AI consulting for small businesses has become a crowded market in about two years. Agencies that built websites now sell AI audits. Freelancers who learned prompting last spring sell implementation packages. Most owners who get a pitch have no way to judge it, because they cannot yet say what they want AI to do. That […]

You leave a meeting with two pages of notes and, a week later, cannot find the one decision that mattered. Most people have the same problem, because most of us were taught to write down what we hear rather than what we need. Learning how to take notes effectively comes down to three changes: write […]

Type your age, your savings and the year you want to stop working into ChatGPT and ask it to plan your retirement. In about fifteen seconds you get a confident, well-organised plan: a savings rate, an asset mix, a withdrawal strategy, a note about tax. It reads like the output of a two-hour meeting with […]

Is ChatGPT accurate? OpenAI answered that question itself in August 2025, in more detail than any outside critic has managed, and the answer was published in a table.

You delete “moreover” and “furthermore”. You strip out “landscape” and “tapestry” and “in today’s fast-paced world”. Then you read it back. It […]

Is a business degree worth it? The honest answer is that the question is usually asked in the wrong units. People compare the tuition against an average salary, decide the gap looks favourable, and enrol. The average salary is the wrong number, because a large share of graduates never reach it. The figure that matters […]

Most people asking how to write better do not have a vocabulary problem. They write emails that get misread, proposals that get skimmed, and updates nobody acts on, and they assume the fix is more sophisticated language. It is almost always the opposite. Unclear writing is nearly always unclear thinking wearing a suit. The long […]

At Rustenburg Girls’ High School (RGHS) in Cape Town, creating greater access to opportunity has become central to our thinking. For 132 years, the school has focused on developing young women who go on to thrive in universities and professions, such as Rhodes Scholarship winner Justine Crook-Monsieur, who studies astrophysics at Oxford, and Gabriella Roodt, […]
