Full report is coming sometime soon, but if I've learned one thing from Shape Africa, this'd be it:
However hard you think you're working, however ambitious you think you are, however accomplished you could be, you can always, ALWAYS, do better. And not just better for you, but better for the people and the environment surrounding you. Better work, bigger impact, and even more fun, you can actually do that and much more.
Personally, realizing that the limits I subjected myself to were too narrow was quite a light bulb moment. And what I loved from Shape was how I was surrounded with people who walked the talk, whose stories I heard and went like "hey, that's actually possible", and not from you know... motivational speakers.
(Smartly ofc. Rest, making sure your direction is right, prioritizing are all important - no need to burn out)
