Off the clock

Titles fall away. The person behind the role takes the chair.

The hosts

Peter Mehlape is co-founder of Off The Clock, the leadership and wellbeing podcast he hosts with his son, Mahlatse, and his daughter, Tshepiso. A conversation between them turned into a show: sit with CEOs, founders and leaders, and ask about the part the title leaves out.

Rest, stress, family, sleep, and how a person actually lives while doing a demanding job. Peter is also the author of Winning in Africa: Your Next 8 Moves for Business Success in Africa, with a foreword by Shameel Joosub, Vodacom Group CEO.

Rest isn’t weakness

The show exists so executive rest, stress and mental wellness are not treated as off-limits. Burnout is not a strategy. If leadership is going to last, there has to be room for the person behind the title.
