“If they had told the little girl living in Zimbabwe 20 years ago that she would become a politician in England, I would have never believed them.” Nicolle Ndiweni talks about the obstacles, opportunities, and opposition you will encounter at various points in your journey and highlights the tools we all have to face our fears and achieve our dreams. Are you afraid to take that leap? Do you question whether you are ready? Do you want that new job or promotion? Scared to do something new and different? Struggling with imposter syndrome? Victory, loss or lesson you won’t know what’s behind the door, unless you open it.
