My hair grows weekly so I visit the barber shop weekly. Because of my characteristic laziness though, it sometimes takes a fortnight and by then, my head already itches and makes me feel uncomfortable. So I must do the visit latest 10 days apart.
Some years ago, when we hosted one of SOBCA’s free tasters on Mental Health and Emotional Intelligence at Be Better Centre, Gudu (Abuja), right after the session, I had the privilege of chatting with the Founder of Be Better Centre, Mr. Omagbitse Barrow, and another friend (and former client), (I will omit her name for a purpose).
Last week, an architect came to me with a need. She said she is not permitted to market her profession (based on ethics of architecture) but she wishes she can merge her work with human capital development. So she needed a strategy because she was experiencing sickness and depression from just being on her job.

I listened in live to this radio show called UNSCRIPTED and this episode was raw, powerful and as real as can be.

Around my estate, there is a UBA ATM Machine. It has been there since I moved into this estate 2 years ago. If my guesses are right, most times than not, the 2 ATMs are always OUT OF SERVICE or TEMPORARILY UNABLE TO DISPENSE CASH. This was the norm. It got to a point when I really did not bother checking the machine anymore.
I cannot say this enough. No matter how much you pay for coaching, your coach is not responsible for the actions you must take to get your outcomes. Many people say ‘my coach is not helping me.’, ‘my coach just left me alone to do this’, ‘my coach this, my coach that’. Well, good or bad news: YOUR COACH HAS NO BUSINESS DOING YOUR TASKS FOR YOU.
Steve Harris usually says there are 4 reactions people have towards a brand:
1. Brands they love to love.
2. Brands they love to hate.
3. Brands they hate to love.
4. Brands they are indifferent about.
I had a brief intervention session with one of my darling protégés today and I shared this epiphany. She requested that I make it public and I argued. But tonight, I feel inspired to share this. Perhaps, someone will be energized by God through this.

He was a man I really admired. He was a good man. He wanted everyone around him to flourish and be fine. He looked out for people easily. Provided he knew your challenge, he would go all out to help. He made A LOT of money in his business.
