  • Charles Street on Digital Transformation, Adventure, and Empowering Communities

    Charles Street on Digital Transformation, Adventure, and Empowering Communities
    2024/09/18
    In this episode, I reconnect with Charles to reflect on our past experiences working together and the lessons we've learned from challenging situations. It’s fascinating to hear how Charles has evolved, now leading digital transformation at a bank in Australia. He shares his inspiring journey, launching a project called Inkwazi, which combines adventure with a mission to make a difference in South Africa. Listening to him navigate the complexities of registering Inkwazi, his organisation, as a business instead of a charity, and how they partnered with a registered charity to meet their goals, was enlightening. What stood out to me the most was hearing about the life-changing impact of providing bicycles to children in remote South African communities. It's incredible to see how this initiative has boosted education and empowered these kids, with Charles detailing how he closes the loop with donors by sharing the tangible results of their support. It’s a powerful conversation about leadership, transformation, and creating meaningful change. linkedin.com/in/streetcharles https://www.inkwaziadventures.com.au/ This episode is sponsored by Smaply https://www.smaply.com/?thisishcd Become a member: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/circle-a-community-for-ethically-conscious-designers-changemakers Book a Coaching Chemistry Call: https://calendly.com/gerryscullion/coaching-chemistry-call 😀 Follow/Like Us Socially 😀 Instagram - /thisishcd Twitter - /thisishcd YouTube - /thisishcd #DigitalTransformation #CommunityEmpowerment #AdventureLeadership
