A few weeks ago I met a young man, Craig Jephta. Craig started at RLabs as a student of the GROW Leadership Academy and two years later he is now a permanent member of staff. We met while I was visiting the Rocklands Youth Cafe (Cape Town) to facilitate a Digital session. Digital is one of the three components of GROW, the other two being Leadership and Entrepreneurship. Craig is such an amazing young man with so much positive energy to share with the world. He shared about the tremendous LOVE that he has for his JOB. This young man says he has not worked a day since he started at RLabs! He is among the very few that look forward to Mondays. I was deeply inspired. I want such joy and fulfillment in my work and life.
I feel so blessed to be able to interact with people such as Craig. He also shared about his earlier intentions to pursue a career in Political Science. The goal was to effect sustainable developments in people’s lives and he believed he could do this as a civil servant through an active role in policy making. While education is necessary, Craig asserts there are so many ways of making a visible difference in people’s lives and he does this daily at the Youth Cafe. His job is what gets him out of bed every morning. How many people can say this about their jobs? How many get to make such great impact through their jobs everyday? Universe, I hope you're listening!
