"Attended an online session facilitated by Veli Ndaba - 'The NeuroEngineer' and thoroughly enjoyed the analysis and interpretation of life facts. In leadership, I believe that leadership is a product of personal intent. May be viewed as a potential leader, however if leadership is not one of your intentions, it will never be."
