Why Some Self-Awareness Interventions Fail
Aristotle once said, “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” In my own Wisdom Nuggets, I often say: “An educated and humane being brings life to mankind; for education without humanity is a disgrace to mankind, and humanity without education is a burden to mankind.” When we provide people with an outcome without explaining the origins and process, we are seeking a transactional solution . Transactions are one-off events; they are neither last

The Purposeful Exchange: Reclaiming Your Treasure with E.A.L.I.G.E.R. Coaching
Reclaiming your identity. Activating your purpose. Bearing fruit that remains. Do you believe we are born empty and uninformed, finding ourselves as we find meaning to fill the void and leave a legacy?

Forced closures, unfulfilled dreams, and aborted plans challenge our self-worth and leave us vulnerable. This vulnerability manifests in every sphere of our lives. Earlier this week, I shared a post on handling recurring disappointments. I believe disappointments and appreciations are normal

It’s a Wrap – Wrap with Gratitude
The year-end is here; we are wrapping it up, but what is inside the wrap? Have we had a fruitful and fulfilling year? As a Fruitfulness Ambassador, I sometimes encounter scepticism when bringing up fruitfulness and fulfillment in business. However, these are fundamentally business terms. At a high level, fruitfulness equates to productivity, while fulfillment equates to measure of efficiencies. I would like to remind us that fruitfulness is not about perfection but excellence

The Anchor That Holds Beyond Measure
In this small experience, I learned profound lessons about prayer, faith, and grace , and I thought I would share them to encourage someone on how to interpret situations differently We often look for our anchors in life: Some say their families, their children, their dreams, or their ambition are their anchors. Some say their qualifications, networks, capability, or potential are their anchors. Some say their prayers, faith, discipline, and obedience are their anchors. But n
