Insecure I attended fellowship and someone alluded to the fact that I was being proud and/or showing signs of pride. Pride can be subjective and so I reached out to a friend (who is always straight with me) to ask if she thought I was proud. You see, I can’t always trust myself because I […]

Pride: What is It Really? I had just landed in Nairobi. It was 6 am and as I looked around, I didn’t see my mother who was meant to pick me up. I had just been on this long 9-hour flight from England and I was exhausted. There was no one in sight! That was 2 hours ago. […]

Everything you do is to either avoid pain or to gain pleasure. So, what do you do with pain? I believe we need a fresh perspective. We need to […]

Why so Much Pain? “I am crushed by the criticism. I get so tired of all the hats I wear, jobs I do, and time I spend. I’m exhausted by the weight of responsibility I have!” Does this sound like you? Leadership can be a burden. It will be painful — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. […]

New Year, New You! Happy New Year and New decade Leaders! One of the nagging things about a new year is this business of New Year Resolutions. We all make them — or at least feel that we should make them. Have you ever stopped to ponder what really is behind your New Year resolutions? I […]

Kick Cynicism Out! One evening, I was surfing through TV channels when I saw an elderly man being interviewed on JKLive. To me, it was an amazing interview. This man has significant influence in our nation Kenya. The man is a legit leader. He dressed the part, talked the part and definitely walked the part. […]

Cynicism – The Slide Begins… Last week, I left you with a provocation…..so what happens? How do you go from being so positive to being so negative? What I have come to discover on my own journey is that at least 3 things happened to my heart as it grew cynical: 1. I knew too […]
