Welcome to Designed for Success Podcast

This episode is titled 'Build Bridges, Not Walls'

I grew up in the barracks (Northern Nigeria). My father was in the force, hence we lived in the barrack community for over 30 years.

Barrack in this part of the world is a community of different people (religion, ethnic, beliefs, etc). The insights I shared was inspired by the lessons I learnt from my beloved mother on how she built bridges, not walls.

Despite the difference in beliefs, culture, religion, etc, my mum was intentional in her quest to building bridges of peace, understanding, communication, etc with everyone that encountered her.

The bridges she built still serves us good till date. The lesson helped to shape my values around relationship with people.This has brought immense benefit to my life.

Here are some lessons that I shared;

1. You cannot run the race of life by yourself
2. You need people 
3. Define your values and be committed to adding value to other people
5. Understand your purpose for every relationship
5. Take every relationship seriously, there is a lesson therein

I hope you gain something meaningful in today's episode 'Build Bridges, Not Walls'

Happy Listening
