It is common knowledge that all of us are born with capacity to move forward. It is also true that none of us is born static and all of have are abled with capability. But how do we do this

What do you do to ensure that you are moving forward?  Everyone gets into a situation where they feel stuck sometimes! Even those really successful people who might initially look like they have it all, struggle with this.  When those feelings strike and you find yourself flat, unmotivated, and despondent about what you’re trying to achieve, it can be really tough to move forward.

It is one thing to imagine is one thing but it takes grit to make it happen. Reality is our desire to achieve what we desire whether they be goals, targets, success and much more. What is it that we must do to actualize our reality?

The common denominator is that everyone wants a good life. But, its upon you to guard your heart so that not every negative attention penetrates you leading to depression. When individuals are stressed they loose their capability to focus. But when the mind is stable, we are able to achieve great results. There is power in focus, which scatters results as a result of a split mind.

Organizations have more to fear or to be concerned about where there is a lack of quality customer service. This is key to the organization compared to what is offered to the external customer. But who are the recipients of internal customer service? In most organizations these constitute of the staff, associates, and close stakeholders including suppliers and donors to the organization.

When I think of mentality, I think of a quote by Pat Riley who said, “If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.”  Basically, a healthy mindset can help you achieve remarkable things.  Here are a number of mentalities that limit us in achieving our goals and aspirations.

We rise early to fulfill a certain goal which is attached to results.  This is important to move from where we are to the next level through multiplication.   How do you achieve this?

It is said that passion is only ingredient that enables you to do what you love to do excellently. Over and over it has been proven that little if nothing, you can achieve if passion is not a part of what you do. So where can we apply and embrace passion in our daily lives?

To flourish means to thrive, to grow well, to prosper, to farewell, to develop or to progress. There is a direct correlation between flourishing and getting tangible results.

Amidst the chill and greying medley of the early morning, I led my team of staff from the Optiven Group Foundation to the Kamiti Maximum Security Prison. Not that any of us were going behind bars for a wrong doing but to reach out as is the clarion call of the foundation, “Eyes on the Community”.

We have had an opportunity to discuss the topic of flourishing and its connection to favor.   While it is readily available to all, favour however comes with responsibility in order to flourish.  This responsibility calls of diligence as is the case when we sow and harvest.   The analogy here is that if one does not plant by taking action especially at the right time, then they have nothing to harvest.  So then how can we tap into favour in order to flourish?

The month of August is a significant time to look back at our achievements and look forward to seeing the goals we set come to flourish. The month itself was so named in honor of Augustus the great around 18BC. Well now that we are face to face with the last quarter of 2021, it’s time to use the available raw materials to survive.

We all have performance targets and many times we find that we do not achieve them. However, there are those among us who are almost always on target. So how can we push past your limits? We look at some of the ways we put limits on ourselves.

From my experience from way back in my university days, I can say confidently that mentorship of young leaders is the best strategy towards a successful future. My contribution during the Emerge Young Leaders Summit on 15th July 2021 was a privilege as I mentored young leaders from various universities across Kenya.

Why is it important to be extraordinary when a majority are doing just fine being ordinary? When a staff member fulfils their job description to the fullstop without taking any other duty, probably because that is ‘someone elses job’, then they are being extremely ordinary.
