😂 Remember that viral joke of the comedian who got wrongly credited with a huge sum of money? The bank called him, asking him to "kindly return the money to the rightful owner." He replied: “Sure! But first… come to my office and ask for my secretary. Collect a form and fill it out. Come back in 2 weeks. Bring your passport photo, the other person’s bank portfolio, and a signed letter from your MD. Then we’ll proceed — maybe.” 😎 It was hilarious… until the banker realized — this is exactly how they treat their customers! 😅 🧾 Red-tapism — The Hidden Killer of Productivity!

Working alongside dedicated team members, mentors, and leaders who push boundaries with creativity and resilience has shown me just how much can be achieved when we work with a shared vision. I’m grateful for the unexpected challenges, the ones that seemed impossible at first but ultimately taught me resilience, grit, and the art of looking for solutions in odd places.
