A simple mistake at an indoor climbing gym sentenced 28-year-old Robby to a year in a wheelchair, shattering his aspirations of becoming a mountaineer. In the months that followed, Robby faced depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and a complete loss of his sense of identity.
About the author (2020) Robby Kojetin lives in Johannesburg, South Africa and is a high-altitude adventurer. Since his accident in 2006, which resulted in him breaking both of his ankles, he has gone on to become one of only a handful of people to have stood on top of the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest. He has also climbed Kilimanjaro nine times, completed the Ironman triathlon, and scaled five of the Seven Summits. Known as an inspirational and engaging speaker on stage, he presents on the topics of failure, self-doubt and persisting against all odds, in the hope of inspiring people of all ages and backgrounds facing the daunting mountains and obstacles in their lives. Robby is a proud husband and father.

In this webinar I will introduce the principles and practices of academic referencing as well as tips and tricks that I learnt from doing my own PhD. Although I struggled with referencing initially, I eventually figured it out and you can benefit from my experience, hopefully much earlier in your degree than me. I can't promise to make referencing fun and enjoyable but I guarantee that this webinar will help you get set up to "cite while you write" with EndNote and Microsoft Word.

According to Gabi on her blog: https://www.mythesiscoach.com
"This time of year sees many students scrambling to complete their theses.
I remember this well from my own PhD. The task was so massive as to seem impossible. And then, my supervisor said something that re-energised me and gave me the push I needed to get over the finish line."
Find out more in our live interview with Gabi and learn from her experience of coaching students just like you.

Perform better in your next formal job interview by doing informational interviews beforehand. Learn more from Natasha Frank.
An informational interview is an informal conversation you can have with someone working in an area of interest to you. ... It is an effective research tool and is best done after preliminary online research. It is not a job interview, and the objective is not to find job openings.

This webinar will transform the way you think about your time and how you use it to get things done in your life. As the world has learnt to work from home, our work / life boundaries have blurred and increased our need for better time management.

Literature reviews are key components of academic essays and theses. Not only do they provide important contextual background to a research topic, but a good literature review can create a strong impression of your writing skills and academic acumen.
A good literature review lays the foundation on which impactful research can be built. With more than a decade of university lecturing experience and her own thriving thesis consultancy, Gabi brings a clear and light-hearted attitude to the potentially ponderous topic of literature review writing.

The demand for CFA has increased in previous years as firms look for people with more than just quantitative skills, the need for excellent communication and presentation abilities becoming more and more important, too. The CFA exams are very difficult, but candidates can increase their chances of passing by studying for over 300 hours, utilising alternative prep materials, answering as many practice questions as possible, and creating a structured study plan.

Learn secrets of success from one of the greatest industry leaders in South Africa. From Accenture to Kalon Ventures, Clive has had a huge impact on numerous leaders and businesses. Mentorship is critical for your student success, so join us and hear words of wisdom from Clive.
If you are thinking about becoming a mentor, we would love you to sign up in the members only Facebook group of the Student Success Coach: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1067523283704724
Join this session to learn what it takes to be a mentor and why South Africa desperately needs mentors in all areas of society. Clive kindly answered some questions below and I look forward to asking him many more in this exciting live session which promises to be extremely popular. Who has had the greatest impact on your career?
My three key mentors at Accenture. One being a great sales and commercial person, the second being a world-class leader and thirdly a phenomenal relationship person. They taught me the three most important pillars of being an entrepreneur, namely the importance of relationships β people buy from people; the importance of being commercially savvy and being able to sell β nothing happens until the cash register rings; and lastly the importance of leadership β everything in business rises and falls in leadership.
What is the best career advice youβve ever received? Let fires burn. In every business I helped built there were always fires. Which fires do you have the ability to extinguish right now, and which will be easier to extinguish later (and vice versa)? If a fire is urgent, but you canβt effectively fight it right now, you might have to ignore it and hope that external circumstances put it out. Likewise, if it isnβt necessarily urgent right now, but will wreak a lot more havoc if allowed to spread, you might consider saving yourself the ordeal later by nipping it in the bud.

Marshy Nel is the head of IT at St. Stithians College in Johannesburg. After taking an academic break for 20 years she has gone back into studying part time and realised she needs to make time to read and process information with check lists that help her plan what she needs to do.
Along the way she enlisted βstudy buddiesβ who she could soundboard and collaborate with. These relationships were encouraging and they student group set up WhatsApp groups which became very useful, especially in lockdowns - even the lecturers joined in and the students were even graded on their interaction with each other in these groups.
In her honours she did 4 modules per year and is now specialising in computer integrated education. The impact of COVID has provided a rich source of data and she hopes to develop new theories about the future of technology in education. Even though she didn't enjoy learning about research methods, now she sees the importance of having structure and discipline in her research, and which she will need in her upcoming masters. She credits much of her success to a supportive husband; βYes we did itβ he exclaimed when Marshy heard she had completed her honours. Marshy believes students need structure, and should work on specific things on certain days - stick to what works for you.
Hear more about her daily routines, useful tools and other tips and tricks for getting through part time studies.

An email from her manager congratulating Natasha was the highlight of her part time student journey. Her 24 distinctions earned her some praise and she felt great that her hard work was inspiring other people. "That made it all worth it" and she advises people to "be brave" and not measure yourself against other people. You might not know what it looks like, don't think about it and worry what could go wrong, rather set up goals, get lists going and then tackle them decisively. The most important decision is in your head to get things done - jump in and do something, it doesn't have to be major goals. She found that in any endeavour its the small steps and "show up every day" - eventually you will look back and realise how much you can accomplish.
She wanted to do psychology and communication to get extra skills and support her career relationships. In the first semester she had no idea how to plan and get her work done but eventually got into it and found her rhythm. She was originally nervous to fit the extra work into her busy social life, kids and home life, but took it on and eventually succeeded. She has learnt to focus a lot on communication which has helped her career extensively because of the range of people she works with. Natasha loves learning and teaching - she's also learnt how to see other people's points of views, especially having the psychology training. The diversity of views in her broader team of 400 people is significant and doing part time studying has really helped her.
She has learnt to slow down and listen to people so that she can make a connection. Her internal journey meant that she rediscovered people around her and took her relationships to the next level. There was a lot of collaboration with fellow students but most of the modules were 6 month based with dozens of assignments that required her to put her head down and be committed to get the work done. A lot of the subject matter on psychology she related to very well and often did extra research on topics that interested her, especially Freud and even modern day thinkers like Mel Robbins who wrote "The 5 Second Rule". Now she's studying Spanish on Duo Lingo and NLP on Udemy!

This recorded webinar will transform the way you think about your time and how you use it to get things done in your life. As the world has learnt to work from home, our work / life boundaries have blurred and increased our need for better time management. Whether you are tackling significant life goals or daily tasks there are principles and practices for everyone. Based on my own busy life of having 5 children, writing a best selling book and doing a PhD, I provide you with the insights that have helped me the most;
An ambitious goal requires you to cut off your own escape routes

How to single-mindedly focus on delivering what you have promised
Commit to simple and personal statements of intent to lift your ambitions
Overcome enormous personal setbacks with the power of "I Will"

Pursue good enough completion rather than unfinished perfection
The art of getting things done is quite simple when you break tasks down into actions Move beyond the boundaries of time in how you maximise your 24 hours to achieve exponentially more than anyone else.

Rehana Shaik is a successful and motivated business executive who has added a part time MBA to her busy life. Find out how she does it in this episode. She believes planning is key, don't over commit even through you start with all this energy. Her advice for students starting out would be "ride the novelty wave as far as you can". Despite being a perfectionist she eventually got to the point where stopped aiming for a distinction, her goal became just to get her studies done. For people staring their MBAs she suggests you write down the few things that made you decide to do it in the first place. Keep this list close so that when you lose the motivation and you need that little bit to get you through you can remind yourself why you did it.
Rehana also emphasized having good relationships with other students and has benefitted from working well within her cohort. She explained how they covered the core modules in the first year; strategy, economics, accounting as well as operations, technology management and organisational development. The subject that stood out the most for her was business in society and collective action. She learned the power of the collective and why people behave in certain ways. This module helped her by "getting inside the minds of people" which is critical in her current executive role. A powerful part of our conversation was when Rehana spoke about women empowerment and and the impact they can have on the world. Rehana believes you can be the exec, leader, mum and more!!
Rehana provided some insight to her daily life and practical tips about juggling work, family and studies. She admits she is not a morning person but gets the kids off to school then switches gears into her career. In the evening she takes a break and has quality family time and then shifts into her studies. She is grateful to have enlisted people to support her and the household, plus she has a very supportive husband who "picks up the slack".

"Buntu Fanteso is completing his Master's in Water Scarcity. Currently, many parts of the Eastern Cape are faced with water scarcity and so his MSc research is based on unlocking alternative sources of water using traditional technologies. Buntu has been part of Enactus since 2015, where he served as a Secretary at both campus and institutional level. He is currently involved in an enactus programme that trains students in TVET Colleges to start their own businesses. He has also judged for Eskom Expo for Young Scientists for Mthatha Region, focusing on environmental management and sustainable development projects. In 2018, he was awarded the GreenMatter Postgraduate Scholarship Programme to do a BSc Honours at UJ. Through GreenMatter, Buntu co-founded Basisani Mkhuhlu with other students, an initiative that seeks to address illegal dumping in Mkhuhlu Township. He is currently leading the Recruitment Portfolio for Young Water Professionals-Gauteng Chapter, a professional network of people working in or interested in the water sector. He has identified the gap that exists between university students and professionals in the corporate world. His intent is to bridge this gap and connect students with young professionals in the environmental sector, for career guidance and mentorship. Buntu hails from a village called Ngcengane, outside Mthatha in the Eastern Cape.
This village is one with a high dropout rate at secondary school level. With the Rhodes Trust Scholarship, he hopes to inspire young people to continue with their studies - especially in his community, Buntu completed a BSc in Environmental Studies at Walter Sisulu University in Mthatha in 2017. In 2018, he started a BSc Honours in Geography at UJ where he is currently completing an MSc in Environmental Management. Says Buntu on being awarded the Rhodes Scholarship: "I'm very excited about it. It is a dream come true. I have always wanted to study abroad but I never thought I would go to Oxford, I am very grateful to the Rhodes Trust community for awarding me the scholarship. I would like to thank the six referees who supported me and wrote the referrals, my supervisor Professor Kowiyou Yessoufou, Dr Andrew Craig and friends for their unwavering support and encouragement." The first person he called when he found out the news of winning the scholarship was his mother. "Mum is very proud. She was proud when I moved to UJ, so you can imagine how proud she will be as I move from UJ to Oxford University. One of the key areas that Rhodes Scholarship focuses on is leadership. I hope to use this opportunity and influence young people to be involved in positions of leadership and make positive change in the society," says Buntu.
He plans to pursue his DPhil in Geography and the Environment at the University of Oxford. Buntu is planning to leave for the UK in August next year. This, however, is dependent upon the current COVID-19 pandemic. A Rhodes Scholarship is confirmed once a successful candidate has been offered a place in a department or faculty of the University of Oxford and in a college. The Rhodes Scholarship selection committees seek young women and men of outstanding intellect, character, leadership, and commitment to service. The Rhodes Scholarships support students from across the globe who demonstrate a strong propensity to emerge as 'leaders for the world's future'. A Rhodes Scholarship covers all University and College fees, a personal stipend and one economy class airfare to the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom at the start of the Scholarship, as well as an economy flight back to the student's home country at the conclusion of the Scholarship."

If you are using Grounded Theory or thinking about it then this webinar is for you. Lynlee will break it down for you and make it practical, plus she will answer your questions. Dr Lynlee Howard-Payne first introduced me to Grounded Theory when I was starting my PhD. She had used the methodology in her PhD to study medical male circumcision in South Africa. I was very interested in using it to study Agile software development teams in large organisations and her half day workshop convinced me to go for it. Since then Iβve had an incredible journey with Grounded Theory, even though people either love it or hate it. Itβs a rigorous inductive academic method that enables you to develop a new theory about what is going in on the lives of your participants. I recently got back in touch with Lynlee after finishing my own PhD and sheβs agreed to chat about Grounded Theory so you can get to grips with it as well. Join in for an awesome conversation between 2 Grounded Theory PhD graduates (but only one of us is the expert!)

Candice Figueira always wanted to do an MBA, to get an "end to end understanding of business". Many of her fellow MBA students wanted to start their own businesses and she says the degree encourages entrepreneurs which is great for South Africa, given its high unemployment levels. Many have started their own businesses but Candice says she was just "really curious" and just wanted to gain knowledge so she could give back and improve in her current job which is project management. The biggest benefit was personal growth, and after her MBA even opted to stay in her role, but now she can contribute more because she understands business. Another great skill she learnt was leadership and she also had some international travel when the cohort interacted with "the big gamechangers" from around the world.
Candice had a 3 month executive leadership programme in Los Angeles when they visited IKEA to learn their vision and strategy. She felt her research module in the MBA wasn't something you can just start and stop, it's more of a process. She found other students struggled because they are "last minute.com". Candice learned to allocate time to writing and research but she doesn't see herself writing a book any time soon. She says the coaching got her through and she heard stories about supervisors who didn't help their students. Looking back, she feels her MBA was exciting at the beginning but there were tough times and you shouldn't give up regardless of personal circumstances.
No matter how hard it gets, just kept going and start with why. If it feels overwhelming, break it down, take one day at a time and make sure you put at least 2 hours aside day. Celebrate the small wins - take each milestone and celebrate!!

Cara is studying triple negative breast cancer research using "cell culture" in her first year of a Masters Degree at University of Pretoria. She believes she was successful because she "perfected the way I went about each module". She has also started to tutoring other students and wants to give back even more as she continues her successful academic career in biochemistry and pharmacology. She believes you can go so much further with someone helping along the way, especially when there is such a big gap between high school and university. It's all about a progression from "spoonfeeding" at school to finding your own way in a degree, even more so at postgrad level.
She's also seen fellow students switch courses numerous times as they try and settle down in university. Many people also don't finish on time but no matter what you choose, there is no shortcut. People had to go long routes to get where they are and she believes "what is meant to be is meant to be", adding that some lessons can be a bit easier if you think it through. Cara is one of the first people in her family to do a masters and credits her parents with support and setting an example of being really good at what they do.
What worked for Cara will be different for other students and she follows her dad's philosophy of just doing her best., and don't compare yourself with other people. You also can't let your emotions get the better of you, just take it step by step, one year at a time - this is why she's not yet thinking about a PhD but would seriously consider doing one overseas. Her last piece of advice for fellow students: "if you think you can do something or you can't, you are probably right - its all about your mindset"

Tessa Lillie originally did a 3 year computer science degree many years ago and went into IT as there was lots of demand. She also went over to Germany for a while and became a very technical software engineer for about 32 years. In 2015 she got the feeling she was going down a rabbit hole and was getting bored of coding. After being invited to participate in a colleague's PhD study she decided to do her own. Now in her 50's she has completed her Masters and is busy with her PhD in Enterprise Data Agility.
I met Tessa when I presented to her masters class on Agile software development and since then she has made outstanding progress on a topic that she really enjoys. Now she is channeling stress into her studies and says its important to integrate across all areas of you life. She believes one of your anchors should be to understand what is going on in your own head and what excites you. The rougher your experience is the better the opportunity to sit back and assess your life.
Tessa makes great use of a research journal to show how her thought process has evolved. In 2020 she did 17 hours of semi-structured qualitative interviews and in 2021 hopes to finish her PhD although sometimes she says it feels like "trying to get 16 cats into a bag".

Michelle graduated from the University of Georgia and enlisted in the US Army after 9/11 as a specialist. She ended up working in public affairs engineering doing broadcasting and studio work. She's worked for the world's best luxury tour operator and was a US army reservist deployed to Iraq as a broadcast technician. Her husband is also a soldier and she tells the story of how they "fell in love under the palm trees in Baghdad". Originally she struggled to pay for college but got a scholarship as a track athlete and built up some money to study further. At 17 years old she was interested in people but admits she was a bit lost in her academic journey at that age.
Having been out of school for 2 decades since then she feels there's a huge benefit to having life perspective and experience when going back into academic studies. At the faith-based Lipscombe University she also feels treated as an adult and enjoys her studies because there is a lot of application to real world. Because of COVID she was furloughed in early 2020, but she is using her experience in the travel industry to apply what she is learning about sustainability to "get people to yes". Her mantra is People, Profit and Planet and her class materials are ground breaking new frameworks.
Hear about how she uses Grammarly, a writing application, to write better and regularly produces up to 3 papers per week. In this inspiring interview you will hear Michelle talk about her full and inspiring life, which she believes is what you make of it. She will inspire you to take the opportunity to go back to school, figure out what you want to do and reach for your dreams, as long as you don't let your ego get in the away.

Thanusha started her professional career as an engineer and went into consulting quite quickly after spending time in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods industry. She's been in banking for the last 8 years and did an executive leadership programme at London Business School. Her entrepreneurial mindset led her to a masters because she wants to unlock value in a "resource-constrained world". She says the academic bug really caught her because she took the plunge to further her studies with a PhD although acknowledges it's more of a "beast" than the Masters level.
She explained the 2 clear milestones at the early stage of a PHD; getting through ethics and getting your proposal aprpoved. She says you must be clear about the value of your research to business / society ultimately the academic value is stress-tested through the process and this can be a difficult stage of the research. She has clearly put every effort into it with 150 pages already completed for her first 3 chapters and she explains the difference between each of them and which she enjoyed the most. Now that she's through that stage she is focused on getting 450 people to complete her survey as part of a quantitative methodology that requires a lot critical thinking.
We also talked about managing supervisors and Thanusha believes it is crucial to manage it well from both sides. Her tips for supervisor management would be: research previous students with that supervisor, understand the quality of their expectations. I added some of my own tips - listen in and find out more. Thanusha is grateful for her academic journey and the value she has gained: it helped her grow emotionally and she says its so fulfiling when you are utilising what you've learnt and applying it in your personal and professional life.

I had the distinct privilege of working with Pie many years ago soon after he graduated and started work as a business analyst. His story since then is almost as fascinating as the years prior and in this episode I shed a tear for the incredible example this fine gentleman and distinguished academic scholar presents to everyone, especially students needing a dose of the right mindset and inspiration. As a young boy growing up in Rwanda he saw family members killed and his mother begged him to leave the country to study and make a life for himself. With just the clothes on his back he ended up on the streets in Durban where he was a car guard outside a university. He tells the story of watching students swipe their student cards through the turnstiles and his heart ached to have the same privilege - he was so desperate that he even just wanted to hold a student card and feel what it was like to go through a turnstile. He learned English from old VHS cassettes in the Durban public library, but as a refugee he had to battle his way through red tape and endless challenges to get a bursary and finally start his Physics degree.
After being in hospital twice for depression he eventually finished his degree and in his honours year became part of the first international cohort of Nelson Mandela Rhodes scholars. Having listened on the radio to Nelson Mandela's release when he was a boy in war torn Rwanda, Pie eventually met his political hero and then made his way to Johannesburg to start his full time working life at a large bank. Since then he has travelled to over 20 countries in Africa and today he leads a business school and collaborates with top international universities like Yale and Manchester. Every time he confers a degree on one of his students he remembers how much he yearned to hold a student card and the long hard road he has travelled. His message for students is that execution matters, manage your time, apply yourself and remember that success is not about how smart you are, its much more about your daily discipline and resilience.
He's currently writing a book about his life, due to be published in late 2021. What's the most important thing he has learned through it all? No matter what he experienced, and no matter what you experience, try and always say; "in this too I am grateful".

Dr Jeff is an international speaker, business school lecturer and recent double PHD student. In this episode he shared his insights about how you can be successful as a student. He answered some student questions in real time and drew on his decades of experience, innovation expertise and thought leadership. This was an inspiring session for our live viewers and you will benefit from their questions - Jeff even live-coached someone to get through their procrastination as they had some exams coming up. We also talked about the process of research, emotions, frustrations, failures, self-doubt, supervisors, careers and much more.
Don't miss this inspiring episode to help you be more successful; one of my students wrote to me afterwards and simply said "WOW WOW WOW"

Robert Hutchison-Keip admits he didn't know enough at 16 to make wise career choices. He picked microbiology from the university handbook because he thought it would be interesting and the main reason he did his honours year is because he was avoiding being drafted for service in the army. After he realised he didn't like sciences he changed course to become a chartered accountant and looking back realised that only in his 40s was he clear about what interested him. His 6 tertiary level qualifications have made him a well rounded and highly successful businessman whose innovative banking product was the subject of a Harvard Business School case study. He believes that real contribution is made through inter-disciplinary study and is grateful for the non-traditional courses he has done in his academic career.
He shares very interesting insights about his time at Oxford and the way its traditions and teaching style make it the top ranked university in the world. At Oxford, Rob wanted to benchmark himself on an international stage and get access to top lecturers and world leaders sitting right next to him in class. He believes that choosing a university is a very personal decision and depends entirely on what you want to get out of it. His learning style is drawing and summarising complex ideas in frameworks and 1-pagers; find your learning style and make sure to choose a university that encourages it. Rob's views on 4IR in education are quite radical and e challenges the traditional view of careers and faculty-based research. He believes the world has sped up in the last 50 years and there's an incredible shift in the psyche of people as we adapt to the disruption.
Rob has had an incredible academic and professional career over the last 40 years but he keeps learning, adapting and contributing back into his network. Listen to his life lessons and you will benefit from this wealth of experience to make the most of your own journey to student success.

Chris started his student journey in IT and then did a postgraduate diploma in management as he worked his way towards a more business focused career path. Now that he's finished his MBA he has lots of insights for students, such as the sheer amount of hours required for an MBA means you really have to be sure you want to do it, and have the extra 20-30 hours per week that you will need. He credits his family for their amazing support and although he worked 7 days a week he always took time to be with the family during the evenings and get to church on a Sunday. Chris believes that you must find what works for you and although he needed his coffee to get going in the early morning, that was when he did his best work.
His research was on a large bank's platform journey and he was interested in the change management aspects and how people adapted. Chris breaks down the MBA process of doing research and submitting dissertation chapters; his technical experience came in handy as he transcribed and analysed his 16 interviews. The most valuable insight I took away from this fascinating interview was the importance of developing your topic right at the beginning of an MBA so that your exams and assignments are all completed with the topic in mind. It also means you can get straight into research during that phase of the MBA.
His MBA was an "itch he needed to scratch" and he doesn't have plans to study but now that he's been promoted he has his sights set on climbing the corporate ladder. Don't miss this episode for some fascinating insights.

Kanina Foss "zig-zagged" her way through careers and studies in computer science, journalism and climate change before landing her dream job raising venture capital for women-founded start-ups in Africa. She also held a senior position at Wits University during the Fees Must Fall period when there was significant upheaval in higher education in South Africa. Following another chaotic year in 2020 she believes that universities are facing a disruptive future and the acceleration to digital is one that should be embraced, but balanced with sufficient human interaction. Her world view is also her passionate advice to students: "ask what you can do for the world, not what the world can do for you".
As a journalist she learnt to write fast and with brevity, and that these are lessons that also apply to academic writing. This interview was full of practical insights and I was particularly interested in what she's learnt about studying at the postgraduate level. Kanina did an interdisciplinary study in her Masters of Science in Global Change and she urges students to get going with your topic as early a possible and engage with industry for supervisors and support. Its alo important to start with why and work backwards to the how so that you can juggle all the balls in your life without burning out. Looking ahead she believes that local universities will have to stay relevant and provide unique offerings, especially when you can attend Harvard online.
As for her own future, you can hear the passion in her voice when she says that only 3% of global capital goes to woman-founded companies. This is a statistic that she's working hard to change and if anyone can achieve it, I know Kanina can. Don't miss this inspiring interview with a highly successful student.

Chante van Tonder is a lecturer and PhD student at the University of Johannesburg. She is also their official ambassador for 4th Industrial Revolution and is researching how smaller companies can adopt digital transformation business models. She's looking forward to when she can call herself Dr. C and believes you must be absolutely clear about your goals before putting in the hard work and making the sacrifice to achieve them. In this interview she explains how students should progress from high school to tertiary education levels and then on through postgraduate to where she is now, at the PhD level, and which she hopes to finish in 2021.
It's clear that this successful student "loves to learn" and her academic journey has been one of adapting to circumstances and grabbing opportunities. If she hadn't accepted a tutoring position she doubts she would be where she is today; she is researching a topic she is passionate about and has a bursary from the Netherlands where she spent 3 months as part of her study. There she was exposed to an international work ethic which opened her eyes and confirmed the importance of the right mindset when studying at that level. As a lecturer she has seen how students who engage and consult are more successful and University of Johannesburg works hard to integrate work experience into its academic programme.
Her advice to students is: get organised, have enough sleep, communicate effectively and have fun! Find out more in this inspiring interview.

Roxann attributes her student success to a strong emotional support from her study group and wakes up each day keen to "fill her bowl" and learn as much as possible. Having been in banking for 15 years she did her undergraduate while working part time and kept going even with her studies even when she got pregnant with her third child. To avoid being distracted when she studies she gives her phone to her daughter and then she makes full use of the time she has carved out on her study timetable. Now that she is doing her honours in business leadership, Roxann has seen the importance of the right mindset and encourages everyone to maximise the opportunity to study.
This is a truly inspiring story which Roxann hopes is the "pick me up" that you need to day. Listen in to find out how this successful student uses a "Learning Journal" to track the ups and downs of her academic activities so that she can look back and remind herself how far she has come. Looking ahead, she is confident that she will finish her honours "in the blink of an eye" but her success will not be measured by marks alone, she wants to take people with her on the journey and use what she has learnt to inspire others and drive more meaningful conversations, whether at work or at the "braai" on the weekend with her friends and family.
I was truly inspired by Roxann's story and I have no doubt that after listening to this episode, you will be motivated to keep going and reach for your goals as well.

Prof Carmichael helped me with Grounded Theory in my own PhD, she has a distinguished academic career and regularly publishes and presents at conferences in her field. Her advice to students is to manage your boundaries and understand exactly how much time is required for your degree; she breaks down the actual recommended hours per week for all degree levels. Listen in to find out more but I'm quite sure its more than you think! Over two decades of lecturing, supervising and publishing has given her a very good understanding of how to achieve student success.
Prof Carmichael strongly believes that a student and their supervisor must meet eachother half way and you must be in motion to get meaningful direction. In other words, don't wait until you've got something to say before you say something, or write something; postgrad success really requires forward motion, constant learning, listening and engaging. It's taken 18 years to develop a framework for how students should engage the literature and orientate their study in the context of research questions.
We touched on Grounded Theory in the interview but look out for a full episode when we'll discuss it in much more detail. It was an inspiring and candid discussion of postgraduate studies that will really help position you for taking on a serious commitment and being successful.

During her successful career in banking Julie-Anne learnt how to work 10-13 hours per day and achieved a distinction for her part-time masters in Education and Artificial Intelligence. At an early age she wanted to be a scientist despite being told she didn't have good enough marks. Her story is one of courage and determination, as well as a passion for how technology can help achieve student success. Today she has the freedom to pursue various interests which include part time lecturing, a family with 6 month old twins and a PhD that will design and build a software application that does online tutoring using artificial intelligence.
Her advice to students is that a PhD is totally different to a Masters and its very important to spend enough time on a well defined proposal. Up to 50% of your proposal can be re-used for your thesis and a good proposal really puts the rest of your research on a good track. She is passionate about how AI can help students achieve success because "machines don't get tired" and technology is advancing so rapidly that soon it will be able to tutor a student as well as a human. She says you have to plan ahead and visualise your future, but then you must grab it with both hands and if you choose a topic you love then your study will be "euphoric".
Don't miss this fantastic interview with a passionate and determined successful student.

Yolandie Richards is a lifelong learner who has just started her PhD. She believes "knowledge is power", she "loves academics" and studied engineering management as her undergraduate degree. Now she is taking her studies to the next level and has applied a range of new practices to ensure she stays on track and gets through. The most interesting technique is that she has left a blank space on her wall above her desk where her PhD certificate will go. Every time she looks at the wall she is reminded of what is going into the blank space and this motivates her to keep going on her journey, which she compares with a marathon, not a sprint. Sticking with the sporting analogues she also believes in the saying that its like riding a bicycle, to stay balanced you must keep moving forward.
Early Saturday morning is her best time of the week to complete a few hours of deep, in-flow studying. After a busy week of work she has a good nights rest on a Friday and wakes up early and does more work in those few hours than she would in the same time during the week when she has lots of other things going on. Another secret of her success is the GRIT formula which teaches an abundance mindset; everything is a learning opportunity and every setback can be converted into a step forward. Community is incredibly important for Phd students and Yolandie believes it can be a lonely road, so all the support and interaction you can get will be beneficial.

Nitesh Ramatar started his masters in digital business leadership because he wanted to reinvent himself and get beyond the "surface level learning" of his undergraduate studies. He has enjoyed getting deeper on topics like 4th Industrial Revolution and Digital Transformation and he has aimed to integrate his work / life / studies rather than draw clear boundaries between them. He acknowledges its been a challenge, but has enjoyed the opportunity to challenge his mental model and stay up to date through access to latest articles and research.
He meditates once per day to "calm the mind" and despite being a self-proclaimed people-pleaser, he has learned to say no to things if they will push him beyond his capacity. He lives by the 5 Ps of: Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance and has a very practical approach to mapping out each year so he knows in advance what his deadlines so that he doesn't stress about everything all the time. He finds that other students who don't do proper planning tend to stress unnecessarily and together with his daily routine, his planning has helped make him a successful student.
His advice to students is to acknowledge when you don't know something and have an open mind. He also valued being in a good syndicate group and focused on building trusted relationships with his fellow students. This interview was full of practical insights and deeper wisdom that is extremely valuable for all students.

"Do you want to save the world or get your degree?" This is what Doron's supervisor asked him when they discussed his thesis topic. It's a challenge that all researchers face: Take on too much and risk dropping out or narrow scope and get focused on finishing. We all do research to solve problems but with limited time and resources we should only aim as high for what we can achieve. Doron is a Computer Science graduate who is doing a part time masters in digital masters while also running a large team in a big corporate. His thesis is 50% of his degree and with the course work behind him he is now relishing the chance to go deeper into a topic he is passionate about: scaling up Agile practices in large organisations.
Doron also applies agile thinking in his studying and like to make progress as quickly as possible so he can go back and continuously improve through a plan > do > check > act cycle that he repeats as often as possible until he reaches his acceptable level of greatness. He acknowledges that part time student will have to juggle many balls but you should decide which are the glass ones that you will never drop. For him it is soccer with his boys every Sunday mornings and he's quite happy not to be a cum laude student if he can keep the right balance between studies and home life. When he reads literature in his field he seeks out the taxonomy articles to get a sense of all the research available and will pick high interest articles to read late at night. His final words of advice was that you should "check your ego at the door" / "don't be a martyr" and remember that you are studying for yourself so make sure you enjoy it.
You will definitely enjoy this episode, it's packed with practical insights and wisdom from a successful student. Doron also wins the prize for the best Zoom backgroun; check it out on the video version of this podcast on Youtube.

Stacey has a wealth of experience in achieving student success which she shares in the form of practical tips, wisdom and advice that can only come from deep experience. This experience comes from her 4 degrees and senior leadership position at Wits University as the President of the Convocation, which means she represents over 200,000 students and alumni on the university council. During her lifelong studying she has placed a huge emphasis on trying to achieve the "solve for education" particularly within a uniquely South African context. In her leadership role in education she has been focused on addressing the "missing middle", a part of the population that didn't benefit from the #feesmustfall movement.
In her personal capacity she has learnt how to learn, unlearn, pivot and adapt to changing work requirements and she has had a range of interests in different industries from sports to psychology. She learnt the hard way about the auto-save button when she lost a lot of her work for an assignment and together with many other skills that he developed along the way has become an expert in student success. She felt she underperformed at school but quickly made up for it in a a string of degrees that certainly puts her in the top 5% of graduates from Wits University. She believes in Wayne Gretzky's saying that "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take" and is passionate about being a master of her own destiny, which she says is the single biggest piece of advice she would give students trying to get through their qualifications.

Evasen Parumal did his undergraduate studies on management and he has registered to continue this research with a masters in leadership. He uses what he learns in his job and applies the insights and trends directly in his role where he manages a large team and finds it important to develop optimal leadership practices. He has developed many technique for balancing work and studies, such as emailing himself when he needs to take note of an action such as a book to read or some specific work to do. As a father he also sees his studies as an example for children to value continuous learning but he also takes time out to spend with family as much as possible.
He doesn't worry too much about boundaries between life, work and study; he is quite used to having these all blur into eachother and works best when he needs to juggle quite a few priorities during the day. He also took advantage of previous coursework to read further about relevant trends and research that helped inform his own study objectives. During the lockdowns of 2020 he made good use of the extra time that he didn't have to drive to work by studying further and making progress on his leadership qualifications. Most importantly he has learnt to question the value of anything he spends his time doing. Like for example he can't justify binge watching multiple series on Netflix, he would rather spend those hours studying, this was one of many examples he gave that provide practical insights into the secrets of this successful student.

10 years after achieving her undergraduate degree in biokinetics, Claire decided to go back to the books, even though her twins were 2 years old and she had a demanding job. She talked candidly about how she was clear on what she wanted to achieve and the boundaries she put in place to achieve that. She's a firm believer that you must "be kind to yourself" and always remind yourself why you are putting in all the extra hours. For her it was all worth it when she achieved her Masters with a distinction, having developed some ground breaking research about the wellbeing of call centre agents. Even though her studies were impacted by the COVID19 lockdowns of 2020, she managed to adapt and get everything done with the support of her family and friends, even though she couldn't see them as often as before, especially with studying in the evening and weekly webinars on Tuesdays.
Her advice is that you must be clear on 3 things if you are considering studying part time. How you are going to take action, what you will give up to get there and what are non negotiable boundaries. She wished she had started writing up her final report earlier than she did but she dedicated sufficient time to get it done and really valued all the reading she did up front to get a good sense of the literature and identify the problem she wanted to investigate. Its important to test your surveys if you are doing online quantitative research and she was grateful for supportive work colleagues who assisted and encouraged her in many aspects of her studies. Just the night before we recorded the interview she found out she had achieved a distinction so she was looking forward to celebrating and this episode is a perfect story of hard work and principles to achieve student success.

Having spend a couple extra years completing her undergraduate degree, Alessandra was passionate about understanding how to improve other student's success rates. She wanted to solve the problem of so many students failing or dropping out and jumped at the chance to do a masters level research using qualitative methods. She realised that previous research was largely quantitative and didn't provide the human insights that she was looking for. She urges students to speak to people to get support and encouragement while also putting in place "hard deadlines" that keep yourself accountable for making progress. Cultural issues also play a big role in student success with many students being the first in their families to study at a university and support structures need to be in place. She felt fortunate to be in a class group and joining the running team but students might tend to isolate themselves in research and this is a big risk.
Its also important to get a mentor, coach or at least someone who has walked the same path and can give you the insights you need. Students are often scared to ask their lecturers questions and they need a safe space to ask questions and interact to get the insights and support they need. Her own success was largely due to reading a huge volume and making notes with generative writing which served her well later on in her studies. She found her thematic, mixed methods research very interesting and although wanted to spend more time on analysing her incredible data set, opted to get finished and is looking forward to coming back to the topic with increased experience in industry and approaching it with a data science approach. Her advice to students in the long hard road of writing their thesis is that "it will finish" and they must trust the process, engage with their supervisors and push through. she would love to do a phd at some stage and promised to come back on the show to give us all an update.

Phumzile always knew she wanted to teach and doing her Masters in Management was a natural progression in her academic journey that also offered her a chance to research her passion. As a career HR professional, she also relished the chance to spread her wings beyond HR and get to grips with the world of woman-owned small businesses and entrepreneurship. The biggest lesson for her was the importance of managing expectations with people in her life about how much time she would have for them during her research, "it consumes you".
Looking back on her studies she shared some very practical things she learnt the hard way and would do differently next time. Like shortening her survey; although she had a decent sample size of 100, she felt more people would have done it if it was shorter. She also wished she had made a stronger link between her key themes and the constructs of her methodology, which she found quite tough and wished she had a better instrument for quantitative research. Despite working on campus until 1am most nights and being at work at 7am, she didn't have any regrets and promised to come back on the show when she has signed up for her PhD.

Prof Ivan Hofsajer co-ordinates postgrad students in the faculty of engineering at Wits University Johannesburg. He has strong views about how the world of tertiary learning needs to change and adapt. His tips on writing have helped me in my own PhD and he explains the difference for lecturers and students between online learning and traditional lectures.
He believes that "content will be amazing" because of market places but we will be frustrated by the lack of impact it will actually have on students. We have to find a new way of digitising the social compact that students have with eachother and their lecturer and supervisors should really be called advisors. Listen to this episode for a candid reflection from a very experienced lecturer on postgrad writing, research and student success.

Kribashnee has gone through a personal transformation as a student. She credits this to the βmindset changeβ she experienced by being exposed to an academic world and then applying those learnings as quickly as possible in her business role. She is studying at a postgraduate level and shares her academic journey with us and the tips she used to get through. She contracted up front with family and people that could support her so she didnβt feel bad when she had to close her study door and get some work done. Contracting with herself meant that she gave herself emotional space and time to succeed without being her own critic. She talks candidly about the importance of getting your mindset right and being kind to yourself if you are studying part time and balancing other priorities such as a family and a job.
She also rewarded herself with βsomething specialβ after each year of study as well as when she completed her degree which was an incentive to keep going. Even in the tough times like when her son was unwell during her first year she managed to push through and get her assignment completed. This is all about in tune with the journey that you are on as a student. As a part time student she was able to apply her learnings βin real-timeβ and she didnβt have to wait till she got her degree to make a contribution back to her organisation and the people around her. This has made her a lifelong learner and she has now signed up for a masters degree in business leadership and is excited about the next level of growth and contribution she can make to the world.

In this third episode of The Student Success Coach podcast Iβm going to talk about the value you get from listening in each week. I ask the questions that you would love to ask. There's the phd student who had to rock her 6 month baby in her arms literally while she was typing up her thesis. Thereβs a graduate of oxford, an old colleague of mine you will see why oxford is the most prestigious university in the world. So I guarantee there is loads of value in each episode, as you learn firsthand from the stories of success, and the journeys through hard times, but always ending up having made progress, learnt lots and absolutely willing to share that journey and help other people, just like yourself.
Then there is Pie Pacifique who fled the Rwandan genocide as a boy and ended up as a car guard in Durban where he tried to get into university and eventually became a Rhodes scholar. Stacey has 4 degrees from Wits University in Johannesburg, she has some incredibly wise words. One of my favourite questions that I ask these successful students is what they wish they knew earlier in their student journey. So if you get this kind of insight every week then you really canβt go wrong, you will absolutely be successful in your path.
Episodes will release every Wednesday on your favourite podcast platform and underneath each episode you will see the show notes so you can take action and get cracking with whatever you have learnt in that episode.

My name is Peter Alkema, I live in Johannesburg South Africa with my wife and 5 children, a dog and a cat. I work in digital transformation for a large bank and in 2020 I finished a phd, but instead of doing another phd (which I did seriously consider), I thought I would put my time into helping other students be successful on their journey. My undergraduate degree was mechanical engineering β I always loved taking things apart and I remember going to an open day at the local university and hearing the engineering lecturers talk about what we would study.
After completing my engineering bachelors degree I carried on with my masters straight away as I went into full time employment. I started my phd 4 years ago part time and finished that in 2020. After I finished my phd I thought I would package everything that I know and make it available to students, just like myself β everything I wished I had, I have made available through The Student Success Coach β courses, coaching and community! So in this episode I give you a bit of my background as a student and as a professional, I hope establishes some credibility and trust with me β Iβm a real person that genuinely wants to help you!

The first three episodes will give you the introduction you need about the show, about myself and about the value you can get from becoming a regular listener. The podcast will give you an-indepth listening experience, you will hear from other students talking about their journey and the practical lessons theyβve learned along the way to become successful. You will hear from students working on Masters, Phds, MBAs, diplomas, academic research and business people who have studied further, and very often who are studying part time.
A podcast is a wonderful format because itβs a deeper experience and it doesnβt require you to look at anything on a device! So put your screen away, plug in your headphones in and join me each week on a journey of student success. When I interview people I really try and get into their thinking, their outlook on life and importantly, how they studied, what were those practical tips and tricks they learnt along the way. Each interview also gives us something unique, and Iβll drawn that out and ask the important questions so you get the maximum value. I invite you to join me every week as we go into peopleβs stories, into real examples of student success and we walk their journey with them.
Each episode is 30-60 minutes so its great for driving to work or walking outside, even going for a run or when you are at the gym.
