CALLING ALL STUDENTS! My name is Refilwe Segoe, and I want to help YOU find your breakthrough! Every 2nd Friday I host current and past students as they share their personal stories of overcoming failure and in the process, finding their breakthrough. As a passion project under an impact organisation called the breakthrough projects, this is the 1st of many passion projects that will be unveiled, all with the aim of helping students face and beat their struggles.

In the mid-season finale episode of the podcast, I had Emmanuel KS Bope on. Emmanuel is currently a third-year Wits Medical Student and the business owner of Q Fitness. He was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa within a Congolese household, which is why his home language is French. However, he is proud of both his origins and is looking forward to making an impact in most African countries someday.
In our conversation, we spoke about Emmanuel's experience with starting two businesses while studying, his SIX-YEAR journey of getting into medicine, his experience with failure and how he dealt with that, how his family reacted to his failure and so much more!

In this episode, I had Precious Molepo on. Born and bred in Paulshof Johannesburg, Precious had no idea that she wanted to go the accounting route, as she was torn between following her creative side and following her academic goals. However, being raised by a single hardworking mother, she made it one of her primary goals to work on achieving a degree and postgraduate qualification, in order to embark on a stable career path and independently find financial freedom. So, Precious went on to study her Bcom Accounting degree at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) and thereafter bridged into her postgraduate year. She is currently studying her CTA, which is where she faced her biggest challenge: failure and more failure.
In our conversation, we spoke about her struggles with BCTA (bridging course for a certificate on the theory of accounting), and eventually failing her CTA (compulsory post-grad qualification on the path towards becoming a chartered accountant, or CA(SA)). We also talked about how she dealt with her failure, and how she is coping now in her 2nd attempt at CTA.

She failed 3 modules and because of that, it took her six years to finish the four-year degree. But the most important thing is that she finished! And now she is currently working as a Mechanical Engineer.
Our conversation, which was a surprisingly lighthearted, laugh-at-our-pain kind of episode, took on a life of its own as we discussed the elements that led to her failures, how that impacted her life, what she learned from her failures, and how they paved the way for who she is today, and so much more!

In this solo episode I talk about why finding silver linings in tough times is so important. I discuss how finding a silver lining fuels me to deal with, and eventually get out of those hard times; and how you could do the same. I also talk about the origins of my motto, 'excelsior', which means ever upward. 'Excelsior' entails taking all the negativity, and using it as a fuel to find your silver lining. With that I also have an acronym that I use to maintain 'excelsior', which is BREATHE. I unpack what each letter stands for and break it down into methods that you could apply in times of trouble. Hope this episode helps you to start seeing things from a different perspective, as you work on finding your silver lining.

Our conversation unpacked various insightful pieces around juggling leadership while also striving to attain a degree; working as an SRC member both pre - COVID - 19 and during COVID - 19; how leadership can affect your mental health when it comes to dealing with people's disheartening circumstances, and trying not to let it get to you; and so much more.

In this solo episode I delve deep into emotional intelligence (EI), and how having a high EI can benefit you in a tertiary space. Unlike IQ which is fixed, emotional intelligence is a spectrum that you can shift along depending on your emotions and response to situations. Tertiary can greatly help to build your EI, which can teach you how to approach these obstacles and overcome the challenges of varsity life. In my session I place emphasis on 5 characteristics that can describe emotional intelligence, as coined by American Psychologist Daniel Goleman. These include: self - awareness, self - regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills. I also discuss these elements in detail and how they can help to reach academic success. Finally I discuss a quiz that you can take on mindtools.com to figure out where you lie on the emotional intelligence spectrum. Hope you're able to benefit from this one! Please follow the breakthrough projects on Instagram via https://www.instagram.com/thebreakthroughprojects/. And remember that episodes drop every second Friday. Enjoy this one, and remember even if you feel the fear do it anyways.

We spoke about discovering and enhancing our self - awareness due to our failures, how being self - aware helped us make important relationship decisions in our lives, using our self - awareness to deal with conflict resolution, our breakthrough moments with regards to our self - awareness, and so much more. We followed that up by playing the hit game 'we're not really strangers' , a board game all about empowering and creating connection.
