Looking back over my years in this industry, I've always championed a "Good News" philosophy. We need to actively celebrate the wins in our province, which is exactly why the KZN Leaders Portfolio was born.
When we first envisioned this publication, we knew it had to be so much more than just a directory of names and faces. It was never just going to be a simple read. Today, I look at the magnificent collector's item it has become, and I am incredibly proud to say that it is a living document. It is a growing, breathing collection of the sheer grit, innovation, and leadership that drives our regional economy forward.
A Legacy Passed Down Over the years, I’ve heard incredibly touching stories about what this publication means to the people within its pages. It has genuinely become a family heirloom. In uncertain times and unforeseen circumstances, this portfolio stands as a concrete record of a person's life's work, their purpose, and their impact. It’s a legacy piece that gets passed down to children and grandchildren, a tangible way of saying, “This is what we built. This is the difference we made.”
The Ultimate "Must-Have" (Keep an Eye on It!) It is a premium publication, but I always give people a quiet word of advice: don't leave it lying around in your office reception. Why? Because it’s such a treasure that somebody is inevitably going to walk off with it!
It is simply one of those must-have collector's items. We regularly have leaders ordering stacks of extra copies, signing them, and sending them all over the world as premium gifts to international stakeholders and partners. The stories of KZN's excellence are crossing oceans and opening doors globally.
An Immortal Digital Footprint While the physical publication is an absolute classic with real historical value, its impact doesn't end on the printed page. Being part of the KZN Leaders Portfolio means establishing a digital footprint that is there forever. Your story becomes an immortal part of our business ecosystem, accessible to anyone, anywhere, at any time.
Cement Your Legacy Today If you are a KZN top business leader, or if you know someone who is quietly moving mountains in our province, and they are not in this publication... why not? Somebody should be in there, for goodness sake!
We need to capture these stories. Go online, nominate the leaders who inspire you, or step up and ask to be reviewed yourself.
There is no time like the present to cement your legacy. You can get hold of me personally to get the ball rolling. Alternatively, reach out to Angela—and I want to be clear, she is not a salesperson. Angela is there to hold your hand through the entire process. She will help you set up the interviews, organize the camera shoots, and coordinate all the personal, face-to-face video elements to ensure your story is told perfectly.
Let’s tell your story. Let’s do this.
