Halftime Valerie Ndou

While giving a farewell speech during her last day as a teacher at the School of Business and Economics, Valerie Ndou finally allowed herself to step out of the cycle she had been enduring after decades of work in organizations and a short stint in academia, and begin reflecting on her many experiences and the lessons learned in the process.

In a deeply personal account of her experiences, Valerie begins by sharing insight into her transition from middle to senior management positions, all while simultaneously attempting to master her roles as wife and mother. As she leads others through her career path and at-home challenges, Valerie discloses the valuable lessons she learned while working in a corporate environment, juggling home and professional responsibilities, stepping into a new role as a teacher, and later while launching her business as a leadership development expert and executive coach.

Halftime reveals the true journey of a South African mother who opted out of the corporate world in midlife to pursue her professional purpose.
