An Evening of Insight and Inspiration
The launch was more than just a book promotion; it was an immersive experience that challenged attendees to rethink their approaches to leadership and personal development. The discussions underscored the importance of adaptability and continuous learning in today's fast-paced world.
Last night, I had the privilege of attending the Johannesburg edition of the Expansive book launch, hosted by Mark Sham under the Suits & Sneakers banner. Held at The Tryst in Woodmead on May 21, 2025, the event was a convergence of forward-thinking minds eager to delve into the realms of leadership, adaptability, and future-readiness.

The evening featured insights from co-authors John Sanei and Erik Kruger. Their collaboration, both in the Expansive book and the accompanying podcast, offers a fresh perspective on personal and professional growth. The duo's dynamic interplay provided attendees with actionable strategies to navigate the complexities of our rapidly evolving world.
