I thought I was ready to build, plans approved, bricks delivered, confidence high. Then all my materials vanished into the foundation, and I learned an important life lesson, every great thing costs more than you expect.

The Power Of A Timely Thank You.
I was scrolling on LinkedIn earlier this week when a connection of mine reacted to a post about her former colleague who had passed away. Suddenly, my timeline was flooded with tributes, testimonies, and stories about how kind this man was. Every time someone shared a post, my connection reacted, and thanks to the algorithm,ContinueContinue reading “The Power Of A Timely Thank You.”
I did it, afraid!
Courage doesn’t come before the leap!
My Q1 in the rearview mirror
Whilst we can not dictate global events, we can focus on those things that are within our control, such as our mindsets, our choices, and our actions. The end of Q1 is a great opportunity to reflect on what we can influence.
Faith demands action!
This post is a few days late because i was traveling. Now that I am back, the normal posting schedule will continue. 2025 is going by very fast… at least for me, it is. So, let’s talk about the goals that you set when you were excited about the new year in January and theContinueContinue reading “Faith demands action!”
Trying to bloom “wherever” you are planted?
If a plant isn’t thriving, a good gardener doesn’t yell at it to “be stronger,” they do their best to make sure the conditions are ideal for the plant to grow. People are no different.
Why working women need a tribe (and how to build one)
And just like that, January 2025 has ended! It’s as if you blink and the month is over. I am not going to ask if you are still on track with your goals 😃. January was a wild juggling act for me. For the first time in twelve years, we no longer have a live-inContinueContinue reading “Why working women need a tribe (and how to build one)”
Do you really need to study for an MBA in 2025? Weighing the pros and cons
If I had invested the ~$10 000 that I paid in tuition fees for my MBA in Tesla’s initial IPO in June 2010, i would have bought approximately 588 shares at $17 per share. Tesla has since undergone 2 stock splits. 5 for 1 in August 2020 and 3 for 1 in August 2022. These splits would have increased my share count to around 8 823. As of today, 25 January 2025, the Tesla share is ~$406 per share. An investment of $10 000 would be valued at $3 582 352,94! Obviously, this is a very simplified calculation that does not include transaction costs, potential dividends, and taxes, but I am sure you get the idea.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t regret studying for my MBA when I did. As someone who mentors many young professionals, I believe it’s important to present both sides of the argument.

Rewrite your default settings…
Between work deadlines and family obligations, it often feels like you are stretched too thin with no breathing room. But what if the issue isn’t your to-do list but the default settings you have been operating on?
Grateful
It’s Thanksgiving weekend in America. I find having a whole day set aside to reflect on the blessings experienced throughout the year and acknowledging them gratefully really meaningful. My encouragement to you today is to find time to reflect and count your blessings one by one. I also understand those who feel like they haveContinueContinue reading “Grateful”
Tomorrow…
We don’t win every day. Some days humble us and remind us we are human. And when we don’t make it, we need to dig deeper and give it another try, …tomorrow. Tomorrow is an open door we walk through every morning, despite the failures of the day before. All that is required from us is to show up, ready to try again.
The stories we tell ourselves…
Your internal dialogue is more than just fleeting thoughts. It shapes your actions, your beliefs, and ultimately your destiny. Being aware of your thoughts, identifying those that limit you, and rewriting them to align with your desired future will help you transform your life.
Navigating Career Transitions Successfully

The Titles I Love to Carry
The world needs more of our authentic selves and less of the pre-packaged “work version”, elevator pitch ready we think everyone wants to see. So, who are you outside your job title and who you work for?
The Working Mother Juggling Act!
Just because I am a mother, it doesn’t mean i have given up on my own dreams and aspirations.
Yet To Be Answered Prayers
Don’t let the end of a calendar year discourage you regarding your still to be answered prayers. What seems like a delay is often a divine setup. Your prayers are not forgotten, and the God who sees every tear and hears every whisper is still writing your story. Rest assured that His timing is always right. Keep believing, keep praying, and keep expecting—God is still at work.
Stop And Smell The Roses
Ladies, let’s talk. When was the last time you stopped and did nothing? And no, quickly scrolling through your phone doesn’t count. I mean, actually pause and be in the moment. Between juggling a career, a family, fitness goals, and a social life, it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of life. IContinueContinue reading “Stop And Smell The Roses”
Shifting Gears: Why Your Career Deserves More Than First Gear
Imagine driving a manual car and staying stuck in first gear. The car would strain and you’d barely pick up speed. Now, think about your career the same way. If you’ve been stuck in the same routine, doing the same things day in and day out, it’s like you’re driving in first gear, not gaining speed, straining and missing out on the full potential of the road ahead. I doubt that is what you want for your career. It’s time to shift gears!
