, Rhoda explores the importance of WORK, what is it for and how it can be more fulfilling.

#030 - Embrace your feminine energy

3/9/2022
Divine feminine and divine masculine can't exist without the other. This means that despite our cultural associations of masculine and feminine with men and women, respectively, we all have both energies within us. They just might not be evenly balanced. Too much masculinity and we get aggression and domination. Too much feminine, and we get disempowerment and stagnation. In this week's episode, in honour of celebrating International women's week, Joyce explores the power of tapping and being proud of your feminine energy and the benefits it has both at work and home.
