Personal Keynotes From Excellence in Leadership Conference 2019

John Cage said, "We only hear what we listen for" and I totally agree. I attended the Excellent Leadership Conference today to listen to what I needed to hear.

This is me sharing what I heard with you. May something shift inside of you as you read. Amen.

Notes From ELC2019

First of all, I heard about the Excellence in Leadership Conference via one of my favourite WhatsApp groups. The group admin invited us (more like motivated us) to attend ELC2019 as part of our capacity building activities. Who wouldn't want to hear from this line-up of speakers? I just had to. So glad I did!

ELC2019 themed 'Great Leadership' is a two-day conference hosted by Daystar Christian Centre which started today and is to end tomorrow. The speakers slotted for today were; Rev. Sam Adeyemi, Pst. Nike Adeyemi, Dr. Joe Abah and Ali Baba.

Now let me share what I reflectively gleaned from each speaker. . .

Diary: I Am Too Tired To Write Today

Hi. I am so so sorry for not putting up a post on PYH Series yesterday. Forgive me, please. I had an extremely busy weekend. By Sunday night, honestly, blogging was the last thing on my mind.

So, instead of writing in my diary, my diary was writing to me. Lol.

How To Write When You’re Too Tired

Hey!

What is the problem?

If you’re telling yourself that you’re too busy to write, then you really have to take a deeper look at what’s really going on in your life.

My Temptation To React To The Trump

You may wonder what concerns me with America and her Election. Lol. What would a lady do when her brother is a political scientist and her father is a Nigerian businessman, an Igbo, for that matter?

Nigerians React

Yesterday morning after our family devotion, dad switched on the TV to CNN. He's been following the news from day 1. As usual, I wasn't interested, so I went back to my little cozy room.

Are You Employed Or Being Exploited?

You leave work feeling tired, frustrated, and angry. During the long ride home and in traffic, you ask yourself, “Am I being exploited?”

Stop Expoitation

As it is popularly stated: one man's meat is another man's poison. That is the case exactly.

Exploitation is subjective. What one person thinks of as slavery/labour is another person’s chance of gaining valuable experience or putting food on the table.

BOOK: The Leadership Challenge By James Kouzes & Barry Posner

In my opinion, this book is a bible of leardership. I am looking for a means to get a copy for myself. The one I'm holding isn't mine. (Even though I'm silently hoping Ayo, my friend would ask me to keep it).

The Leadership Challenge

I borrowed this book to read but I am prompted to share my thoughts on it and to recommend it. 

BOOK REVIEW: 'My Vision' By Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoun

You know how important reading is, right?

I'm considering writing a book review bi-weekly, so that I can pick up the habit of reading and finishing one book per week again. Hmm . . .

'My Vision' Written By Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoun

It is better to capitalize on your strengths and not your weaknesses. I don't know how to review make-up or restaurants, but I do know how to review a book. It's a gift I shouldn't take for granted.
