Episode 63: Career Excellence - Success Secrets For Advancement with Ijeoma Nwakuche
On the 63rd episode of CREATED FOR MORE, The podcast, I am discussing the subject ‘Career Excellence’ with my very amazing sister friend Ijeoma. M. Nwakuche, Founder of the Purple Orchid Projects.
On today’s show, we discussed what it means to demonstrate excellence in the workplace which results in being what Ijeoma terms “referral worthy”. Emotional intelligence, self realisation, identity, perfectionism are some of the core themes of today’s truly enriching conversation.
I love Ijeoma for her consistency and professionalism and I have no doubt that today’s episode will catalyse your growth into being the very best you can be so that you can serve the world with your value and fullest capacity.
Key Highlights;
