EMPOWERMENT CORNER!

Posted by admin Hardwork doesn't wear people out. It is wrong work that does. However, it is necessary to take note of how we make the most of time even after work in order to become more productive anytime we are back on the job. Here are few tips that can lighten up our work lives: 1. At the end of the day develop an unwinding routine to signal the brain that you are leaving work. Your mind must truly be ready to free itself from any work entanglement after the close of the day. Wash your coffee or tea mug, and tidy away your work environment. Clear the clutter to clear the mind. 2. On your way home try to unwind by listening to music or playing puzzles probably on your gadgets incase you have such.

Find time during the day to give yourself  a 15-20 minutes break purpo...

The privatisation exercise by the BPE looks more or less like a sham that needs to properly rechecked because there is no positive effect of the change. We need to start taking positive steps by copying other nation's models in ensuring development in that area. We should begin to look away from the conventional way of generating power . Don't know why we can't look into solar and wind power as a national project. Within 4 years we can ...

Delivered at The Platform, Abuja Friday, May 1, 2015 By LEKE ALDER [ Principal of Alder Consulting, Author, Social Media Personality, Public Speaker and Philanthropist ] Posted by admin Let me begin this afternoon by stating that I am here to speak for the small businessman - the aspiring entrepreneur. I am not here to speak for big business. Big business can afford to speak for itself though i  acknowledge the challenges of big business but I want to speak for the little man - the young man or woman with little or no capital- a rather puny David confronting the Goliath called Life in Nigeria… I’m going to speak for that little man with limited  options…the one for whom Government is a far away notion, something at a distance- a leviathan he can’t comprehend or absorb. You see to succeed in business in Nigeria you have to take on one of the attributes of God - you have to become self-sufficient. How do you do this, you ask. Simple! You provide you...
