organisations interact with their staff,
businesses, suppliers and customers.
According to Immersion Group, this event is
a wakeup call for organisations on the vital
importance of digitalisation throughout every

Breakaway topics:
What you have learnt about yourself during
this crisis which you did not know before
What are your coping mechanisms
Something you have learnt about business
from the crisis that you should have known
before hand
Did you have sufficient resource to manage
the crises – in what form?
Has your workplace experienced an increase in
gender based violence?
If you were going to invest right now, where
would that be?
What should your business be doing right now
so that within 3 years you will say that the
current crisis was the best thing that ever
happened to your business
In Enette’s private practice, she works exclusively

In 2009, Enette founded the Level 8 Leadership

“Arrogant humanity always thinks that among all living
beings only humans can write a sensational story in
the world! But here's a nano organism called
coronavirus - just like other microorganisms of the
past - proved the opposite of this!”
