It is Christmas season and despite the economic crunch, money will still flow. Many will receive bonuses; 13th month pay etcetera. For those with relatives overseas, this is the season of greatest inflow. Those in business will not be left out and will cash in on the boom. Unfortunately, by the time season departs, it often goes with the plenty it brought. This basically has to do with lack of financial planning for most persons. By the way, the abundance that Christmas brought does not disappear into thing air, it simply concentrates in the hands of a few shrewd individuals and corporations. Remember too, as the tide turns and the New Year berths, it will offload its mixed cargo of blessings and school fees; prophecies and house rent, among other January bills. All this in an inflation (34.6%) ridden economy. More than ever before, we need Financial Intelligence skills to stay afloat. In this class with Senior staff of Nestlé Nigeria, we discussed among other things: ▪︎ Choosing investments and strategies to beat inflation ▪︎ How to invest in US Dollars, Gold and other items that are stable during inflation ▪︎ The evolving nature of "Savings" instruments; why we must save (even) during an inflation and where to save. ▪︎ Tips to cultivate Financial discipline ▪︎ How to develop a personal financial map #financialintelligence #PersonalFinancialPlanning

Great three day session on Leadership Fundamentals in the 21st Century

The legendary Stephen Covey once said: "The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities." Personal Effectiveness then goes beyond acquiring productivity skills, it is first of all the ability to discern strategic objectives and direction, and secondly the ability to attain them. In other words, the "Why" and then the "How." Simply put, Personal Effectiveness is an individuals' ability to manage themselves, their time and resources, to maximize productivity and achieve strategic objectives. Some of the benefits for the individual are: ▪︎ Personal adaptability and resilience in a changing environment ▪︎ Enhanced problem-solving and decision-making skills ▪︎ Improved work-life balance ▪︎ Increased competitiveness and productivity ▪︎ Improved teamwork and collaboration. Fostering the Personal Effectiveness growth of their employees, is a deliberate strategy of organizations to achieve the following, among others: 1) Greater productivity 2) Employee wellbeing and retention. 3) Increased organizational innovation and creativity 4) Improved adaptability to change Great time with staff of Union Bank during their conversion program. #Personaleffectivenesscoach #Personalproductivityexpert

Great session with ream leads of a major commercial bank.

Advanced Selling Skills required to dominate in a highly competitive financial services environment, must look beyond the ability to persuade; negotiate or manage relationships. These are the fundamentals. Those that drive the sales strategy of organizations must possess insight into market and industry dynamics, contextualized within the domestic and global environment. They must be able to anticipate shifts in economic indices, observe patterns in consumer behavior and create markets through business innovation. It was an intense and exciting session with Senior Business Managers of First Bank as we discussed the topic "Business and Industry Analysis."

Onboarding session for participants at IOGC

William Ellery Channing is credited with saying: "It is chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with superior minds." And so I spent two days last week ruminating on the timeless classic by Stephen R. Covey: "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," with select staff of Lotus Bank. Through facilitation, participants were able to navigate and draw personal application from the concepts of Private (Personal) Victory, Public (Team) Victory and Sharpening the Saw (Constant improvement). It was at once a journey down memory lane, as I had first attended a similar session as a staff of a bank around 2006, and also an opportunity to empower others with the tools to win in life. #leadershipexpert #personaleffectivenesscoach

Another Masterclass for an award winning client in the financial services sector, on the theme of "Effective Communication for Delivering Memorable Experiences" in the marketplace. The participants having obtained feedback from their colleagues who previously attended the same program, were quite expectant. The competition in this sector is usually driven by technology and innovative products, deployed in relation to both the regulatory and economic environment. However, the defining factor is "people." They weaken or strengthen your brand; they elevate or diminish the customer experience and they determine how well your strategic objectives are executed. Participants were from Sales, Customer Experience Management, Recovery and Quality Management amongst others. 

Very insightful session
