The FNB Graduate Programme taught me tools that I didn’t realize I really need and actually needed a long time ago. 

The transition from a student to a professional working person in a new city in an industry completely different to what I studied for, got to me more than I expected it to. 

All of the modules in the program brought value to me, and gave me inspiration especially the Mindfulness and Professional Presence module. 

The Mindfulness module gave me practical methods to use in situations when I am overwhelmed or anxious. I am now able to look at these situations with a clearer mind and consequently make much better decisions. 

The professional presence module improved on my confidence in a professional environment. It broke down certain negative beliefs I had, of which the biggest one would most likely be that me being an introvert automatically causes me to have a disadvantage in presenting myself confidently and capturing an audience. 

I am thankful for the opportunity to be part of this programme. I love the idea that I am able to improve myself on so many levels. The possibilities are endless… 

Thank you
