“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given.” — Isaiah 9:6

This season is a reminder that hope entered the world quietly, humbly, and with purpose.

In the midst of life’s demands and distractions, Christmas calls us to pause and remember the gift of Christ — God’s promise made flesh.

May His birth renew your faith, steady your heart, and anchor you in peace as you reflect on the year past and the one ahead.

Most people don’t achieve their New Year goals because the year is never designed.

Using structured reflection and planning prompts changed how my 2025 unfolded — I moved through the year with clarity, direction, and systems.

I’ve shared those exact prompts in a free 2026 Planning Workbook for anyone who wants to plan the year ahead more intentionally.

🌟 Grateful & honoured to be recognized as a Finance Alliance Top Voice.

This recognition means a lot because it reflects something I deeply believe in — when finance professionals share knowledge, challenge ideas, and elevate one another, the entire industry grows stronger.

Thank you to the Finance Alliance for creating a space for meaningful conversations and for spotlighting leaders who are committed to shaping the future of finance.

Looking forward to continuing to contribute, learn, and grow.

A strong personal brand is quiet power.
It opens doors, shapes perception and accelerates your growth.
Start building yours on purpose.

And if you are a career professional, the credibility of the company you work for can help strengthen your own brand. I talked more about this here - https://youtu.be/qCti79YKTa8?si=lt2mp....

Later today, I’ll be going LIVE with my friend and Brand Transformation Coach, Oladoyin Taiwo to dive into a powerful topic that came up in conversation yesterday:

How the fear of “evil eyes” keeps many of us small, invisible, and afraid to fully show up.

It’s such a real issue in our culture, and I want to hear YOUR perspective on it too.

🗓️ Date: Oct 4th
🕗 Time: 8PM WAT
📍 Where: Instagram Live (@meedeey)

We’ll be unpacking together:
🔹 Why we dim our light out of fear of envy
🔹 The hidden cost of hiding our wins
🔹 How to show up boldly—without overthinking

Question for you: Have you ever held back from sharing a win because you didn’t want to attract envy?

Join us this evening for this conversation—it promises to be honest, real, and refreshing!

Last Friday, I joined the London Business School Nigeria Alumni Worldwide Celebration, themed “Africa’s Builders: What it takes to start, grow and scale.”

Beyond the keynote by Mr. Bolaji Balogun and a rich panel anchored by Rolake Akinkugbe, the event reminded me of my younger self — eager to grow my network and meet really smart people. I’ve always believed: if you’re the smartest in the room, it’s time to find a new room.

Networking isn’t only about job hunting. The right rooms change everything.

Where can you meet smart, inspiring people as a busy 9–5er?
🎓 Alumni events
🎤 Conferences like WIMBIZ, The Platform, etc
💻 Online webinars (many are free!)
🙏 Church/volunteer communities
📱 Career focused WhatsApp groups

Years ago, I met a friend at an IE Business School event who introduced me to an NGO, Young Professionals Impact (YPI). That one connection led to years of leadership opportunities I never imagined.

Here’s what I know for sure:
✅ Networks give you insights early
✅ Create collaborations & partnerships
✅ Build credibility & influence
✅ Enrich your personal life

Your network doesn’t just transform your career — it transforms your life.

How are your 2025 goals looking so far?

I’ve learned that waiting until year-end to check progress is often too late.
This weekend, try a quick September check-in:
✅ What went well?
✅ What could be better?
Then roll those insights into your October plan.

May God help us finish the year strong.
What’s one thing you’ll review this weekend?
