Women Who Build: Episode 8

In this episode of Women Who Build, Mollen sits down with Ashleigh, a young professional navigating the corporate world as a member of Gen Z. At 02:07, she introduced her journey and the role she plays in corporate, including client communication and executive support.

At 03:34, Ashleigh shares her expectations of entering the corporate world and how her experience challenged the idea that corporate spaces are cold and purely transactional. She also reflects on how a welcoming environment helped her become more confident in communicating and expressing herself (05:33).

At 07:09, the conversation takes an honest turn as she shares some of the mistakes she made early in her career and the lessons they taught her about organisation, responsibility, and communication. The discussion then explores the stereotypes surrounding Gen Z, including perceptions of entitlement and a lack of grit (09:17), and why understanding your own capacity is essential (10:22).

The conversation also looks at working across generations. At 13:05, she discusses the value of combining Gen Z's adaptability and technological skills with the experience of older generations. She also addresses the challenges that can arise from different communication and working styles (15:17).

One of the most powerful moments comes at 18:23, when she explains what she is building: inspiration. She speaks about creating motivation and confidence in young people and encouraging them to believe that they are capable of stepping into spaces they may have never imagined themselves in.

At 21:04, she shares advice for Gen Z and Gen Alpha entering the workplace, while 22:29 focuses on those already in corporate who may be allowing stereotypes to limit their potential. Finally, at 23:18, she speaks to employers and colleagues about the importance of listening to Gen Z, giving them opportunities to try, make mistakes, learn, and contribute.

A meaningful conversation about confidence, generational collaboration, workplace growth, and building a culture where young people are empowered to recognise and use their capacity.

Women Who Build: Episode 5

In this episode of Women Who Build, Mollen sits down with Noncedo, a passionate educator and founder who is building more than a school she is building a generation.

Noncedo shares the journey behind High Density Academy, from discovering her passion for education to starting with just two learners and turning a vision into a thriving institution. She opens up about the challenges that tested her, including betrayal, rejection and self-doubt, and how she learned to turn every challenge into a stepping stone.

At 15:42, she shares a powerful message about the potential women have to build, reminding women that their background, past or circumstances do not have to determine their future.

At 19:44, she speaks honestly about the danger of relying on people's opinions and affirmation, and the importance of believing in yourself and protecting your vision.

At 22:38, she shares her leadership philosophy, leading by example, staying humble and showing people what she expects rather than simply telling them what to do.

And at 27:23, she reflects on what makes her most proud: breaking the cycle of poverty in her family, challenging stereotypes about who can become a successful entrepreneur, and leading a school that has achieved a 100% matric pass rate.

A powerful conversation about faith, perseverance, leadership, self-belief and the courage to build despite the noise.
