In this episode of DeepBrief, I sit down with Nolwazi Mwabi, Director: Communications, Marketing & Events in the Department of Institutional Advancement at UNISA, to explore the role values play in shaping our careers, leadership and lives.

Together, we unpack how to identify your personal values, recognise when they align or no longer align with those of your organisation, and why that alignment matters for fulfilment, performance and long-term wellbeing.

Whether you're starting your career, leading a team, or questioning your next move, this conversation offers deep meaningful insights into building a career that is not only successful, but true to who you are.

What happens when a crisis arrives before an organisation is prepared for it?

In this episode of DeepBrief, Khuthalani Khumalo sits down with Motalatale Samuel Modiba, Senior Manager: Media and Public Relations and spokesperson at the South African Local Government Association (SALGA). Prior to joining SALGA, Motalatale served as Head of Communication at the Gauteng Department of Health, where he helped navigate some of the province's most challenging public health and reputational crises.

This episode explore the realities of crisis preparedness and communication, examining what happens inside organisations when pressure mounts, information is incomplete, and public trust is at stake.

This is not a conversation about managing headlines. It is a conversation about leadership, trust and communication when it matters most.

As media cycles accelerate and attention spans shrink, DeepBrief creates space for deeper reflection on the ideas, challenges and decisions that shape organisations, industries and society.

This episode explores what listeners can expect from future conversations on this journey to leaving the communications industry better than we found it.
