Dr. Nondumiso Makhunga-Stevenson Speaking Topics

  • Thriving Through Seasons: A New Lens for Navigating Change

    In an era where AI, burnout, and uncertainty are reshaping healthcare, healthcare providers face a more personal question: how do I lead myself through change without losing clarity, purpose, or hope? This keynote is intentionally crafted to focus on self-leadership as the foundational ability to navigate disruption, not by offering prescriptive career advice, but by strengthening the inner resources needed to adapt with purpose.

    Designed to resonate with both early-career healthcare workers and those approaching transition or legacy-defining decisions, Dr. Nondumiso Makhunga-Stevenson invites the audience to reimagine their careers as unfolding seasons. Rather than resisting disruption, doctors will be encouraged to embrace it as a catalyst for personal growth, evolve their mindset with each season, and intentionally design a life and career aligned with deeper meaning.

    Takeaway Messages:

    • Reframe disruption (including AI and rapid change) as an opportunity for growth.
    • Recognize your career as seasonal, requiring evolving mindsets and self-trust.
    • Lead yourself first, with self-awareness and curiosity to align your path with your purpose.

    This empowering talk re-centers agency, resilience, and intentionality as core competencies for modern medical careers.

  • Rethinking Leadership in Medicine: What Today’s Leaders Must Unlearn

    Leadership in medicine often falls into familiar patterns of hierarchy, control, and perfectionism. While these approaches may have once seemed necessary, they can now hinder collaboration, trust, and wellbeing within healthcare teams. This keynote challenges doctors to rethink traditional leadership habits and embrace more human-centred, inclusive approaches.

    Dr Nondumiso Makhunga-Stevenson explores common leadership pitfalls that physicians encounter such as relying solely on technical expertise, avoiding vulnerability, and sustaining rigid power dynamics, and offers practical insights for leading with empathy and authenticity. Drawing on Ubuntu philosophy and evidence-based leadership principles, attendees will learn how to foster psychological safety, repair relational ruptures, and build cultures of shared responsibility.

    Whether you are a new or experienced leader, this session provides actionable strategies to shift from control to connection, creating environments where teams flourish and patient care improves.

    Takeaway Messages:

    • Avoid reliance on hierarchy; lead through empathy and collaboration.
    • Embrace vulnerability as a strength, not a weakness.
    • Build psychologically safe teams that encourage openness and trust.
    • Apply Ubuntu principles to foster shared leadership and community.
    • Recognize leadership as a relational practice, not just a technical role.
