CREATING INFLUENCE, SUCCESS AND LEGACY!


 

I have a knack for sharing what works for me. Oh well, I think I feel completely at ease doing so.

Since 2010 that I turned pro, I've learnt and practiced quite a lot, mixing different styles of leadership and choosing what works best per time.

I'll share three things I do to get ahead in my chosen path of thought leadership.

- Being increasingly excellent at what I know and what I do.

I work so hard to develop my craft. I attend seminars, read voraciously, connect with powerful masterminds, pay for coaching and trainings.

Finally, I practice, practice, practice, and practice.

Mastery is what I seek. Seek mastery.

I seek mastery to the point that when the industry is mentioned, the name Emeka Nobis will not to be far to recollect.

- Being businesslike in my approach and that means being timely in delivery, responding to client's needs, and putting a touch of "exceedinginess."

Sadly, many talented folks don't understand business. They talk anyhow. They snub folks. They leave jobs undone.

Being businesslike means that I go over the board at times to aid my clients.

Sometimes, I'm coaching a female client and I notice she's not getting results as expected. I deviate from what's being paid for to drilling into her personal life. Sometimes, I discover she's dealing with marital problems. I help her solve those issues. Sometimes, it could be with helping her with the happiness of mind needed to embrace divorce. With those sorted, we commence the process.

It can mean delivering before time. Yesterday I delivered a project an hour before the time I gave. Now the client wants to work with me on other projects.

- Leaving emotional touchpoints in the lives of people I connect with. This is very powerful.

I offer to do stuff for people. I listen to folks. I embrace them at my events. I go out of my way to sit down with people in cafes or restaurants or in places they never expected to meet with me.

Sometimes with students, I leave my house all the way to their school and sit with them in their hostels or cafeteria.

Emotional connections are powerful.

While I'm not so good at remembering names, I'm good at dishing powerful hugs. A hug can do a million things!

There's this unwritten code I see a lot of leaders embrace in the bid to establish scarcity that leads to respect.

When they don't answer phone calls nor return them, when they don't respond to emails or messages inbox, they spread this message of being "hard to get" that passes off as perception of importance.

Oh well, if that exists in their books, it doesn't exist in mine.

"Hard to get" doesn't translate to importance. Unknowingly, you sow seeds of anger in souls. While you may not be accessible to everyone, establish a system that is workable.

Remember the times you were begging for folks to pay you attention or read your posts or attend your seminars. That should humble you.

So I'm about to host my first ever big conference - targeting 200 persons.

I wish I could spell out the details here , but my heart swells in gratitude that someone has offered to feed my speakers, someone has offered to head my planning and do all the running around and someone has offered to build the website for the conference for free.

Why?

The rivers of blessedness and gratitude run deep and overflow their banks.

Learn these and you can be very influential in this world where building movements is changing the way business is being done.

Got questions and I'll be glad to answer.

N.B : As for the picture, mind not my belly, for I have hope. 😋

ONE MAJOR WAY OF BEING RESPONSIVE TO YOUR ABILITY

By PRAISE AKOBO It's possible you may or may not have thought of 'responsibility' as a 'response to ability'. So, let's roll. .. .. .. Have you checked, how that, when you were given a task, be it in school, church, office, firm or even that which you gave yourself? Did you see that, somehow, you felt lackadaisical at first but decided to take the bull by its horn? Now, the ability to do that was resident within, but came alive when you chose to act, this is why you hear words like UNTIL YOU GET STARTED, YOU CAN NOT START. .. .. .. I discovered that I understood something's about myself when I was given a responsibility in an N.G.O and accepted it. Just like you, I hesitated but until today, that has been a major factor in my growth. My NETWORK grew as well my NET WORTH. Lets say for instance, you are asked to be part of an Editorial Committee, you finally accepted, then along the line, you discovered ...

I FEEL FLY WHENEVER I SEE MY DESIGN OUTSIDE THE REACH OF AFRICA. “When he left ehnnn, my people, I cried, cried, cried and cried. And to make it worst, am to resume everyday in my school uniform as the uniform for the fashion designing......that Man ehnnn!” Really I do not know where to start from but let me start with a story I will always tell my kids and grandchildren. Growing up was not too easy for me because I was stubborn and I had a disciplinarian and a strict man as a father. He will always force me to study at night before sleeping and in the morning before going to school, but me, ehnnn, I don't like this thing they call book. NAH! NAH! But one thing I can do WELL is SKETCHING, sewing dresses for dolls and anything handy and outside reading but not reading even story books makes me sleep. So it happen that one day after end of second term in JSS 3, I was given my report card and it was written 'advice to go to commercial class' instead of S...
