SUMMARY:The Interconnectedness of Work and Life - Women in Leadership
DESCRIPTION:THEME\nSelf-care \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Interconnectedness of Work and Life\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHY\nAre you busy trying to lead a full life. But does it really feel full\, or are you stretched too thin? With the nuances of our current reality\, and backed up with much scientific research – there is no such thing as work-life balance. However there are four domains: work\, home\, community and our private self and the idea is to create harmony amongst these realms\, rather than trading them off. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT WILL YOU HEAR\nThis session will challenge the traditional thinking of work-life balance\, and explore contemporary approaches to a satisfactory and healthy integration of work and other domains of our lives. There will also be extensive discussion of work-life issues of professionals\, and how they navigate through these blurred work-life boundaries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\nOur SERIES is open to the world. There will be no specific audience. If you find these topics engaging and KNOW that these conversations can assist you in any facet of your life – we suggest that you CONNECT\, LISTEN\, PARTICIPATE\, and ACTIVELY incorporate the knowledge that you have learnt in your daily lives. Knowledge is power plus ACTION \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPROGRAMME\n10h00 – 11h00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCOMPETENCIES\nSAICA’s CPD policy has changed effective 1 January 2020 from an input measurement basis to an output measurement basis. Learning and the development of professional competence is unique to each member and should be aligned to your personal needs identified in your reflective learning plans. For further information and guidance\, go to SAICA’s CPD website.

Moeletji Mapheto (27)\, a trainee Chartered Accountant [CA(SA)]\, took a personal commitment three years ago to address three of the 17 goals (namely no poverty\, zero hunger and quality education) in her home village of Ga-Mphahlele in Limpopo. She was also inspired by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants’ (SAICA) “profession of national value” strategic pillar. Moeletji’s commitment to making a difference started in 2011 during her first year of university when she discovered that a lot of her peers who she went to school with in her village did not make it to university and some did not even know anything about university. It was then that she decided to become a career guidance volunteer at Phauwe Secondary School. \n  \nChantal Potgieter – Audit Manager at Diastoleus Professio Incorporated \nAs a recently qualified AGA (SA) she enjoy guiding students and trainees on how to embrace their training contract journey and make the most of their learning experience. She is a regular contributor to SAICA’s Accountancy SA online articles\, the focus of her articles are on students and trainees\, in order to provide them with a platform of reference for what they can expect and how they can use opportunities to the best of their ability. She use platforms available to her such as her firm (where I am the audit manager) as well as social media platforms to engage with trainees\, and provide them with accurate and relevant information. \n  \nHiresha Naidoo –Academic Trainee at University of Johannesburg \nHiresha graduated from UJ in 2018 with a Bachelors in Accounting Science. She continued to complete my honours degree the following year and successfully completed the ITC at the beginning of 2020. She is currently doing her academic articles at the University of Johannesburg in the Finance CTA module. She intends on completing her Masters in Finance and hopefully a degree in Information Technology. \n  \nTaylor Joseph – Trainee Auditor-General \nTaylor is an astute\, forward-thinking professional\, pursuing a career in audit\, assurance and financial reporting. She holds both Bachelor of Accounting and Honors degrees from the University of Stellenbosch and has since successfully completed both her ITC and APC exams. Being well on her way to becoming a Chartered Accountant\, Taylor has redirected her energies to developing the skills of those around her at the Western Cape office of the Auditor General and is currently mentoring trainees in preparation of their APC exams. \nBeyond her career ambitions\, Taylor uses her spare time to empower women and youth in her community\, particularly those who have survived situations of domestic violence. Taylor has most recently embarked on an adventure with the well-known NGO\, Philisa Abafazi Bethu\, which aims to advocate and provide safe spaces for women and children alike. \nTaylor’s mentees have described her as being a highly accomplished individual who refuses to let her successes go unshared. She is adamant about providing her successors with the necessary resources to ensure their every advance. \nShe is most exemplified by the following quote from her personal heroine\, Maya Angelou\, “I have found that among its other benefits\, giving liberates the soul of the giver”.
