Sara Serakalala, Industrial Engineer, Global Citizen, SME living in Madrid, working parent, seeking life-long learning and work-life balance during COVID-19 and beyond.

In today’s episode, we have a very special global guest Sarah Serakalala. We have an interesting conversation around her background growing up in rural northeast South Africa in the Limpopo region. Limpopo is a South African province bordering Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. It's known for bushveld and wildlife reserves, including part of Kruger National Park. We discuss her life growing up in South Africa, her formative years in a boarding school, and her college years which took her to the path of working on a major manufacturing global project. She describes the diversity in workforce, both in thinking and people, which was part of her journey with a major German company. She discusses how this project opened her career to Madrid, Spain, and how she’s learned to leverage her unique origin story to shape her career and future. She gives us some of her favorite book recommendations to get 1% better, advice to recent college graduates, and our fictional trip with Michael J. Fox and his Back to the Future DeLorean, to get some rear-view mirroring insights.
