Yes, indeed we have come to the end of Season 3 . . . woo-hoo! How do I feel? Hmm! You know that feeling when you start out with a task or project and you have held on through the ups and downs and kept pushing even when it didn’t feel as easy? But eventually in holding on and putting one foot in front of the other, you arrived at the finish line. That joy of wow! I made it . . . that's what I feel right now. And I have you to thank for keeping step, listening and engaging from season 1, 2 and now as we wrap-up with season 3.Thank you, thank you and thank you again. And with that I encourage us to hold on and keep faith because this too shall pass. And also because when you let go instead of holding on, you never get to see the finish line. Yes we may not have experienced the current situations we’re facing but we need to hold on a bit more because it will indeed pass, but while we wait and hold on, we need to do it right. So what’s the best way to ‘Hold On’? Listen Now…

Life Lessons Episode 38: Each One Reach One 6:00

5 years sitten6:00

In this episode, I want to encourage you to do whatever you can within your means and capacity to spread love, joy and cheer - by being a source of encouragement and support to at least one person. Each One Reach One simply means, each one of us reaching out to at least one person to check up on them in whatever capacity we can afford to, just to ensure that they are doing good. It could also mean each one of us who isn’t exactly feeling like they are in tip-top shape, reaching out to at least one person to say, hey! I am not quite sure I am feeling good. When we do this, we are creating a huge umbrella cover of care that ensures everyone is covered in one way or the other. The effect of this love and care umbrella has the strength to subdue the effect of the spread of fear, especially during this pandemic.…

Life Lessons Episode 37 - Stay Fearless 7:25

5 years sitten7:25

I am here to encourage faith and hope in us and also share tips to keep us going, amidst the constant unpleasant media releases that grace our phone and TV screens. We may have zero control over the news of new Covid-19 confirmed cases and deaths reeling out daily, but we can control how we choose to respond to them. Choosing to respond to fear and anxiety negatively impacts our physical and mental well being. It continually breaks us down and makes it difficult for us to function optimally and keep it going. So, I employ us to choose to stay fearless and engage in activities that boost positive energy.…

Life Lessons Episode 35- Productivity Brilliance 8:58

5 years sitten8:58

8:58

In simple terms, Productivity Brilliance is the light or radiance that you emit by being the best productive version of yourself. This means that showcasing the best productive version of yourself sparks brilliance. Another way of couching it could also be that; Productivity Brilliance is, ‘the intense presence, aura or fragrance a person exudes when they are their best productive self.’ Generally speaking, brilliance is intense brightness/light. I dare say, that it is incomplete to talk about brilliance of any sort, without categorically mentioning that there is an extra hint, touch or zest that being your highest productive self contributes to the quality of the sum total of who you are as a person. Permit me to say, therefore, that it is only when you are showcasing the best version of yourself possible, that you can categorically say you emit brilliance.…

Life Lessons Episode 34 - Rome Was Not Built In A Day 8:59

5 years sitten8:59

If Rome wasn’t built in a day, or babies are not conceived, fully formed and delivered in a day, why then are we always in a hurry, rush processes or cut corners with tasks and even prematurely execute projects as serious as our personal growth or development? We are constantly hurrying or cutting short processes and then end up with half-baked results that are barely able to stand the test of time. They have no growth patterns or processes that reflect how we progressed when ordinarily, our growth patterns should serve as a guide or case study that forms structured systems that we can always use as reference points. Unfortunately, that is rarely the case these days. Someone called it the two-minute noodles or microwave growth process and I couldn’t agree more. Another person completely took it to another level of concentrated pidgin English altogether . . . I will say it in its original form and then breakdown for the benefit of those who may not understand it. “No wuru-wuru to the answer, please show working” Lol! This imply means, “Do not cook up the answer or dabble your way into arriving at it, clearly show/state the steps you used to arrive at the answer. Does that make sense now? We tend to look for shortcuts and quick fixes forgetting that Rome was not built in a day. So what do we mean when we say, Rome was not built in a day?…

Our topic this week is, ‘Ready But Not Ready’. Are you wondering what that is all about? Well you know that familiar table yes? The one where we decide in our heads or minds that we are ready to make the very best of life and prepared to do whatever it takes to be the best versions of ourselves. Yet when the moment comes to actually put in the work, the drama begins. If for any reason you happen to be on this table that I am about to shake, I ask that you forgive me in advance, because - shake it I will. Hmm! If it breaks with you still on it and you land on the floor, dust yourself and get back up on your feet. Be determined to begin to act and put in the work, instead of looking for a similar table to get on. Lol! So straight up, there are usually two categories of people on this table in question.…

Today we will be sharing on something called, “The Impostor Syndrome” . Some of us may be familiar with it and others, maybe not. We spoke about it extensively in Episode 25 but from the angle of “When Life Doesn’t Measure Up”. It would help to listen to it. I am very familiar with this syndrome because I have been there myself and can tell you for free that it’s a real threat and hindrance to productivity. The Impostor Syndrome is a serious deterrent to becoming the best productive version of yourself. So what is this Impostor Syndrome all about, what does it really mean?…

Life Lessons Podcast: Episode 31 - The Best Version of Yourself 9:23

5 years sitten9:23

9:23

Welcome to this week’s episode of the Life Lessons podcast. Our discussion today is tagged, ‘The Best Version of Yourself’ Being the best version of yourself means consistently being the best you can be at every point in time. by constantly raising the bar for yourself to ensure improvement every step of the way. Being the best version of yourself is a lifestyle and not a destination that you arrive at. As a lifestyle, it requires that you make progress daily as against rushing to arrive there and then stay stagnant. We must be careful not to mistake being the best version of ourselves with trying to look like someone else we envy or admire or someone who is trending so that we too can trend. Our world today has mastered the act of copying so well that we are fast losing our unique individuality.…

Life Lessons Episode 30: Put In The Work 8:44

5 years sitten8:44

I was recently having one of those ‘table-shaking’ conversations with a friend, where we both came to the conclusion that one of the few things that cannot be contracted out and has no shortcuts is ‘Physical Fitness’. With weight loss there are countless shortcut or quick fix options ranging from paying to go under the knife or liposuction, etc But with physical fitness, mba nunu, meaning ‘not at all’ YOU MUST PUT IN THE WORK, there’s absolutely no other way to be physically fit. You must engage in physical fitness activities and break a sweat. As human beings, we have successfully crafted and mastered the act of finding shortcuts to practically everything, except this one though. With physical fitness you literally can’t. You can pay someone to coach you but they cannot do it for you, you have to Put In The Work yourself. This reminds me of my instagram post a few weeks back and a similar scenario I have observed time and again. That scenario where we pay for coaching or strategy sessions and expect things to miraculously change without putting in the work.…

Life Lessons Episode 29: Character Building Versus Bad Day 9:01

This week let me start by asking you this very simple but mind-boggling question; How do you handle those really challenging days or situations in your life? Let’s attempt to answer truthfully without sugar-coating it. After all this is a personal soul-searching moment, none of us can hear your thought process except you. Because I have learned that it’s easier to find solutions to our problems or challenges when we are honest and sincere with ourselves, I will be generous with my vulnerability and share my answer with you. I was worse than you could ever imagine, a while back. But I assure you that it’s getting better now. I have not arrived but I am not where I used to be at all. I am still learning and improving daily as I journey through life. With hindsight, with growth and maturity, I am learning to handle my melting points differently and better. Cresta before was such an expert worrywart and a consistent complainant. What has changed? Well, come with me. . .…

Life Lesson Episode 28: The Productivity Posture 8:59

5 years sitten8:59

8:59

This week we will be sharing on the ‘The Productivity Posture’ and for the very first time, I will be sharing with you my personal (tried and tested) Productivity Gain Formula and how I arrived at it. It’s so funny that I am not a fan of mathematics at all, but through my personal productivity journey I have come up with a formula that I have tried and tested on myself over and over again. Posture is the way you hold your body when you sit or stand or a particular approach or attitude. For the purpose of this discussion, let’s work with the definition that has to do with ‘attitude’. In the world of productivity, POSTURE in very simple terms is your perception, your mindset or your attitude towards productivity. It majorly refers to the way you perceive or receive productivity. Your attitude or posture towards productivity clearly defines and determines your ability to be productive, in the long run. If your Productivity Posture, stance or view is poor, negative or unhealthy, chances are that on a regular basis you will end up with poor unproductive results. On the other hand, if you have a positive or healthy posture/attitude towards productivity, then your results will more often than not, leave you with a bountiful productive harvest. Therefore your Productivity Posture is key and truly crucial to your productivity output. Permit me to henceforth make the conclusion that we absolutely CANNOT be our best productive selves if our attitude or posture towards productivity is found wanting.…

Life Lessons Episode 27: A New Productive Beginning 7:56

5 years sitten7:56

7:56

I warmly welcome you to the start of Season 3 of our Life Lessons Podcast. Today we will be cheering in A New Productive Beginning. With the new comes a certain excitement, a fresh burst of energy and a zest of hope. It is always a good place to start. Cleanout what has happened in the past, bring out a brand new slate, open a brand new page and start afresh to push and build. I don’t know about you but this year, I intentionally decided to leave behind my mistakes, the woes of my shortfalls and failures and to start anew to push and to build. Now don’t let it surprise you, we all fail every now and again. I know that sometimes it seems all so easy because people tend to put up a front, pretending it’s success all the way. In fact, to be particularly honest and vulnerable with you, I can tell you for free that even though I had a lot of high points in the past year, there were also melting points for me. One of those particular melting points got me breaking down in tears instantly. I am so thankful for accountability partners, family and close friends who were there to offer strong support, that helped me get back up again. Remember Episode 22 of the Life Lessons Podcast? “Do Not Walk Alone”... You can listen to it again, it accurately captures the point. Being a perfectionist, the weight and shame of failing always have a way of getting me down, it could be so bad sometimes that I would remain rooted, wallowing in self-pity. But hey! That was then, I have learned to do failure differently. I encourage you to also not fall into the same trap. If you want to start anew and want to be productive, you CANNOT afford to hold on to failures and mistakes of the past, you need to let them go. Our failures and shortfalls have a way of blinding or blurring our views for a better and hopeful new beginning. They get you feeling weighed down and sometimes act as a barrier that won’t let you see beyond a certain level.…

Welcome to the final episode of season 2 of the Life Lessons podcast. Wow! Even I can’t believe that we have done 26 whole episodes, kudos to us all. Yes! We did it together, thank you for listening, sharing with friends and commenting with your personal opinions and experiences. Thank you! Thank you!! and Thank you!!! Again. You are greatly appreciated. Yes! we wrap up on season 2 but I am not leaving you empty-handed. I bring you an amazing companion, to keep you plugged-in through the festive season and holiday merriment. I present to you the ‘Productivity 10 To Go’ Life Lessons Christmas bundle. It’s a simple ‘Plug & Play’ specially curated bundle, containing our 10 best episodes of the Life Lessons Podcast. Something to keep you on track during the holidays and keep you razor-sharp as you emerge in the new year. Gift yourself and others you love, this amazing Productivity Gift Pack. Today on our Life Lessons podcast, I am bringing you a charge and an encouragement to ‘KEEP STEP’ Keep Step simply means, keep walking, keep marching, keep going etc. The bottom line is that you cannot afford to get distracted, derailed or fall out of line or off the wagon, you have to keep going. The holiday season, particularly Christmas is one to pay keen attention to, especially as a productive person. It particularly coincides with the end of the year and the start of a new year, which means loads of parties (parte after parte), get togethers, loads of eating, drinking and plenty jubilation. It’s so easy to get carried away and totally down tools.…

It’s another amazing week on the Life Lessons podcast and I am truly glad to be sharing with you. Today we will be figuring out what to do WHEN LIFE just DOESN’T seem to MEASURE UP! Not measuring up simply means not meeting up to certain standards. Whether standards set up by oneself, or by other people’s standards. SIGNS OF UNHEALTHY MEASUREMENTS You don’t feel qualified enough You tend to shy away from people’s compliments You downplay your accomplishments You struggle with putting yourself out there when you have a dream This doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you. It just means that these signs/symptoms are not problems in themselves, they are pointers to the fact that there is a root cause that needs to be addressed. As usual, we can choose to look for the easiest way out or the quick-fix methods, which simply means addressing the symptoms, which can easily be achieved by doing the exact opposite of the symptoms listed above.…
