My first week at Nedbank felt like being handed a 2,500-piece puzzle, daunting at first glance, but slowly, steadily, I began to piece it together. One login, one meeting, one acronym at a time. The systems and applications were new, the processes unfamiliar, but with each step, I felt myself settling into the rhythm of this new journey.
Once my access was sorted, I began connecting with the team, introductory sessions, broader team engagements, and walkthroughs of the core processes that will eventually become my focus. There’s something energizing about touching the new, familiarizing yourself with the lay of the land, and simply allowing yourself to learn. I’ve enjoyed every moment of it.
The team has been incredibly welcoming, supportive, patient, and generous with their time. It’s made all the difference. I can feel the transition taking root. This is a new beginning, a fresh space for growth, and it carries that evergreen feeling of new life. A reminder that even after seasons of uncertainty, renewal is always possible.
A growth mindset is essential in spaces like this, and from my interactions this week, I believe I’ve found a place where that mindset is not only encouraged but nurtured. Every time I decode a new acronym, every meeting where something clicks, every lightbulb moment, I feel myself getting closer to laying the foundation I need to truly add value. And for that, I am deeply grateful.
It’s been a wonderful first week. And now, I look ahead with excitement to the next, starting with a trip to Johannesburg to meet the team face-to-face and engage in some team building. The timing couldn’t be more perfect. These are the people I’ll be working closely with, and I feel blessed to connect with them so early in the journey.
As I reflect on my first week, I’m reminded of the quiet symbolism in the small things. A photo taken in the morning light, felt like a soft affirmation. A reminder that I’m exactly where I need to be. That this new chapter is not just about work, but about heart, alignment, and rising into purpose.
Here’s to another amazing week, more learning, more connection, and more rising.💚💚💚
