ntrepreneur, speaker, Miss South Africa 2nd Princess 2015 and now author, Ntsiki Mkhize recently launched her first book titled, “My Hall of Mentors – lessons learned along a journey of success”. The presenter of Career Connect on Business Day TV says that, success is a journey we’re all on and it looks different from moment to moment for each of us. The best way to learn, grow and succeed is to look at those who’ve gone before us and ask those who currently find themselves where we want to be. Then apply their lessons to our lives. After all, the best way to fail forward, is to not fail in the same places’ others have. Ntsiki believes that a great way to learn from others is
through mentorship. “Not everyone has the chance to sit down one-on-one with CEO’s, self-made millionaires or guru’s who’ve taken on social issues, but eavesdropping on a conversation with one of them does just as well”. Her books shares lessons she’s learned from the likes of Jenna Clifford, Peggy-Sue Khumalo and Koo Govender who wrote the foreword, to her parents. In My Hall of Mentors, Ntsiki offers just that. Sitting with mentors from lecture halls to executive board rooms, she brings us close to sound advice from some of her mentors over a period of seven years. “While most people were partying throughout varsity, I started a business and found mentors to help me achieve my goals.
The path wasn’t clear at first, but it was better defined as I went, with each conversation I had with each mentor”. Not all business, the lessons learned tie into her personal life, character and perspective as they unfold and connect the dots through the eyes of a successful young woman from South Africa, learning to take on life one goal at a time. Committed to helping others and passionate about mentorship, Ntsiki volunteers as a mentor for Phakama Women’s Academy and Hadithi Wethu. She’s since founded MentHer.
