PETRA AS A LEADER
Success for me is about making a sustainable impact and giving back to the world through my work in HR, public health, and wellbeing. My aim is to bridge the gap between science, business, and society, sharing my knowledge and passion to foster environments that promote lifelong learning and mental health.
Leadership is not telling others what to do.
Great Leaders inspire, support, lift, encourage others.
The future of leadership is inspiring, supportive, inclusive and bright.
When I think of a leader, I think of my soccer trainer, my professor, a former manager, a colleague, Marie Curie, Ali Mahlodji and many more.
BE THE CHANGE AND LIVE THE CHANGE.
