Word of Mouth
“The concept of sensitizing the top 15% of achievers toward social responsibility is a humane concept. These individuals are the decision makers of the future. Golden Key infuses morality, a balanced approach between individual ambitions and corporate social responsibility and prepares these top performers to act in the interest of all humanity. Practical experience during the student years infuses that spirit of compassion and caring in these future statesmen of our continent.” Dr Imtiaz Sooliman, Chairman: Gift of the Givers Foundation and Golden Key Honorary Member
"Working with the Golden Key organisation this year has been an excellent experience. We are privileged to be associated with an organisation that acknowledges top talent in South Africa. May our partnership grow from strength to strength as the Golden Key organisation grows in leaps and bounds.” Raylene Littler, Investec: Human Resources - Graduate Recruitment
“We believe in growing talent from within. This requires not only for us to have amongst the best learning environment but also to be able to get the best of minds into our talent pipeline. Golden Key partnership provides us the best opportunity to not only grow future leaders for Procter &Gamble, but also for Africa.” Mr Arvind Chandak, Procter & Gamble, HR Director for South and East Africad
"Golden Key plays an important role in recognising academic excellence worldwide. I am very pleased that students in South Africa have the opportunity to join this global community of academic achievers.” Mia Badenhorst, Former Director: Golden Key South Africa




Word of Mouth
“Golden Key has taught me to inspire and be inspired, to drive and to be driven, and that the vision of a nation that shares, cares and uplifts is still very much alive.” Sandipa Maharaj, Golden Key SA Student Representative 2003/2004 & Intern at Ernst & Young
"Serving on the Golden Key Executive Committee at UKZN has been the most wonderful experience I had at university. Working with dynamic, highly motivated committee members in coordinating campus events and participating in community outreach, was a challenge that helped me to develop valuable leadership and organisational skills. Golden Key opened up a whole new world of opportunities for me. It was definitely time well spent and I look forward to getting involved even more." Phillip Tembu, Chapter Officer, University of KwaZulu-Natal
"I attended a Golden Key Function at Tukkies last year. It was truly inspirational to see the students (and their parents) express huge pride in being selected to be members of Golden Key. It is a wonderful prize for a combination of hard work and talent.” Clem Sunter, Chairman: Anglo American Chairman’s Fund
"Golden Key recognises your academic achievement and creates opportunities for international networking and local community interaction. Be creative, join and share!" Robert Kotze, Head : International Office, University of Stellenbosch

Maximiser, Activator, Communication, Connectedness, Input.  Those were my 5 strengths according to www.strengthsfinder.com.  If you haven’t already, go and buy ‘Now discover your strengths’ by Marcus Buckingham and get STUCK IN! On the inside sleeve there is a code which allows you to do the online questionnaire. Then your strengths are revealed!

Why do I want to know my strengths?  I listened to Buckingham at the conference in London last year. What struck me is that the percentage of people who actually play to their strengths most of the time came in at 12%[1]! The rest seemed to think that fixing weaknesses is the path to success. And they could not be more wrong.

Travis GaleGolden Key is pleased to announce a monthly column by Travis Gale – an Associate of appletree and a Golden Key Honorary Member.

Travis Gale has involved himself in leadership and development processes since he was a teenager.

After finishing high school he embarked on an “around-the-world” bicycle trip covering over 16 000 kilometers and succeeded in raising R1.7m for children living with HIV/AIDS in KwaZulu-Natal. For this he was awarded a North Local Council Mayoral Award for Community Development.  

Travis has been an active speaker on his experiences and continues to seek out opportunities to challenge his community to step out their comfort zones.  The Durban Umgeni Rotary Club acknowledged this by presenting Travis with a Merit Award for “Devoted and Unselfish Service Above Self” to the community.

The Rugby World Cup gave us plenty of time to hear our National Anthem being sung, and a host of other ones to.  Of course only one came out tops!! The victory was awesome.  I went down to watch the Boys in Green do their drive around town on a double-decker bus.  South Africans, of all colours and religions, were out with vuvuzela’s and positive attitudes. One nation – at least for that hour.

So it’s the 24th of October… I am in a bit of a ‘dwaal’ tonight as I write this and also have the fact that I am meant to have these articles in by the 17th looming in my mind!  Reason for my delay (alongside the poor planning part…) is that I spent the weekend up in JHB watching the Bokke take the English (yes please!!!) and then at a retreat for three days with apple tree.  Our retreat takes place annually and it’s where we get to re-evaluate our individual and collective values, purpose and vision. It is always an exciting time as you reflect on your life, where you have come from and where you are going. It is even more exciting when you get to be part of a team who works together to make something happen, pushing through hard times and celebrating the highs together.

Last night I was captivated.  

At 17h37 I received a call from a good friend of mine, Budgie (think I may have spoken about him in previous articles). “I have two tickets to the premier of ‘The Alps’ at IMAX,” he said.  This is my cup of tea, and on top of it I would get to meet some new people including Sean Wisedale - the first African to summit the 7 peaks!
