GUEST POST: Are you a FAST leader?



Are You A F.A.S.T Leader?
“Too many leaders are like travel agents. They are sending people to places they’ve never been” – John C. Maxwell

The mechanism of the entire universe cannot be complete without leadership. It is applicable in
virtually all jurisdictions; Schools, organisations, family, etc. On a lighter mood, even the animal
kingdom has a form of hierarchy.
At creation, God gave man the commandment to rule and dominate. This shows that there is an innate character of leadership in every man that needs to be harnessed.
When it comes to leadership, John Maxwell is a really an authority and I follow him hard. I have
learnt a lot from Him and still learning.

The only Key to success is ....

I learnt something recently: 'Keep the Grace factor aside a bit' anyone irrespective of their beliefs, ideologies and religion, can succeed in anything (be it something they like or not), if they put their mind to it.

In the last three weeks, I have seen me just do it.... no matter how annoying or unpleasant or uninteresting it is. And every time I break through my limit just to get it done, I'm reminded that we have in us the innate ability and capacity to do and succeed at anything. We just have to want to bad enough. There's no limit.... The limitation you see is just in your head, if you can break out in your mind, and be willing to work your as* off to achieve your dreams, you would get there..
If only you are disciplined and determined enough.

........I have fallen in love again! plus #15for15challenge

'The title is #wash'.

One of the best nights I have had this year was on Friday, one of the reasons was I was alone in my room (which though I live alone is rare a thing these days, I always seem to have someone around), and so I had time, serenity and space to mediate, listen and feed my mind. I started the evening by going through a new set of spoken words I acquired and for the first time in soo long, I found myself deeply ministered to, it was like God led me to the particular videos I kept opening. As I listened to the words, my spirit soared, I found myself fall on my knees and cry out to God, thing is I have some things bothering my heart and I mention them to God now and again but as I watched those videos, I knew it was time to gracefully kneel and cry out and as I did, I found peace, I saw love, I felt warmth. And Just as I about to sleep I came across a video of Janette..ikz of P4CM, voila! She was married....

Fuel your passion.....Use your gifts!!! (15for15challenge)

A couple of weeks ago I was at Oleh in Delta State to deliver a training on Digital Marketing. While my team guys were setting sound and making sure the hall was ready, myself, and two other people went outside to set up our roll up - very tall banner.

For minutes on end, we kept struggling to set the banner up but every time we tried it fell back because none of us was tall enough to hold the tip. When I saw we were struggling too much, I called a very tall friend to come help us and in 10 seconds, the banner was up.


I was highly impressed. Not just he did it but because He (one person) did effortlessly what myself and two others had been battling with for minutes. At that very moment, the Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance "the easiness found when we work in line with what we are made for.'

First and Last post for the month of February... A Review #15for15challenge


I just realised today is the last day of the month of February and I haven't written anything for the blog this month. Mehn! *coversface in shame*..... guess my only excuse is that I'm too busy to sit and write, there's always that urgent thing to do especially because I work best (more like strive) at '11:59' (reason why writing mojo just finally popped up).


Sorry blogville, life has been crazy!


How has February been? Uhmm, in one word, I'd say crazy. Really, it's been crazy.

In this month, I ate more raw garri (no water, no sugar, no salt - nothing added) than I have ever eaten in my entire life.

I Had an Accident that broke my knee

I had a minor accident on Tuesday and since then I have been having problems walking, bathing and holding biro as I have injuries on my palm and on my knees.
The accident has put me in a reflective mood (you know, genius is born in time of depression, desperation or incapacitation...hehe). In the reflective mood, I learnt that I shouldn't kill myself for things that would go on with or without me. When you are dispensable, Act wisely and cautiously. Give your best but keep your sense.
This period has also enabled me redefine some relationships but the most important lesson of all is Your Sh** could be someone's roses.

15 for 15 challenge: My Schooling and it's components

Its 2am, I just finished making a 50 slide presentation for a training I have to deliver on Saturday. I still got a letter to type for my fellowship (Secretary General thingy) and a report to compile and send fellowship head office but unfortunately, laptop battery has died. I'm so pumped up that I'm wishing I didn't turn of my generator early and contemplating going outside to turn it back on. Lol!
In the last two weeks I have been a super lady, juggling between GSA responsibilities, Fellowship responsibilities and of cause Academics. Thankfully, Its been successful all round, well, not really as I had to miss classes on Tuesday because of fellowship work, miss classes on Wednesday because of Google work, dumped other thing for school work on thrusday whilst my right hand man (God bless you Gabriel) was doing errands for me.
One thing I learnt between tuesday and today was that in reality, I would sacrifice alot if I want to be effective all round but I have to remember to follow set priorities and make up for any lapses (especially class wise).
I have also learnt that in leadership, people management is the toughest task.
