There was a time, a long season in my life, when I was held captive by what I considered to be a negative, unfulfilling and regrettable past. Every thought, sight or smell reminded me of my “undesirable” past and it was difficult to move forward into the future God had for me. More worryingly, I didn’t know how to move forward.

Then, one day God showed me how these emotional scars were negatively impacting my life and he walked me through a practical step-by-step process that helped me break out of that destructive cycle and embrace the beautiful life I had once thought was beyond me! 

And I share that same process in this episode.

"Enjoy where you are on the way to where you’re going." It was Joyce Meyer that I first heard use that phrase back at uni and it really used to bug me. Like, if I don’t like where I am and I can see clearly where I want to be, how on earth can I bring myself to accept where I am - let alone enjoy it or even prosper in it!

But then again, isn’t that what people like Joseph, Abraham, Daniel, David, Jesus, Paul and much more did? Regardless of how far their current situations were from what they desired or even the future God had showed them, they still learnt to flourish right there.

If they could do it, then surely God expects that we can do it too.

So this week I teach exactly how you can bloom and flourish right where you are on the way to where you’re going.

Do you struggle to create new habits and stick with them? Do you find yourself failing again and again when you want to effect change despite your best intentions? 

Well, the truth is, building a new habit can be one of the most challenging tasks a person embarks on. 

This week I teach you a simple strategy I have used for several years to successfully build and maintain habits that range from the mundane to the truly life-changing.

Does it feel you spend all your time fighting fires? Like a conveyor belt, urgent demands keep showing up that dominate your time, attention and resources.

So, you repeatedly find yourself interrupting  or deferring long-term solutions in order to deal with superficial effects.

Because you keep moving from one thing to the next, you tend to leave things half done and patched up. As a result, these problems find their way back into your space and sometimes, show up even worse.

This is what is called the Firefighter Mentality. This week Olawunmi teaches why this is a very unproductive way to live and how you can break this cycle by taking a more strategic approach to solving the problems you encounter at work and in life.

For the first time on the podcast, Olawunmi shares her career story from the lows through the messy middles to the highs, and the life-changing lessons she has learnt along the way.

Introducing the Wisdom Compass, a collection of powerful ideas to help you navigate everyday challenges as you reach for your biggest goals. In this episode, Olawunmi teaches 4 powerful ideas to GROW YOUR NETWORK, INFLUENCE & IMPACT IN THE WORKPLACE, and get promoted in the process!

In the lifelong pursuit of our biggest goals, we are continually faced with choices. And every now and then, a choice will come along that looks so good, it somehow blurs the line between right and wrong. 

It is in those moments that we must be extremely vigilant and wary of the damaging consequences of compromise. 

This week, Olawunmi teaches why you should do all you can to clearly define your core values and esteem them above any form of gain, no matter how great it looks.

You have just accepted a promotion, started a new job or business, or perhaps there is very little representation of your ethnicity or gender at the level you’re on. 

You look around you and the successes you have rightly earned feel like a fluke. Or a mistake. Or simply a “miracle”. You think, surely there are people more intelligent and deserving than you. So you find yourself constantly battling self-doubt and insecurity, with a nagging fear that your inadequacies will soon be discovered and you will be exposed as a fraud.

This phenomenon is called Imposter Syndrome. This week Olawunmi examines why high achievers struggle with this fear and how you can overcome it to continually soar in life.
