WEBINARS
Dr Alex Granger
Considered one of the top leadership coaches and speakers, Dr Alex Granger said the COVID-19 pandemic illustrated the need to adjust to change with flexibility. His talk titled “Built to adapt: Better every day” kicked off the alumni webinar series for 2021 on 25 February.
Advocate Kate Hofmeyr
Respected Advocate Kate Hofmeyr (BA Hons 2001, LLB 2003) has been an evidence leader at the State Capture Commission since 2018.
On 24 March 2021 she led alumni through three aspects of the commission: its “unusual origins”, its “machinery and mechanics” and insights into the different role advocates assume in a talk titled “Of commissions, law and evidence”.
She deftly permitted herself only one personal comment: “I had the considerable privilege of working with a team of four investigators. They were without a doubt the most remarkable people I have worked with in my career… What’s important to appreciate is that each time any of us appeared at the hearings to present evidence, we were presenting the product of thousands of hours of tireless investigative work.”
