5 Difficult Leadership Decisions and How to Make Them

Being a great leader isn’t easy, but almost anyone can do a good job if they put in the time and effort. What really sets outstanding leaders apart from average leadership is the decisions that are made when tough situations come up. By considering these five common decisions most leaders will have to make at some point in their career, you’ll be better equipped to make them when they inevitably come up.  1) Going in a different direction While most professionals go into a project believing it will be a success, sometimes it doesn’t turn out the way you planned. Though this doesn’t automatically mean giving up, at some point, you’ll need to decide whether to continue on the path you’re on or switch directions. Going in a new direction with your business can be daunting; though you’ve done your market research, there are no guarantees.  It’s a good idea to consult your team for their input, but at the end of the day it’s your decision. Trust in your experience and knowledge, and...

MY MOTHER HAS BECOME AN ANGEL

To be honest with you, I have no feelings at this moment as I type, and the word "NUMB" is literally my middle name, this is why. On the 5th of August 2021, a part of me died! My Mother who sat and watched my infant head is gone, but is she really? Facts leading up to the death of my mother seem to proove to me that she is very much still alive but as an Angel, I say this because a day after her demise, many strange but miraculous occurrences happend just before we laid her to rest on the 18th and 19th of August. The first thing I observed in knowing my mum became an angel was the acts she did up until her demise. Mum had a little diary where she wrote her daily life experiencies, Mum left a note where she had a count down till she went up to heaven to be with my Father who passed on 23 years ago, Mum counted the last date is a small piece of paper where she wrote, 22 years, 11 months and 1 day (this is how long it took her to be reunited with my father in heaven)...

NAOMI CAMPBELL HAS A BABY GIRL AND THE FATHER IS....

Okay, wonders will still never ever cease. Listen, if Naomi Campbell can have a baby, a full whole human, come out of her at the age of 50, then 3 things are involved. God, because this is a miracle and the fact she finally decide to have a child and it's a girl still amazes the hect out of me. The second thing is, who tha heck is the baby daddy? and finally, the third thing, is the fact that Naomi had such a tight crew that not even a single picture of a pregnant Naomi got leaked online.

Stop Being a Pushover: Learn To Say No in 10 Steps

How do you stop saying yes when you honestly just want to say no? Well, it’s not easy. I used to have a lot of trouble with it. And so I’d become frustrated and angry with myself and others who had asked me about a favor or help. While at the same time working on someone else’s goals instead of my own and wasting too much time and energy on that. Things simply had to change. So I set out a handful of years ago to learn how to become better at saying no. 1. First, keep in mind why you’re saying no. When you are about to say no then remember why you are doing it. Focus on the positive things it will open up in your life such as more time for your family, for your writing or other hobby or simply for relaxing so your stress levels will go down. Because you need to say no to things to be able to say yes to the things you want out of your life (there isn’t enough time and more importantly energy to do it all). This positive motivation will help you to go through with your decis...

A NEW BEGINNING

The new year 2021 is finally here! and so am I with new beginnings and greater heights in the coming days. 21 is the start of adulthood, so its only right I start from screatch (Not really, given my years of experience), I have finally bowed out gracefully from my previous employers. I had a great time ( A whole 7 years 3 months and 7 days, you can not tell me it is not significant, this is Gods doing. So I made a post, find it below. 737! No, it's not a USSD code. It's the time I spent making memories at one of the places that's come to represent a part of my identity. There were highs & lows, like in every of life's endeavors, but I wouldn't even change the lows, cause they also provided the spring to go higher. I met wonderful people. I was taught and I taught. I grew up and evolved. Like every book, it's time I step into my next chapter. Thanks to everyone: management, colleagues, celebrities, media guides and of course my listeners, you made my 7 ...
