Audrey Kaptum, former president of Lapid Leaders Africa, says she joined the Lead Marketplace to overcome her aversion to interviews. She joined the pillar despite being preoccupied about what to say during interviews. She is now able to do interviews with ease. This was also made possible with the assistance of mentors. Discussions on mindsets also assisted her in determining if she has a development mindset or a fixed attitude and in adapting to a growth mindset.
