The Freedom Myth

I used to believe that freedom meant doing whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. No rules. No limits. Just living life “free.” But somewhere along the way, I realized that chasing total freedom often left me feeling lost, not liberated. In today’s reading, John Maxwell said, “Freedom is not the absence of responsibility; it’s the… Continue reading The Freedom Myth

I used to think the best way to grow was to focus on fixing weaknesses. But then I noticed that when people work in their strength zone, they don’t just perform better they light up. I saw it firsthand with someone on my team. They were struggling in one role, constantly getting drained. We switched… Continue reading Putting People in Their Strength Zones

Problem Solving

I’ll never forget one particular Monday morning. Everything that could go wrong… did. A client backed out, my team was confused, and I sat there staring at my to-do list, wondering where to even begin. I felt unease and wanted to panic but instead, I paused.

I remember one moment so clearly, sitting in an almost quiet room, reflecting on a personal breakthrough.

Understanding People Pays A lot.

Years ago, I worked with someone I just couldn’t seem to connect with. No matter how clear I was, no matter how much effort I put into teamwork, we clashed. I used to think it was just a “personality difference” until I realized something deeper. I just didn’t understand them.

Stepping-Stones for Success

When I look back at the early days of my life, I can now only smile at how little I knew and how much I’ve grown. But it didn’t happen overnight.

Achievers Versus Average

Today as a continuation of my leadership series, I learned something intriguing and decided to share it with you. Stay with me, you might learn from it. See, I remember sitting in a meeting once, watching two team members react completely differently to the same challenge.

Resilient

What is one word that describes you? What can I say? One word to describe me? Ha! Just one? That’s like asking me to pick my favorite food when I clearly love eating half the African cuisine menu. But fine, if I had to sum myself up in one word, it would be “resilient.” You… Continue reading Resilient

Let Them Fly with You

Early in my journey, I had this belief that if I wanted something done right, I had to do it myself. Ever felt that way? I thought success was about my effort, my skills, my vision. But then, someone told me something that changed my entire approach to leadership which was… “The best leaders don’t… Continue reading Let Them Fly with You
