'Growing Up I Wanted to be White’ with MTN Group Exec. Yolanda Cuba in South Africa

Leading Boldly into the Future

How do we develop a growth mindset, one of teachability that says, "I make mistakes and grow," one of adaptability that says, "I transform and change," and one of possibility that says, "I can be more, do more, and achieve the impossible"? This is what we learn from the story of Yolanda Cuba, who went from wanting to be a white person when she grew up to becoming a trailblazer for women in business in the African continent. At age 29, Yolanda became one of the youngest chief executive offices ever of a Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed company. She is the Vice President for Southern and Eastern Africa of the super-successful MTN Group, a homegrown company that is turning heads for its success in Africa and the Middle East. In this conversation, she shares why and how mindset matters, why having a twin uplifts you, why sustainable success is much greater than the numbers in business, why Environmental, Social, and Governance issues matter more than ever, and why meeting Nelson Mandela forever changed the way she leads. Tune in for all of these and more!
