Dear LinkedIn Family, Happy New Year! Thank you for being an integral part of our journey in 2024. We are excited to have you with us again in 2025!

We continuously adopt and adapt, knowing that flexibility is key to delivering relevant and effective solutions in an ever-evolving world. If you haven’t already done so, we encourage you to reassess your goals and strategies for the year. Embrace the opportunity to refine your direction, pivot when necessary, and grow with intention. Here’s to a year filled with purpose, progress, and success! Jibril Lawal Yetunde Erogbogbo LOUISA OGIM, Assoc.

As the year draws to a close, you might find yourself reflecting on the numerous interviews you've attended without landing that coveted job. It’s natural to feel disheartened, but remember this - 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮. They are not a measure of your worth but rather opportunities. Opportunities to either secure a role or grow through the experience. Every “No” brings you closer to the “Yes” that will change your story. Keep this in mind: • Each interview sharpens your skills. • Every rejection strengthens your resilience. • The journey is just as important as the destination. We cannot overemphasise this: Keep going. All it takes is one “Yes” to turn things around. Stay prepared, stay positive, and trust the process. This week, approach every opportunity with confidence and determination. Your breakthrough is closer than you think. 💪✨ Here’s to turning the corner and stepping into new possibilities! #Newweek #mondaymotivation #monday

Social media isn’t just a platform where you casually share your thoughts; it’s a global stage. Every post, tweet, or story you put out is like a piece of art displayed in a gallery—visible to millions of people around the world. Your words, photos, and even the things you like or comment on contribute to the digital persona others form about you. These impressions can influence how you're perceived professionally, socially, and even personally. Think of social media as your personal branding tool: 1. 𝐁𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥: Share content that reflects your values, skills, and aspirations. 2. 𝐁𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥: Before posting, ask yourself, “Is this something I’d be proud of in the future?” 3. 𝐁𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠: Use it as a platform to network, learn, and grow. Remember, your digital footprint is powerful—it can open doors to opportunities or, if not managed wisely, create barriers. Treat social media as a room where your thoughts and actions are carefully curated and showcased to the world.  Make it count! #tips #socialmedia #LinkedIn

A big part of career success often lies in your ability to make your voice heard. If you're an introvert, you might feel concerned that your personality could limit your ability to stand out or showcase your accomplishments. But here's the good news—being introverted doesn’t mean you can’t shine. It simply means you can approach things differently, playing to your strengths. Here are actionable tips to ensure your voice is heard, your work is recognised, and your impact is felt • 𝐁𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 – Choose your moments to speak up thoughtfully. Focus on quality over quantity. • 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐬 – Use your listening skills to make insightful contributions that leave a lasting impression. • 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 – Think through your ideas in advance so you can confidently articulate them when it’s time. • 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 – If speaking up in meetings isn’t your thing, write compelling emails or share updates in one-on-one settings. • 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 – Connect with others in smaller, more meaningful ways that showcase your value. Your voice matters, and with a little strategy, it can resonate powerfully. Introverts, step forward and be heard—you’ve got what it takes! #introverts #Communicationskills #hacks

We encourage you to make every moment count as you close out the year with purpose and determination. You've got this! 💪✨ Happy Monday! #mondaymotivation #newyear2025 #2025 #endofyear2024

In today’s fast-paced world, simply being busy doesn’t guarantee progress. The goal is not to have a calendar full of tasks but to ensure your schedule is aligned with your most important goals. Being intentional with your time is key to staying productive without burning out. Here are two ways high-achieving professionals can build a smarter, more effective schedule 𝟏. 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟖𝟎/𝟐𝟎 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞 Focus on the 20% of tasks that contribute to 80% of your results. By identifying the most impactful activities, you can invest your time and energy where it matters most, leaving the less important tasks for later or delegating them entirely. 𝟐. 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 Allocate dedicated blocks of time for focused, uninterrupted work on your highest-priority projects. Turn off distractions, such as notifications, and resist the urge to multitask. This approach allows you to achieve deeper levels of concentration and accomplish meaningful work faster. Remember, it’s not about how much you do but how well you use your time. A well-organised schedule can lead to greater productivity, less stress, and more success. #SmartWork #WorkSmart #ProductivityTips #IntentionalLiving #TimeManagement #HighAchievers

Your comfort zone may feel safe, but it likely doesn’t hold the success and growth you’re aiming for. True progress requires stepping into the unfamiliar, where new challenges, opportunities, and skills await. To grow, you must be willing to leave your comfort zone, even if it feels uncomfortable or uncertain. Remember, every small step outside what feels "safe" brings you closer to new possibilities. Embrace the challenge—it's where real growth happens. #GrowthMindset #StepOut #EmbraceChange #SuccessBeyondComfort

The power of taking notes cannot be overemphasised. While some might consider it old school, keeping a journal (or digital notes) can help you leapfrog common obstacles like missing important details, forgetfulness, and even stagnation in your personal and professional growth. When you take notes, you’re not just documenting information; you're enhancing your learning, reinforcing your memory, and creating a personal knowledge bank that you can revisit anytime. Whether for meetings, brainstorming sessions, or personal reflections, note-taking is an underrated productivity tool that can keep you organised and ahead. You can use digital tools, apps, or a classic notebook—the format doesn’t matter as much as the habit of recording what matters. So, for this week, make it a point to jot down those key takeaways, insights, and ideas. You’ll be amazed at how much clearer, productive, and focused your week becomes! #MondayMotivation #ProductivityHacks #NoteTaking #StayOrganized #ContinuousLearning
