  • Good Friday, Good News!

    Good Friday, Good News!

    Good Friday, Good News! Happy Easter my friend! I know many of you may be saying to yourself – “what is happy about this Easter?”. Well, I believe there is a lot to be grateful for. You are alive, you are healthy, you are able to see yet another day. I believe this in itself…

  • Better Days Lie Ahead!

    Better Days Lie Ahead!

    Better Days Lie Ahead! It all happened in an instant. One moment, you were happily living your life and the next it feels like the ground beneath you has disappeared. No one is immune to adversity, and yet it’s human nature that we rarely give much thought to our ability to cope with a serious…

  • Change Your Ways

    Change Your Ways

    Change Your Ways If there’s one thing that’s clear from the corona-virus crisis, it’s that our place in the world is fragile. I am calling it the great equalizer. Whether you are rich, poor, educated, illiterate, black, white, a celebrity, no one knows you exist. This disease does not discriminate. What is even more interesting…

  • Insecure

    Insecure

    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?

    Pride: What is It Really?

    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.…

  • Embrace Pain

    Embrace Pain

    Embrace Pain The forces of pain and pleasure impact every area of your life: from relationships, to finances, to how you feel about yourself and others. 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?

    Why so Much Pain?

    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.…

  • Justification to Explanations

    Justification to Explanations

    Justification to Explanations You and I might think that the cure for disconnection is just putting the phone down. And sure, that may help. I’ve tried technological abstinence and had moderate success. It is possible to live without technology for a few days or longer. But ditching technology is not the real solution to our…

  • Why do I Feel so Alone?

    Why do I Feel so Alone?

    Why do I Feel so Alone? Do you recall getting your first smartphone? Personally, I was mesmerised. Suddenly, I could be connected anywhere, anytime. Even on vacation. There were times my son would ask “mum, is your phone more important than speaking to me” and right there is a big slap on the face….bham! As…

  • New Year, New You!

    New Year, New You!

    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…
