• Unlocking career opportunities
• Enhancing visibility
• Fostering a sense of emotional support and camaraderie

We are pleased to annouce our speaker this month will be Ed Jordan, a SAMA award-winning musician and seasoned executive, who brings a wealth of experience from the performing arts to the banking sector. With a career that spans music, television, radio, innovation, insurance, banking, public speaking and executive coaching, Ed inspires audiences worldwide by unlocking their inner leadership potential.

Ed’s 10 minute talk, “South Africa, Connection, and the Power of Saying YES”, is a powerful invitation to explore how one simple word, “YES”, can open doors to extraordinary opportunities. In this short talk, Ed will share stories of courage, growth and connection that began with a single decision to take a step into the unknown, instead of stepping back. From unexpected business breakthroughs to transformative personal moments, Ed will unpack how saying “YES”, especially when it feels unfamiliar or uncertain, can lead to opportunity, confidence, collaboration, and impact. And in the context of South Africa, saying YES is not just personal, it’s a collective call to invest in the future, connect across continents, and create meaningful change.
