NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR
THINK LIKE A MAN He has been married for many years and as an evidently social guy, he has been around different types of men which provides useful insight to how they think. I attended a wedding a few weeks ago where a man of a similar age delivered a speech aimed at advising the newly-wedded husband which had a number of similarities to what Harvey has to say. Ladies can also learn a lot from this amazing revelation to man-like thought particularly when it comes to relationships.
t the time of writing this note, my partner and I had just been to the local cinema hall to witness the much anticipated SA premier of the movie “Think Like A Man”. The 90 minute presentation is based on Steve Harvey’s bestselling book “Act like a lady, think like a man” which I have read... twice....so far. I am not a big fan of his form of comedy so it was surprising that both book and film drained tears of humour from my eyes. The movie is as much a must see as the book is a must read for both men and women. I like the fact that both capture the experiences of the author and his observant nature provides lessons for both sexes. Women get to understand why men behave the way they do while men can learn something from an old head who is much more than a comedian.

EXPATRIATE
Away from relationships but still speaking of ladies, it is by design that I write the foreword this time round. This is the ladies issue, dominated by the voices of our marvellous gender (plus some eye-candy in Kojo Baffoe). I find it quite inspiring that this time round our pages are taken over by women who are doing wonderful things in business, in their profession and in each of their particular spheres of endeavour. And in many of the groups we feature, it is also touching that we still embrace our innate tendency to care for those less fortunate. Whether you are a man or a woman who thinks like one or neither…. this issue celebrates women. Enjoy!
