It would only be a loss on your part.
The Smart Stewards community has been good to me. I am a better version of myself while impacting and influencing others.
I had always preferred to play small, hiding unnecessarily until I received an email from the Institute of Management Consultants for fellowship conferment and global CMC certification.
At a point in my life, I wondered what was up with me, as I couldn’t fathom so many things since. The email reminded me that all my work experience of over two decades has been grooming me as a management consultant.
I inquired how I was found out; I was told via the internet. Hmmm, in the last year, I have gone out of my usual territory indeed.
I am now a Certified Management Consultant (Global Certification) and a fellow, Institute of Management Consultant.
I had planned to sleep in today as I had had a busy week. I woke up to a text message from Taiwo-Fajolu Ibinike telling me there was a slot to sell drinks at the SMART STEWARD SUMMIT.
I packed my wares and headed to the summit with the intent to drop my staff and head home.
I’m glad I stayed and attended the summit.
Apparently the ache in my heart hadn’t gone unnoticed by God, right from the ELC (Excellence in Leadership Conference organised by Daystar) , this summit seemed like to the conclusion of the matter. The speakers spoke to the heart of everything I need right now. Big blessing!
