A taste of Mentoring

So last weekend I was at Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State Nigeria to be part of the activities at the Department of Theatre and Media Arts. Part of my responsibilities involved mentoring the students on how to be an Entrepreneur other than an Employee. I was also required to share with them some of my life experiences as a Theatre/Media Artiste. 

So I sat down to write out what I’d share with them. And I thought I should have it here so that more persons can have access. Behold the paper:

2017: My Successes, failures, and lessons

Every year, at this time, my mind starts to drift — to what I’ve done in the past year and what the New Year’s going to look like — and I realise just how crazy the past year has been. There’s been highs, lows, challenges, and adventures, and everything in between, and when you add them all together, this has been the biggest year of my life.

A lot of things happened in 2017 but most significantly, I bagged my PhD…what more can I say? It was a great year and I am entirely grateful.

Here’s how it all started:

January I was in the lowest low of my life. I was down emotionally and physically. The experience was disheartening.

Holding Out When You’re Broken

Mark Nepo explores the ways we can put the pieces back together.

Though no one likes it, each of us will find ourselves broken at some point in our journey. When we find ourselves there, what do we do? I’ve been broken many times—through illness, through the loss of a job, through the derailment of a dream and most recently, through the death of my father. For all of this, I can offer a mysterious truth that life has given me: that we are stronger, gentler, more resilient and more beautiful than we imagine, and that the resource we call life is never far away.

Does The Journey Ever End?

If we are on the path of success, outstanding success, I mean being relevant and making a difference in this world as well as generations yet to come it means we will always be asking ourselves at frequent intervals in our journey: “When will this all be over? When will this journey end?”

It’s a good question! The fact that we are asking that question means we are unto something very important. It’s only natural to worry about when it’ll be over but the unfortunate part of the question is not the question itself, but the answer.

Gratefully Grateful

This period has been filled with a lot of activities...I always reflect...Transformation...A new life...Everything changed...So I wonder again...All these as a result of just one decision, one step taken...

Every moment of every hour of everyday am filled with gratitude. And this month I was at my twin sister's twice...awesome. Will give anything on earth to be with her. Please meet Vivien Ekamah..

Been enjoying the newness of everything. Now I want to take even more steps as every new step brings even more steps to take and more opportunities.

So today I went to school, from school, visited Evelyn, my sister from another mother, went for marketing, got some sales, had three meetings then came home. Somehow I missed my blog, I missed you guys hence I decided to visit.

This is just me saying hello....anddddd I promise to keep in touch coz I've really missed you guys.

Stay Beautiful During Stressful Times

         


 I believe that being prepared for all the things that might come your way really relieves stress, keeps you calm and gives you a confident feeling. And you need that confidence to put your best foot forward (like the catwalk). Maybe you can use some of these simple tips to be prepared and calm when you have a stressful time coming up. Finding peace and being relaxed during busy times are the right feelings on the path of success.


Sleep is very important to a healthy lifestyle, but what if you have a few weeks coming up when your schedule just does not give you enough time to rest? Most people have weeks when they are likely to get stressed out. Are there other things you can do to take care of yourself when getting enough sleep is not an option? My secret is to be as “Organized” as possible. Be organized and bring the right things with you. I think when you go somewhere, whether it is an event or a long trip, what you bring in your bag is quite important. Nothing is as annoying as being hungry, cold, tired or stressed out, and not having anything to take care of it right then and there. You don’t have to bring three suitcases, but in your purse or travel bag you can bring a few things that can come in very handy while rushing around.
