Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them. "William Arthur Ward"

It's laughable how some people think networking ends after exchanging contacts. When actually, that’s where real networking starts. You go to events, meet smart people, collect cards, and then… nothing. No follow-up. No real connection. Just ghosting and WhatsApp status viewing. If you're serious about building profitable business relationships, read this will save you years of missed opportunities. The fact is that relationships are built in the follow-up. Opportunities grow in consistency. And visibility without value makes you forgettable. 🤝 The most successful people nurture relationships before they ever need anything. They don’t just show up when you’re “blowing.” If you want better results from your network? Start like this: 💬 After a meeting, send a message within 24 hours. 📌 Share a resource that helps them. 📆 Check in every few weeks without asking for a favor. Your network is not your net worth unless you're actively building it. 💡 Actionable tip: Choose one person you met recently and send them a thoughtful follow-up today. No pitch. Just care and value.

Boldness & Humility – A Divine Balance "Boldness without humility becomes arrogance, but humility without boldness leads to missed opportunities." Jesus was bold, yet perfectly humble—never fearful, always purposeful. As believers, we are called to reflect this same balance: to speak with courage, act with wisdom, and submit to God’s timing. ✅ Be courageous, not careless. ✅ Be humble, not hesitant. ✅ Let Christ’s character shine through you. #FaithAndBoldness #ChristlikeCharacter #HumilityAndCourage #PurposeDriven #DailyDevotion #ChristianLiving #BoldInChrist #FoodForThought

AFTERNOON TEA ☕ WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 12, 2025. PEACE THAT SURPASSES UNDERSTANDING. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Philippians 4:7, ESV And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. TODAY'S WORD: If you’re going to live in peace, it’s not going to happen by accident. Every day, we have opportunities to get upset, to be worried, to live offended. Life happens. People get on your nerves, unexpected bills come, and a friend is rude. If you wait for all your circumstances to calm down and then you’ll have peace, then you’ll quit worrying, you’ll be waiting your whole life. God never promised to keep us from difficulties. He didn’t say we wouldn’t have storms, but He did say He would give us peace in the midst of the storm. He calls it “a peace that surpasses understanding.” That means in spite of what’s going on around you, you can still be at peace. “The medical report wasn’t good, but I’m not going to worry. I didn’t get the promotion. A colleague was rude to me, but I’m not offended. God is fighting my battles.” You have to protect your peace. You weren’t created to live worried, upset, on edge. You have to turn it over to God and leave it in His hands. PRAYER FOR TODAY- Father, thank You that You didn’t create me to live weighed down by the worry, hurts, offences, and frustrations that creep in and limit my life. Help me to guard my heart and mind and leave issues in Your hands. I declare that I have Your peace that passes understanding. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

The Silent Resignation: Are Your Employees Working or Just Waiting? Not every resignation comes with a letter—some employees check out mentally long before they walk out physically. When I got a new job years back—I was so excited! But that enthusiasm *vanished* within my first week. Why? I was suddenly told I had to work Saturdays and Sundays without extra pay 😳 How do you dubiously leave out such a clause **all through recruitment**, let someone resign from their previous job, only to drop the bomb later? It felt like a **trap**, and it stole the joy of my new job. I endured, stayed engaged, but my mental perception changed. The fulfillment of being employed faded—until I found another job. Employers, how do you ensure transparency to avoid disengagement? Employees, what has ever made you mentally check out of a job? 💡Today's Debate: What’s the real cause of silent resignations—bad leadership, lack of growth, poor pay, or something else? Let’s discuss it! 👇 #SilentResignation #WorkplaceEngagement #EmployeeWellbeing #LeadershipMatters #RetentionStrategies #WorkplaceCulture #EmployerEmployeeBalance #GrowthOpportunities

MORNING TEA☕ WEDNESDAY JANUARY 22, 2025. ANOTHER CHANCE. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Lamentations 3:21-23 "But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." TODAY’S WORD: We all have opportunities that we’ve missed and times when we failed. We knew God’s calling was on our lives. He’d given us a dream, a great spouse to love, a door had opened, but we let distractions and compromise get us off course. We look back and think, “What could I have become if I had been more disciplined, controlled my temper, finished school, or forgiven that person?” It’s easy to live in regrets and think our life is limited because of past choices. We knew better if only we’d done better. The good news is that God is the God of another chance. He’s full of mercy. He knew the times when you’d fail, shrink back, and compromise. When we don’t deserve it, He steps in and says, “I’m giving you another chance to have a great relationship, to accomplish the dream, to step into your purpose. It’s not too late.” You haven’t made too many mistakes. God’s calling is still on your life. He never changes His mind. He doesn’t disqualify you. Now don’t disqualify yourself. Receive His mercy. PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You for Your mercies that are new every morning and for Your great faithfulness to me. Thank You that I can start every day new, rejoicing and expecting a great day. I declare that I will keep setting my mind for victory and the abundance of Your favour today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Why Young Professionals Are Ready to Quit Jobs — And What Great Leaders Can Do About It 👇 👇 Dear leaders, here’s a reality check: 65% of young professionals are considering quitting their jobs in search of better pay, belonging, and growth opportunities. With inflation rising and social media flaunting the “good life,” they’re chasing financial stability and fulfillment. But here’s the truth—your younger employees aren’t lazy or entitled. They’re simply asking for what great leaders should provide: motivation, recognition, and opportunities to grow. If you want to retain and inspire them, it’s time to elevate your leadership game. Why Motivating Younger Workers Matters For Millennials and Gen Z, work is more than a paycheck—it’s tied to their values and identity. They want to feel seen, supported, and included. When they don’t, they’ll leave. Motivated employees bring creativity and energy, but they’ll only thrive in a culture that invests in their growth. How to Inspire Younger Workers 1. Recognize Their Efforts: Publicly celebrate their contributions. A simple “great job” can go a long way. 2. Provide Growth Opportunities: Show clear career paths through promotions, upskilling, and mentorship. 3. Foster Belonging: Celebrate diversity, encourage collaboration, and listen to their ideas. 4. Support Mental Health: Offer flexibility, mental health resources, and work-life harmony. 5. Align Work with Purpose: Help them see how their efforts impact the company and society. 6. Be an Authentic Leader: Lead by example with transparency and trustworthiness. In conclusion, Lead to Inspire. As we enter a new year, remember this: “Leadership is not about being in charge. It’s about taking care of those in your charge.” (Simon Sinek). Younger workers want to be part of organizations that value them as people, not just as employees. They want leaders who inspire them, invest in their growth, and help them find fulfillment in their work. How will you inspire them to do their best work?
