What if Africa’s knowledge traditions could guide our way through today’s planetary crisis? This is the true story of how Africa’s Ngoma traditions helped shape the sustainable transition strategies of some of the continent’s largest organisations.

For generations, Indigenous Knowledge Systems have cultivated resilience, foresight, and adaptability. This book explores how these time-tested ways of training and knowing are being called upon again to meet the uncertainty of disruption.

Nicola Robins’ journey started two decades ago when she heard the voice of the spirits while auditing a diamond mine in Australia. Returning home to South Africa, her scientific mind spiralled out of control, forcing a choice between the methods of modern medicine and the call of traditional Africa. Her choice took her into a world where mountains do speak. Her cure carried an obligation to bring what she learnt back to the world of business.

When things are uncertain, we can’t predict the future. As the shift to farming brought new risks and uncertainties, traditional African communities used divination, spirits, and ritual to find a way forward. It kept their progress just and within the bounds of nature. This book explores how these ancient cognitive technologies can help organisations navigate change that defies orthodox strategies.

Diviner Mind invites readers into a world grappling with disruption, rekindling our natural capacity for sense-making. It offers a compelling view on the challenge of our time: how to navigate uncertainty while bringing Earth’s social, ecological, and cultural systems into renewed balance.

In this poignant, hilarious and deeply intimate call to arms, Hollywood's most powerful woman, the mega-talented creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder, reveals how saying YES changed her life - and how it can change yours too.

With three hit shows on television and three children at home, Shonda Rhimes had lots of good reasons to say no when invitations arrived. Hollywood party? No. Speaking engagement? No. Media appearances? No. And to an introvert like Shonda, who describes herself as 'hugging the walls' at social events and experiencing panic attacks before press interviews, there was a particular benefit to saying no: nothing new to fear. Then came Thanksgiving 2013, when Shonda's sister Delorse muttered six little words at her: "You never say yes to anything".

Profound, impassioned and laugh-out-loud funny, in Year of Yes, Shonda Rhimes reveals how saying YES changed - and saved - her life. And inspires readers everywhere to change their own lives with one little word: Yes.

It's evaporated great fortunes and run companies into the ground. It's made adversity unbearable and turned struggle into shame. Every great philosopher has warned against it, in our most lasting stories and countless works of art, in all culture and all ages. Its name? Ego, and it is the enemy - of ambition, of success and of resilience. In Ego is the Enemy, Ryan Holiday shows us how and why ego is such a powerful internal opponent to be guarded against at all stages of our careers and lives, and that we can only create our best work when we identify, acknowledge and disarm its dangers.

This is not a book about gardening. It's a book about becoming - wildly, messily, and against all odds.

"Sometimes I was sunshine. Sometimes I was stormy. Sometimes I was a dandelion blowing away in 20 directions at once, and other times I stood tall like a sunflower, faking confidence but rooted deep. It's a story about falling forward, laughing at bad timing, and blooming on your own weird wonderful terms."

In this bold, heartfelt, and occasionally unfiltered memoir, the author dives into the mess of becoming. A real life story of blooming through the cracks and accidentally growing a life worth loving. Wild, rooted & occasionally untamed. It's for anyone who's smiled through storms, bloomed in chaos, or grown deep roots in rocky places.

Oops! I Bloomed Again is a laugh-out-loud, tear-jerking kind of story for the ones who bloom sideways, bounce back louder, and keep showing up, even when the soil gets rough. Expect laughs. Expect tears. Expect dandelions in unexpected places.
