Episode 43: Stop calling Emotional Intelligence a soft skill! During a time when your EI (Emotional Intelligence) is as important- if not more so important than your IQ, we sat down to better understand this with Dr Karina De Bruin who teaches and measures EI for a living.

My Father’s Coat.
In this episode we have a double treat in store not only do we have our multitalented guest Michael Charton, but Muitheri Wahome long-time friend of Omnicor, polymath compliments the conversation perfectly as our co-host
Attending “My father’s coat” was a profound experience for me, I left both speechless and meaningfully engaged with my history, I am planning to take my children and highly recommend his show- especially South Africans. Michael is a South African hero, living his purpose with humility and commitment.
Michael Charton completed his articles and left to work in the US in mergers and acquisitions before returning to South Africa. He then worked as a Financial Director in the media and advertising industry. It was here that his evolution from accountant to storyteller was crystalized. He resigned from his job as a financial director, in order to realise a decade-old idea: To transform the complex history of South Africa through the medium of a story: MY FATHER’S COAT. In the process he founded INHERIT SOUTH AFRICA, to reveal untold stories from the past for edutainment, understanding, and nation-building.
Michael literally climbs into the shoes of five protagonists (Mzilikazi, Kruger, Rhodes, Smuts, and Mandela) and tells their respective, interlinked stories over a period of 200 years.
The genius of his story is how – over a period of 90 compelling minutes – he introduces each of these characters in a way that lures you under their spell as he seemingly embraces their beliefs and biases. www.InheritSouthAfrica.com
Our co-host Muitheri is a financial services professional with a deep interest in the history and lore of the investment industry in South (Southern) African industry. Her particular interest is in tracking the arc of history in order to be able to help facilitate the maturation of this transforming industry, by being informed by the past.
