“What’s the challenge with the high staff turnover?” I asked. “I had to make some radical changes,” the CEO remarked. We were having a discussion on the challenges experienced in implementing the current strategy plan which is almost coming to end. One of the things I noted was that about 60% of the team leaders […]

“Another day has gone, no gifts, no message, no day out just more bills to pay” Said one of the many comments at the end of 19th Nov, the international men’s day. I actually did not make anything much out of these comments. It was more of humor than sentiments. However, a week later I […]

“Have you always felt this way” I asked after a long discussion on her ‘feeling stuck’ “I used to be very confident, I had a lot going on but I don’t know what happened.” She said. When did the self-doubt start? I asked “When I got married, I think I got comfortable.” She said “Does […]

“Why are you looking bored all of a sudden?” The colleague asked. “Is there something wrong with the way am doing this hair?” She asked in return. The conversation caught my attention.

“Are you genuinely loved or are you loved because of what you have?” Have you come across this statement somewhere? I have seen it pretty often on social media. Every time I see it am baffled by the ignorance demonstrated in that statement. Truth be told nobody is loved for nothing and nobody just loves. […]

“There are two memorable people in life” My father said. “Those who will catapult you to greater heights and those that can stagnate you or bring you down” He continued “You have to be careful who you deal with and how you deal with them.” I have a lot of lessons from my father but […]

“Every time we try to address an issue, she goes on and on. It is more of ranting. I let it go but then we cannot seem to get a solution to anything” He said. Does this sound familiar. An acquaintance mentioned this in one of our coaching discovery sessions. He was questioning his ability […]

Last week I came across a hilarious statement somewhere on social media, “Do not take marriage advice from African women; it’s always about perseverance and prayer” It actually sounds better in Swahili “Ndoa ni kuvumilia na maombi” I actually laughed about it. But come to think of it, why does it sound so true, like […]
