Episode 5: Redeeming Time - A Story of Triumph After Denial with Sandra Nwachukwu
On Episode 5, our guest Sandra Nwachukwu, a UK-based Chartered Surveyor, is speaking on her life’s journey through overcoming adversity linked with her University education. Sandra’s life took an unexpected turn after attending University in Nigeria for 4 years but on completion was told that she could not be awarded a degree due to an admission error she had no knowledge of. On this episode, Sandra shares very openly about the loss of identity and sense of purpose that can come when your best laid plans are rocked without any warning. Sandra knows very well the pain of stolen time; and explains what it did to her and how through grace she managed to overcome and reclaim the years that had been taken from her unjustly. Sandra’s life can be condensed into a powerful story of sheer grit and determination and what it takes to bounceback and thrive after facing incredible disappointment.
Key learnings of the episode are:
- Get started; Knowing that it is never too late to start something or do something or be something
- A good tribe; Building / belonging to a tribe of people cheerlead and support you when you need it the most can be the difference between failing and bouncing back from setbacks
- Self-belief; Believing in yourself and going for your dream knowing you have what it takes to breakthrough. Self belief is the cornerstone of every achievement
- Little intentional steps; The importance of taking small steps towards your goal. Looking at the full picture may feel overwhelming, however starting where you are, doing what you can, and taking little intentional steps everyday towards your desired outcome is the key to success
Today Sandra is an Investment Surveyor who provides comprehensive advice to a range of clients including, institutional funds, private equity, property companies and sovereign wealth funds on commercial property investment in the UK.
Outside work, she spends her time being an aunty, godmother, dancer, foodie, books and music lover, amongst other passions.
