I want to share something painful from my past, something that affected my life forever. So, I got married in the year 2000, and not long after, I gave birth to my son, Raymond. From the moment he was born, our lives became full of hospital visits, sleepless nights, and endless medical expenses. The sickness didn’t just affect my son, it affected my marriage too. My husband and I were always stressed. We argued constantly. We blamed each other for everything. Love slowly disappeared from our home. We went from lovers to strangers who only talked about hospital bills. In 2006, the marriage couldn’t survive anymore. We went our separate ways, and I was left to raise Raymond alone. It was hard, so hard that I had to leave my acting career behind. I just couldn’t focus. I was broken. Then came the biggest blow of all, Raymond passed away at the age of 17. That pain is something I carry with me every day. Please, know this before you fall in love, know your genotype. Love is truly a beautiful thing, but it is not strong enough to carry the weight of this sickness called sickle cell. Know your genotype before love blinds you. I lost everything because I didn’t. - Eucharia Anunobi

Whenever you're having a conversation with someone especially in a professional setting maintain eye contact for atleast 20% of the conversation so much that you can tell the colour of the eyes. It shows confidence and strong character of someone who can be trusted. #nakupenda #discipline

You are feared by your fears. So face it. Sometimes, the things we’re most afraid of are afraid of us too — afraid we’ll grow, change, and rise above them. Fear thrives in silence and avoidance. But the moment you turn around and stare it in the face, something shifts. You start to realize it’s not as powerful as it seemed. It was feeding off your hesitation. Your fears only have the power you give them. Face them, and you’ll see: they were never bigger than you — just louder. #Ngo_123 #grace

Joshua‬ ‭24‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬ For the Lord our God is the one who rescued us and our ancestors from slavery in the land of Egypt. He performed mighty miracles before our very eyes. As we traveled through the wilderness among our enemies, he preserved us.” I pray for you and I today, the testimony of God’s faithful will never cease in our mouths.His kindness will always be a reference point for us and our generations to come.His grace abound for ever in Jesus name. Good morning and do have a great week ahead.

In a world overwhelmed by instant reactions, impulsive replies, and emotionally charged exchanges, the true mark of strength and emotional intelligence is not in how quickly we speak—but in our ability to pause. That brief, intentional moment of silence between stimulus and response is not emptiness; it is power. It creates space for clarity, for calm, for wisdom to surface over impulse. Whether you’re navigating a tough conversation, leading a team, or simply dealing with personal conflict, the pause allows you to respond—not react—with intention and grace. It helps you listen beyond words, consider deeper perspectives, and communicate with empathy and strength. In that silence, you regain control, disarm tension, and turn potential conflict into meaningful connection. It’s not weakness—it’s mastery. The power is in the pause. Will you use it? #Happiness #AWESOMEGOD

**The Silent Professional: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome in the Workplace** ## The Invisible Barrier to Professional Excellence Do you recognize yourself in these scenarios? Perhaps you refrain from contributing valuable insights during crucial meetings. Maybe you downplay your achievements during performance evaluations. Or you might find yourself reluctant to pursue advancement opportunities that align with your capabilities. These behaviors aren't merely personality quirks—they're manifestations of a phenomenon that affects countless high-potential professionals: imposter syndrome. The indicators are subtle yet powerful: * Hesitation to articulate your perspectives in collaborative settings * Persistent self-doubt despite objective evidence of competence * Avoidance of challenging assignments that could showcase your abilities * Perfectionism that paralyzes decision-making * Defensive reactions to constructive feedback * Self-sabotaging internal dialogue * Disproportionate anxiety around potential missteps or evaluation * Reluctance to engage with high-visibility responsibilities * Unfavorable self-comparison with colleagues * Allowing past setbacks to define your professional identity * Strategic self-deprecation to manage others' expectations * Tolerance of detrimental workplace dynamics ## Constructing a Framework for Professional Confidence If these patterns resonate with your experience, consider implementing these transformative strategies: ### Reclaim Your Professional Voice Your silence isn't a natural state—it's a learned response. Remember that your employment is predicated on your ability to contribute solutions and perspectives. When intimidation silences you, both you and your organization suffer the consequences. ### Acknowledge Your Value Proposition If inadequacy is your dominant narrative, examine two possibilities: insufficient preparation or unrecognized strengths. The former requires strategic action; the latter demands a perceptual shift. ### Implement the "One Meeting-One Voice" Principle While not every gathering requires your input, your primary meetings should consistently feature your voice. Question the value of your attendance if your perspective remains unshared. ### Execute a Weekly Empowerment Protocol Restructure your upcoming week with intentional focus on meaningful contribution. Establish metrics to evaluate your progress by week's end, celebrating incremental improvements in your professional presence. ## Beyond the Basics: Your Transformation Journey Professional confidence isn't achieved through isolated tactics but through sustained practice and mindset reconstruction. The strategies outlined here represent the foundation of a comprehensive approach to reclaiming your professional authority. For those committed to substantive change in this dimension of their career development, additional resources await your engagement. These tools will facilitate a deeper transformation in how you perceive and present your professional capabilities. The workplace needs your authentic contribution. Your voice matters. Your insights create value. Today, choose to embody the professional confidence that aligns with your true capabilities. #happiness #AWESOMEGOD
