I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from Tobi Afolabi (TASpeaks) on Comportment and Etiquette, a lesson delivered this year, in the month of February. Let's Talk About Series is a personal and career development discussion platform that discuss diverse topics to help boost people's productivity and build personal confidence. They are passionate about self discovery, and believe the strife for personal development helps in adding value to one's life; creating opportunities and setting priorities for the areas that make them most effective. You can check out the community on Facebook. ----- Tobi Afolabi: If I were to ask what we love most about Pastor E. A. Adeboye, I am likely to get comments such as he is humble, generous, polite, well dressed, cultured... If I ask same for Buhari, Dangote, Steve Harris, Jimi Tewe and many more, I am equally likely to get a similar feedback. Doesn't it amaze you that we...

Should an Employee seek to grow his passion?

By -
Image
This is a question that has generated a lot of conversation and brought diverse responses. Should an employee seek to pursue his or her passion? When is the right time? How do I make time to pursue it and make it profitable? Questions like these have lingered in the hearts of employees. With the uncertainties at some work place, the satisfaction derived from your heart's call and the fear of regret at the twilight of life. These and many more have pushed many out of their comfort zone to run their dreams and same time, the demands have made much more cower and stay in their comfort zone, drained of life - dying daily. Am I saying you quit your job to chase your passion? Of course not a decision to be made in the spur of the moment. You just must start small and take little steps towards them. I don't want to use my experience to explain this but let me share a friend's. I met him at a wedding over three years ago, we were groomsmen to our mutual friend and from the...

Let's talk about Olajumoke Adenowo

By -
Image
I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from one of the sessions we had this year. The session was on Olajumoke Adenowo. ---------- (Diligent Amaka speaking) Olajumoke Olufunmilola Adenowo (born in 1968) is an award-winning Nigerian architect, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, as well as a speaker, radio host, and author. She is the founder of the boutique architecture and interior design firm AD Consultin, based in Lagos, Nigeria.

ATF runs Camp Dawn...

Your free time is a Gift, You either waste it or wield it!

By -

I spent 6 years and 9 months in the University to bag the two degrees that made me a doctor. Within that stretch of time, we had a few months of unintended free time on our hands. Strike Action. No classes. No work. Just an empty day waiting for you to either waste it or wield it. In my 5th year, I had paid my dues with boredom but it was another indefinite refusal of Nigerian Doctors to return to work until their demands were met. I stretched from my bed, gazing at the white slates of my ceiling and I determined, I could do anything with the time I had... ANYTHING. So, I went to a store and bought varying colors of embossed cardboards, rulers, pencils, gum, scissors and pens. I was going to teach myself how to make a self made greeting card. I surfed on the internet for designs and clues. And I sat with my new found passion for days – perfecting an art I had stumbled upon because I loved the process of self discovery. I was cutting, shaping, calli graphing, drawing... doing all th...

While We Wait, We Sing On...

By -
Image
Suddenly it all became warm, The warmth you experience when a friend walks in and sits beside you Then it all got brighter, everywhere illuminated Then there was melody, uncommon rhythm... Then unconventional lyrics... The song won't stop playing... It keeps flowing... It's source is deep... Tears flowed with the melody as the eyes couldn't help but express what the heart felt... Chills, goose bumps... Could there be a deeper feeling? Could there be a better place to be? Could there be a better feeling of security?... Awe, reverence, love, sweetness... Beauty... Purity... Tho the present senses are limited, Vocabulary, inadequate to express the feeling of Reality Yet we do know that someday we would see that Friend who walked in and sat beside... We, not Him will be changed... We would be just like Him... We would behold Him and our pupils won't be destroyed by His All-Light personality because we would be All Light too... And the melody we would sing ...

If You can love wholly, love wholly

By -
Image
It's easy, too easy, to mouth off the long list of things we'd never do for a partner or while in a relationship. To drop wisecracks at the expense of those who make lifestyle changes when they get married. Here's why; Today's idea of relationships is a far-cry from what "being in love" is. This power tussle where each partner is striving to be the one who loves less. The one who walks away with more blood on their hands. Where everyone wants to score points for their teams. Being in love is a completely different ball game. It's you and this person trapped in a bubble of happiness which you don't want to break out from. You'd do silly things to keep them looking at you a certain way; say corny stuff to make their eyes light up; drop certain habits because you can't stand the friction they create between you two. A bad breakup may be the only thing capable of tainting the memory of how natural it felt to do these things and how happy they m...

You Can attract the Grace and make it happen

By -

In my routine muse, out of the loud silence of my mind came deep words which I consider both factual and true... Nothing happens on it's own, we live in a realm of cause and effect; sowing and reaping; give and take; garbage in, garbage out... Life can, to a good extent be predictable; nothing is new, just some kind of cycle... Principles guide life, break them and dance to whichever tune life plays for you. Grace, yes Grace, does not groom lazy men who sit with bowls waiting for manna rain. Grace empowers you to labour, opens new thought lines in your head, makes you smart, diligent and the boss in your game. Ask successful people, when they say it's grace, hehehehehe, ask them very well, the sacrifice was huge, the labour was much, but, with grace, it was a pleasant pain, a restful toil, trust me... God doesn't raise robots. An average human is sooo loaded, ever wondered why the seemingly "non-religious" ones excel too? The law of sowing and reaping is th...

Leadership!

"Leaders must be good managers, but most managers are not necessarily good leaders". TOM MULLINS. "Leadership is influence " JOHN. C. MAXWELL. Becky Brodin said, "Leadership is not wielding authority – it's empowering people". The most effective leadership is by example, not edict. A leader is one who guides and develops the activities of others and seeks to provide continual training and direction. Leadership is an awesome responsibility. Leadership is a trust conferred upon by others. To earn this trust, you must be true to yourself. Leadership development is a lifetime journey, not a brief trip. Leadership emerges in response to situations that require the very best you have to offer. Brain Tracy said, "The ability to make decisions and act boldly in face of setbacks and adversity is the key to greatness in leadership". John Hagai said, "Leadership is the discipline of deliberately exerting special influence within a group to...

Its a Love and Relationship Something

Hello Somebody! I believe you're doing great? And hope the week has been a positive one too? Just wanna drop these quotes for you. It's a Love and Relationship Something. You'll definitely find them helpful. Share with your friends too, and help bless a soul. It's a month of Love, so we've gotta keep the Love alive! Enjoy! ----- Relationships are mysterious. We doubt the positive qualities in others, seldom the negative. You will say to your partner: do you really love me? Are you sure you love me? You will ask this a dozen times and drive the person nuts. But you never ask: are you really mad at me? Are you sure you’re angry? When someone is angry, you don’t doubt it for a moment. Yet the reverse should be true. We should doubt the negative in life, and have faith in the positive. – Christopher Pike ----- When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that ...
