“My mind was actually on fire and brimming with ideas. I think the storytelling sessions
and the work we did helped wake up a dormant part of my mind and really got the synapses
firing away. It honestly was one of the most terrifying, challenging, exciting and rewarding
things I’ve ever done. And it’s helped me look at a lot of things from a very different
perspective… and I’m all about big pictures and connecting seemingly random ideas.”
Rishina Ramphal, Team Leader, CIB, Absa Bank.
