IMPACT LEADERS HUB

 Part 1: The Foundation of Personal Leadership   Welcome to our series on Building Personal Leadership! True leadership starts from within. John C. Maxwell's had this to say about leadership- "Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge." To take care of those in your charge, you need to have the capacity to understand their unique needs and challenges. You need to be steps ahead of them to understand their fears, worries, concerns and thereby provide relevant answers to their questions. Leaders who exert impact in the life of others are leaders who lead from personal experiences and who first invest in personal leadership. You can not give what you don’t have. If you attempt to do so, you will only feed them theories and leave them clueless on how to practice them. People stick to leaders who are masters at leading themselves. Hence, in your leadership journey, the best place to start is PERSONAL LEADERSHIP. ...

Let's Talk About Limiting Beliefs! So through the weekend, I had a power-packed online conference I attended that repositioned my life and I'm sure many of us here also attended that summit - Headstart Summit. One of the Major takeaways I had from that summit was - Destroy Limiting Beliefs. While I paid close attention to the 17 different power speakers of that conference, from Disruptor Ubong King, to Disruptive Creator Kunle Soriyan. I discovered that significant progress in life is bounded (Permitted and Restricted) by our belief system. No matter your business or professional inclination, you are at the mercy of your mind. In fact, your business goals, financial projections, leadership goals, management targets are as big as your minds eyes can see. So if it's about the mind, you can understand why it's about our belief system right? Because  our mind is the headquarters of our beliefs. It not only processes those thoughts, it also decide to what extent you can even...

Dear friend, I know you desire all the success you can get out of this life. You see those who have had a level of success and you admire them, you want to be like the. And sometimes, you ask if this is ever going to be possible. It is not an impossible dream, it is attainable, very attainable. But you need to travel the path of excellence, they traveled. It takes commitment to start, it takes consistency to finish. The trouble most times is you get started but lose when it  comes to consistency. Excellence is a habit you need to imbibe and develop and it comes through consistency. Somewhere, I read that when you fail to execute a daily habit for one day, it reduces the odds of retaining that habit by 5%. Failing to execute a habit 2 days in a row, reduce the odds of retaining that habit by 55%! Yes, 55%! Miss more than 2 days and you can kiss your new habit goodbye. Therefore, never miss doing the minimum daily requirement for 2 days in a row. If you miss one day, make it a priori...

There's a way that seemeth right unto a 21st-century youth. (Contd) She was really pissed off by asking for recharge card money from her petty-trader mum and felt the best bet was to seek from the guy down the street. * She could have helped mum sell and get some share plus effrontery to make her request, or better still learn a skill or help mum get more customers online... But she felt her beauty could pay without such stress. * The success of the first episodes usually blinds the eyes to the reality of the looming consequences. She counted her mint Mayra notes with shoulders high, hailing her bravery and applauding her courage. "Use what you have to get what you want" became her slogan. * The Second escapade got more cash but... * The pressure from friends appeared so much that his No sounded like evidence of cowardness. From a sip to a single gulp, then a bottle was no longer enough. * He was sure it was a wrong habit, but the glory and cheerings from his friends gave...

There is a way that seems right unto a 21st-century youth. It's a way that massages his ego, dignifies her beauty, and satisfies their longing to belong. At the junction lies two sound systems. One gives old fashioned advice on moderation, the other an active lively appeal to youthful exuberance. I'm scared of their choices. Not because I've lived through the lens of both adverts, but because I've learned from the mistakes of many, whose tears forever flow. Just beyond the junction are a kiosk painted pepper red, cockroach brown, and mango green. It's own by an influencer whose products appeal so much... He has a spicy flavor of old fashioned rightness, but his works are laddened with the justified abnormalities coated to seduce the mind for possession. I got perturbed when she gave a loud cry. Just after that came the sobbing of a male voice? What could have gone wrong I pondered....? To be continued...

Good Day Amazing Leaders. I trust we are doing good amidst the challenges! We are in a very defining moment of human history. In such a time when the world is having several lockdowns from our normal lifestyles and all we count as default. A point where we wonder at the possibility of adhereing to unconventional instructions,  all towards a sincere effort to safe our lives. COVID-19 has indeed taught us that we can do without many things we attached "constant" figure to in this life. Truth is,  if we must make the best out of this isolation period of history,  we must embrace the virtual realities that have been created to compliment physical experiences. And more importantly,  we must relish in the lessons this reality teaches us about the true longings of humanity. It's a time to deepen the learning process and pick up those skills that you've envied having,  but have been always robbed of, by your core stifling capitalist working environment or en...

The brain is the number one evidence and epitome of gabbage in gabbage out. I have heard some people say "Oh if I read this for a long time, my brain will explode. Lol, sweetheart that is super untrue.  Research has it that, only 2% of the human brain has been used 98% remains mostly  unused, so there ain't an explosion that comes from maximizing the brains capacity. Our brain weighs 1.4 kilogram and suprisingly has 14 billion nerve cells, so it has the ability to contain large stock of information, larger that has ever been stuffed into anyone's brain.  A great research was made by some neurosurgeons in their bid to understand the capacity of the human brain. This research was carried out with two categories of brains which were : The brain of a freshly dead professor and that of an illiterate who left his brain dormant. It took pretty time to do this great comparism and GUESS WHAT!!!🤩🤭😌😁😁😁 There  was no difference between the brains when compared...

Dear friend, Every story you hear from someone about someone else have these 3 sides to it. The truth of the teller, the truth from the third-party and the Real Truth! Until you understand this,  you may always lose value,  worsen relationships, or make wrong decisions that will affect your sense of judgment. It's true we live in a world of relationships,  times when we get closely attached to some persons than the other. We live in a dispensation where we seem to be positively biased towards people who matter so much to us.  Yet we must learn to go the extra-mile of hearing ALL the sides to a story before making decisions, drawing conclusions, or placing judgments. Tosin complained bitterly about how insensitive and cruel Dayo has always been towards her recently to her Mother. She sobbed so hard and was explicit in her description of various times when she had been embarrassed by his actions. Being the only daughter of Mrs. Ade, her mother got quite f...

Living in a century with varying opinions, societal perceptions,  negligible level of interest in international relations,  and a moderately conscious youth class, the succession of the UN becomes of imperative concern. In a bid to address this, the UN decided to throw it's informative, and resource driven weight to the organization of Model United Nations around the world. Between 21st - 23rd of June 2018, The Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife in conjunction with the United Nations Information Center (UNIC)  in Nigeria,  organized the first IFE Model United Nations Conference. This was one of the numerous MUN conferences that gather over 400,000 delegates in general every year. This conference had a delegate-count of about 250 Nigeria, Cameroon and South African delegates in attendance. 5 committees were simulated including the Security Council. The Secretary General of the UN, Mr. Antonio Guterres was represented by the National Information Officer of UNIC, ...

Which generation do you belong to? What’s peculiar about your generation?   With the trends of your generation, how much can you vouch for a better next generation? How passionate are you about giving your kids a world worth living in? What efforts are you making in ensuring the next generation celebrate memories of your lifetime? These are the questions that run through my mind from time to time, and I think you also need to consider them as important if you see life from the perspective of Making A Difference. Welcome to a technology age where the speed of communication has been geometrically improved, while deepened the gap of genuine human interaction with real feelings. Welcome to an age where kids are succinctly educated about the historic significance of memorial dates, without being taught the priority of forgiveness beyond painful past. An age where immorality is being justified with an excuse of self-actualization, body autonomy, and liberalis...
