Motivation

WHAT I ORDERED vs WHAT I GOT.

In 2015 a ‘big girl’ in a StanbicIBTC Bank Lagos wanted to hire me as her coach. She had made concerted efforts to get my attention but because I am based in Abuja, we really did not get a convenient arrangement. At some point, I visited Lagos. As at that time, I had not met Stella (our now COO) and Tunde (our last Director of Programmes).

DON’T BE A WEAK FOUNDER OF A STRONG BRAND.

Many people I have coached do not want to be the face of the business they are building. Some, for valid reasons; others, for reasons like shyness and fear. The discussion about whether to build a personal brand or a corporate brand is usually active. To some, they will build a powerful company brand and be ‘faceless’. For some, they would rather build their personal name because to build a company is a lot of work. To some, both should grow in parallel.
