Join us on 11 July for an EMCC Global GPS dialogue on AI in Coaching led by Prof. Nicky Terblanche (PhD), senior lecturer and research supervisor at the University of Stellenbosch Business School. His interdisciplinary expertise in leadership coaching and information systems has significantly advanced our understanding of AI's role in coaching and its potential impact on leadership development. Professor Terblanche's recent research has focused on crucial aspects of AI coaching, including its efficacy in goal attainment compared to human coaching, factors influencing user adoption, and its potential to enhance and scale coaching practices. His work provides a balanced view of AI coaching's current capabilities and limitations, identifying key evaluation criteria such as the need for large data sets and clearly defined information flows. In this session, Professor Terblanche will explore the current state of AI coaching systems, their potential impact on the coaching profession, and ethical considerations for implementation. He will also discuss future research directions in this rapidly evolving field. Drawing from his groundbreaking studies, including a randomized controlled trial on AI coaching efficacy, Professor Terblanche will offer valuable insights into how AI could democratize coaching, making it more accessible and affordable. His research suggests that while AI coaching shows promise in specific applications like goal attainment, its effectiveness in broader aspects of coaching requires further investigation Book here: https://vist.ly/3cieq Denise Whitworth

Lazy afternoon thoughts on beating inflation and currency exhange rate circumvention. One bank for all, owned and operated by account holders. In today’s digital age, where money often exists as ones and zeros on a screen, South Africa faces economic uncertainties and inflationary pressures. This idea explores how gold banking could work, its benefits, and how it can circumvent currency exchange rates through the transfer of gold masses between buyers and sellers using different currencies. How Gold Banking Works Gold banking operates on a straightforward principle: the value of your account is backed by physical gold. Here’s how it operates: 1. Acquisition of Gold: Customers purchase gold, securely stored in a vault, with the amount owned recorded in their account. 2. Gold-Linked Accounts: The value of the gold is tracked in real-time. Customers access their wealth through a dedicated bank card. For instance, owning 20 grams at R1,200 per gram means an account value of R24,000. 3. Transactions: Purchases using the gold-backed bank card deduct the equivalent value in gold. A R1,200 purchase at R1,200 per gram reduces holdings by 1 gram. 4. Deposits and Withdrawals: Deposits convert money into gold at current rates. Selling gold allows cash withdrawals. 5. Real-Time Pricing: Updates reflect gold’s market value, ensuring fairness. The Benefits of Gold Banking Gold banking offers advantages over digital currency: 1. Tangible Value: Gold’s physicality offers security and stability. 2. Inflation Hedge: Historically, gold resists inflation better than local currency. 3. Economic Stability: Gold’s value isn’t tied to any economy, curbing currency risks. 4. Diversification: Balances investment risks. 5. Liquidity: Easily turns into cash for daily use. 6. Security: Vaults ensure gold safety. 7. Technological Integration: User-friendly apps handle transactions. Circumventing Currency Exchange Rates Gold’s use as a direct medium of exchange sidesteps currency exchange issues: 1. Direct Transfers: Buyers and sellers in different currencies trade gold masses, not cash, bypassing exchange rate volatility. 2. International Stability: Gold’s universal value sets it apart from fluctuating currencies. Gold banking merges ancient wealth methods with today’s technology. It offers stability, inflation resistance, and diversification, making it a valid alternative to digital currencies. Amid South Africa’s economic challenges and inflation, gold banking provides reliability and innovation. Whether to hedge against inflation, diversify, or secure financial futures, gold banking stands out. #GoldBankin #FinancialStability #InflationHedge #DiversifyWithGold #TangibleWealth #SecureInvestments #FintechInnovation #CurrencyProtection #StableValue #GoldIsMoney #DigitalGold #EconomicResilience #SaveInGold #FintechRevolution #AssetProtection

Congratulations Dr Richard Mulder on being awarded a PhD by GIBS Business School (Gordon Institute of Business Science) of the University of Pretoria It was an honour to read the abstract of your study during the graduation proceedings. Thank you also to Prof Johan Olivier for the co-supervision collaboration. It was even more fulfilling to witness your journey towards doctorateness than my own PhD graduation in 1993. Richard Mulder made a valuable contribution to followership theory with the study titled: "Experiencing followership during global crisis: followership in healthcare amidst COVID-19". The study examined the impact of crises on followership from the followers' perspective. Despite the presence of outstanding leadership, failures in business abound. Followership is proposed as an avenue to address this. However, a notable paucity of followership research is conducted through the followers' lens. The study, conducted as a longitudinal, inductive, explanatory study, was grounded on implicit followership theories. It drew on findings of the lived experiences from 35 in-depth interviews of 15 purposefully sampled healthcare executives actively involved in the COVID-19 response in South Africa. The analysis harnesses a hermeneutic phenomenological methodology, which reveals that followership is a dynamic process, influenced by the context in which it is constructed. The thesis extends followership theory and adds the importance and nuance that context and the voice of followers themselves bring to the follower-leader dynamic.
