If there is indeed a giant within why do I feel small, why don’t I feel the strength of a giant welling up inside of me and bursting forth on the outside? Why do I put in so much and yet feel that what comes out at the end is so small, compared to how much I put in? Why then am I not making giant strides in my endeavors? These and many other mind-boggling questions trouble us every now and again and cast doubts as to whether we really are worth it. They leave us wondering if indeed we are called...

Now I am bringing lessons from my Productivity Live Webinar. I was afraid. Afraid because I have never done a live webinar before. Afraid because I have never done a live video either. I am always so concerned about how the video may turn out, leaving me with no editing option, because it just goes out there Live. Goodness! That used to totally unnerve and petrify me. I tried to shake off the tension and fear but it just won’t go away. I had to tell myself that if it wouldn’t let go of me then I...

This week, we are talking about going beyond surviving to thriving. Surviving means remaining alive especially after going through something tragic or unfavourable like sickness, the death of a loved one, etc. Survival is no mean feat, it is great and should be applauded, but thriving, on the other hand, is even better. So it’s amazing to survive but after you have survived, there is still more, Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! you will need to take it a notch higher, you’ll need to pump it up to the level whe...

Today it’s all about the party but naaaaah! Don’t grab your popcorn or drink because we are not throwing a party, rather we are ending the Pity Party. What exactly is a Pity Party? It’s that instance of indulging in self-pity or eliciting pity from other people. Wait! Hold on a minute, I am not saying we will not sympathize or empathize when people are faced with painful experiences, of course we will. By all means we should allow ourselves go through the natural process of healing and recovery...

Is there a connection between Productivity and Forgiveness?... Should we forgive if the person/offender is unrepentant and still hurts us? What if the offense is one that’s difficult to forget, how do you manage to forgive? These are thoughts that cross our minds daily as we journey through life. Now, Guess what??? As justified as they may seem, these thoughts clog our heart and clutter up our mental space. Just recently, I spoke on radio about forgiveness and it was indeed an eye opener for me....

Many times things happen along life’s journey and on many occasions they may be things that you would rather not face or admit that they actually happened or that they are actually happening. We would rather live in denial. But I realize from personal experience that living in denial doesn’t make it go away, it is what it is, so you will need to face it and confront it. Sometimes these things come out looking like giants, huge, overwhelming and seemingly insurmountable. Making you feel that you ...

What do you do when something difficult or totally unexpected happens? Do you beat yourself up? Do you Judge yourself harshly? Do you put yourself under pressure? What exactly do you do to bounce back? This week, in the midst of my own difficult moment - I share a really brief message just to encourage you.

You know how it is that sometimes we have clutter in our space, or life or mind that doesn’t quite let us progress or get much done, but because we have managed to survive with it thus far, we choose to continue managing it, feeling that we are fine because hasn’t killed us just yet. Yes! You may know how to cope with making it through with clutter but you haven’t experienced just how much easier it may be to thrive without it. In this week’s episode, I am going to take a walk along 3 paths, tha...

Clutter is one of the major deterrents and inhibitors of productivity. Clutter is a huge NO-NO if you intend to be your best productive self. I know this because, taking out clutter from people’s lives and spaces is what I do as a day job. Because sometimes it is so difficult to get people to let go of their clutter, especially when they are hoarders. Junk or clutter lying around your space is unhealthy and affects your quality of life negatively. So, we need to push to get it out before it brea...

In this week's episode of Life Lessons - I get vulnerable and talk about performance anxiety in the midst of always appearing like we have it all together and how we let ourselves feel the pressure from expectations and good performance, but how best to manage those moments even when we don't feel like we are operating at our very best.

This week I tackled a very important personal goal which had already stayed two years on my Vision Board by applying what I would like to call the "We Die Here" attitude. The attitude of going the extra mile to give a task everything you've got - in order to accomplish your goal or mission.

I just finished dancing to a famous 80’s tune titled, ‘Make That Move’ by Shalamar. It’s been a while since I danced this seriously. Whilst singing and dancing, i actually got to pay attention to the lyrics for the first time, after all these years. Lol! You know how sometimes you just gloss over and never really pay attention to the fine details. Part of the lyrics was; So many times, by holding back, we let the good things pass us by. Nothing is certain, you’ve gotta go for it. Interesting and...

When we focus more on making the best of the moment and giving it our very best shot while at it, we stand a better chance of winning at the end of the day and the possibility of acing it is usually higher. Even in scenarios where we do not win the price, we are noticed for how very well we performed, there is the possibility of being called upon for other or similar opportunities, because something about how we seized the moment makes us stand out.. On the flip side, when we place more emphasis...

Being pushed may usually take different dimensions for different persons. Some of us get so uncomfortable about being pushed that we are unable to look beyond the temporary discomfort and allow the process take its course, for the joy that lies ahead. Now, grab your favourite drink and let me share with you a quick story.

Our journey through life is unpredictable and as such it requires intentionality or else we can very easily get swept off or carried away with the winds and waves of change that come at us, as we journey through life. The bumps and many twists and turns that we encounter as we go along are sometimes so intense and real that in the twinkling of an eye, we are swayed off course. We drift so far away from who we are created to be or what we are created to do. When this happens we begin to go throu...

Sometimes after life has dealt us hard blows, we shut ourselves out and hide away from the rest of the world. We hide away because something broke inside of us after the blow. We hide to protect ourselves from being dealt yet another blow. In this episode, I'm asking to come out of hiding too and begin to truly live again. I charge you to not try to think it through but rather, just jump right in. First step out, then make the move and the next phase will follow.
