Last week, I was invited to talk with 10-11 year old boys of Corona School, Victoria Island on hygiene, peer pressure and dealing with the opposite s*x. These young men are about to embark on the next phase of their lives – secondary school 💥✅

It was a fun and interesting engagement in which I shared two of my personal stories around peer when I was 10 years old and 16 years respectively.

Surprisingly, one of the boys asked me why I didn’t learn any lesson from my experience at 10 years. And another asked me, “So, when you caught your friends doing something wrong, did you report them?” These boys “nogreeforme”

At the end of the talk, I shared 6 ‘personal mantras’ with them and asked them to pick the one that resonates with them, share it with their parents and keep it close to their heart throughout secondary school. Interestingly, most of them picked, “I will focus on progress not perfection”, followed by “I always do my best” and “I learn from my mistakes”

Here’s wishing them safe adventures, resilience and success!

From October 2023 to February 2024, I facilitated a Self-Leadership program for 65 analysts/banking officers at FBN Quest. We covered several topics including Problem Solving, Feedback & Assertiveness, Advanced Communication Skills, Emotional Intelligence and Influencing Skills.

It’s been an amazing, engaging and mutually rewarding journey. I’m honoured by the raving feedback and stories of how some have practically applied what we taught at work and at home.

Blessed am I amongst IT gurus, digital specialists and senior compliance managers. I’m speaking today at the ISACA conference at Oriental Hotel on ‘Empathy in a Digital World’. I shall not be oppressed, I’ll also give them some technical acronyms, my name is Akanimo, I’m a JRE (japa replacement expert) and I’m an IPT (indelible and practical trainer) and a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) 🤣😂👍🏾✅

As a bearded millennial 😎, I am grateful to God for life. For opportunities to grow, make mistakes & learn, contribute to society and impact others through teaching, coaching and counselling. I never thought of myself as an entrepreneur or resilient person - but Nigeria happened to me 😉. And I’m grateful for a loving family, dependable friends, supportive partners and committed customers

Last week, I accepted to be the Master of Ceremonies for the Lagos Business School Alumni Day. I facilitate indelible training and exciting team building sessions regularly but still had village butterflies for this ‘new’ area - “What if I mispronounce a dignitaries name? Or say Mr instead of Chief? Or omit to call up someone for a group photograph (actually that happened).

But as they say, I did it afraid. Executed well.

Still thinking if my MC name should be Coach AK, Finding Nimo, Akanimo or my Uni DJ name -Akan Sensation 😎😂👍🏾✅

There's a lot going on in our country, the global space and our personal lives that can deeply affect our mental health. Your mental health issues do not make you any less of a person. People can intentionally begin to take small steps that can lead to big progress in their mental health. It’s OK to ask for help

Just last week, I was looking at her IG and marvelling at her boundless energy and involvement in so many social activities. Her life was snatched away, in Abuja, by “one chance” robbers. So sad! Doing my best to reach out to FCT Minister WIKE and LP’s Senator Ireti KINGIBE to see if they can influence change in providing better security in Abuja

A few days ago, I trained teachers from Play Learn & Lawrence Prentice Academy, Asaba on Emotional Intelligence. The conversations revolved mainly on raising, nurturing and developing Gen Zs. The teachers learned about appreciating their (students) individualities, understanding their preferences - while building their resilience and strong values.

This was my first time training teachers and I found the experience invigorating. Maybe, it was the eager way they soaked in the learnings - or the impact I'm certain they'll make to the next generation.

Kudos to Ms. Abby Chukwudebe for investing in teacher development! 👊🏾✅💪🏾

Very often, we-we in the ‘Helping Profession’ (coaches, counsellors, nurses, pastors, social workers) are passionately committed to helping, supporting and taking care of others. And can easily slip into neglecting ourselves! Join us at 6pm today, (Tuesday July 18) for an interactive webinar on SELF CARE, hosted by the International Coaching Federation (Nigeria Chapter) and ICF South Africa
