Six Months In: Reflections on Building an ESG Consultancy   As I hit the six-month milestone in running my consultancy, I find myself reflecting on the journey so far, a journey that began long before the official launch. With professional roots spanning Schlumberger Oilfield Services, KPMG, Diamond Capital, and the Central Bank of Nigeria, each experience contributed to the foundation I now stand on.   Lao Tzu famously said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". Taking that first step into entrepreneurship was daunting but deeply rewarding. The past six months have been a whirlwind of designing ESG strategies, helping clients align with sustainability goals, and discovering just how transformative the right solutions can be for businesses and communities.   Every journey requires balance. While Longfellow values toil, Wordsworth reminds us to rest. Recognizing this, I’m stepping back to recharge. I’ll be on a well-deserved break until mid-January, a time to reflect, refocus, and return energized for the year ahead.   Looking forward, my vision remains clear:   ·      Empowering clients to lead with purpose by prioritizing people, planet, and profit. ·      Delivering cutting-edge ESG solutions that drive measurable impact. ·      Fostering sustainable growth in ways that benefit both businesses and the global community.   Outside of work, I’m excited to embrace this downtime with family, explore the natural world, and dive into the innovative tech shaping the future of sustainability.   To those who have been part of this journey, thank you. I’m grateful for the trust, the partnerships, and the shared commitment to building a better world. Let’s connect in January and continue shaping the future of sustainability together!   #ESG #Sustainability #Leadership #Consultancy #Entrepreneurship
