    Employee Training

    Every business venture, entity or organisation has a constant, they interface with customers or consumers of their product and/or service. This ranges from at least one person (the base minimum), to thousands, millions, and billions of people. With this is a potential or a pitfall. Word of mouth is a form of ad that is quite unique at least in the sense that its hard to recall because it wasn't necessarily deliberately started by the organisation. It's usually more at the discretion of the consumer. This also means that employees (who are points of contact) play a huge role in the perception that consumers of a product and/or service have. Its become imperative to train employees very regularly. I also see this episode as a call to be proactive on the part of the employee. You don't have to wait for your employer because of at least one thing, its your career & whatever you learn is your gain. Enjoy this episode!🙂

    Making Decisions

    The story embedded in this episode is one that is instructive. Let's make use of our imaginations. You have children playing on 2 different tracks. Many of them are on a used track. A lone child is playing on an unused track. You have the choice of saving just "one set," either the ones on the used track or the lone child on the unused track. The tracks in question are used by trains. What decision would you make? In a world that we hear of scandals that surface years after, its safe to say that consequences are key in decision making. As long as humans live, we will always have to make decisions. This episode offers some insight into how to make decisions and live with the consequences. I believe you will enjoy it🙂

    Abraham Lincoln

    You know, I literally felt goosebumps while working on this. This is perhaps one of the most discouraging and depressing stories about an individual that I have ever come across. It's the story of a man widely regarded as one of the very best presidents to have ever taken office in the United States of America. Folks in Illinois will probably feel that sense of closeness than any other state in the US. It's the story of Abraham Lincoln. At some point, while I was reeling off the failures Lincoln experienced, I felt if he wanted to give up, I doubt anyone would have accused him of not trying enough. But that's the thing, giving up should not even be an option. I am sure you'd like this, why not dive in. Enjoy it!😊

    Customer Relations

    In as much as this episode comes from an angle of focus on businesses, ventures and organisations, I strongly believe that it applies to pretty much everyone as we interact with people on a regular basis. This is true, even if you don't have intentions of running a "business." For business owners (and indeed everyone), its important to know that the folks we'd have to deal with in the form of customers are sentimental people. Most make decisions based on how you have "made them feel." That is what this episode deals with. Enjoy listening to it😊

    Time

    This is the one resource that everyone has in equal measure. We hear ourselves & others say "I don't have time." Lucius Annaeus Seneca, a Stoic philosopher of Ancient Rome said "We fail to treat time as a valuable resource, even though it is arguably our most precious & least renewable one." And that last part is the key, any moment in time lost, is gone. It's a different thing to opportunities (which is some good news, as opportunities can present themselves time and again). There can never be an exact moment you are listening to this ever again, even though you can listen to this some other time, again and again. I believe you get the idea. You'd find this insightful. Enjoy it.

    Forgiveness

    I'd get straight to it. This is quite an emotional episode but I also find it very important to deal with. We all get wronged from time to time & how we deal with them individually differ. Its quite easy to bring up some sort of scale of the "weightiness of the wrong" people have gone through & then say an individual's case is better than another's. It's up to each individual to decide & deal with their own case. What can't be denied however, is the statement made by Lewis Benedictus Smedes. It goes "to forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you." If we will live a free and full life, we must (as seemingly impossible as it sounds) forgive. Listen to this episode to learn more. Thanks for being patient with my somewhat inconsistency in sending out new episodes. I can hear someone saying "I forgive you😆. I'd take that😊. I have something fitting from Adele. Enjoy & Cheers.

    Margaret Ekpo

    Folks, e don tey!😆 (its been a while!) I know & I apologise 🙏🏻. My luggage got stolen at some point & the hard drive where I have all my recordings was in there. I am yet to recover the luggage. Sadly, any evidence that will help the police identify the culprit(s) has not been successful. The company that runs the CCTV of where the event happened have just not given the police what they need. Please pray I make a headway as I contemplate the next line of actions. In today's world, advocacy for women has been on the rise like never before & rightly so. As I release this, just a few weeks ago, the world went into a meltdown over the conduct of the president (well, now former) of the Spanish FA involving a female footballer for the senior national team. This episode is about a Nigerian female activist from the Southern part of Nigeria. Her works & reputation led to major wins as regards the emancipation of Nigerian women from the 1950's. Her name, Margaret Ekpo. But how did it all begin for the heroine & how did she etch her name in the history books? Find out in this episode. It feels good to connect with you again. Enjoy every bit of this.😊

    Mother Teresa

    At certain times of the year, seems like certain attributes & qualities get more amplified than some others. For the season of Christmas for instance, the theme of love gets amplified more than ever & in some regions more than others [I am experiencing this firsthand now! 🤩] In the UK, the buzz of Christmas begins mid-November [Very early, right? I know!] Many regard Mother Teresa as one of those who exemplified the attribute of love more. One of her popular sayings is "Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things we great love." I agree a great deal with the second part of Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu's quote (Mother Teresa at birth was christened Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu😁) You'd enjoy every part of this. Rudimental & James Arthur give us a treat with Sun Comes Up.
