EXPRESSION

"And Mary said to the angel, how can this be, since I have no intimacy with any man as a husband?  ...She kept all these things to herself, holding them dear, deep within herself (pondered them in her heart)."

It's about the time of the year when we share in the love of Him who made us, exchange greetings and gift of all kinds. Well, I'm still expectant of mine if peradventure you're yet to submit yours! By the way, what does it mean to celebrate the reason for the season – Christ Mass? This season, Christmas is the celebration of divinity, a gift fleshed out in human form to humanity. The prophecy of his birth came with a shock that a virgin who knew no man will conceive. How on earth will that be possible, so think Mary the vessel through which divinity was to be delivered into the world.  So it came to reality when he was about to be born in a manger. Long ago the choice of an inn was aborted for there was no room, but down the line he no longer seek for a room than a prepared heart where he can abode and let his true nature get expressed!

Back to the basics of discuss, whenever you in a state of pondering all that matter is bringing thoughts to mind. To ponder is a state of expressing what's in the mind, that is to say fleshing out ideas into reality. When there is reason to begin figure out how can it be, then there must be ways to how it can.

Yours truly, The  Marketplace Strategist wishing YOU Merry CHRISTMAS

The spirit of faith look less on how can this be to the realm of how it will be and come to accomplishment. The kind of lifestyle leap forth from carnal means of getting result  on fallback mechanism into the heart of supernatural way of getting result on God's deposit of strength in us.
We all have been called to a lifestyle of EXPRESSION, bringing to public glare how things in its real sense ought to be than how it has been. Creativity, renovation will bring about the quality life. The more you think it can't be the more you see reasons why it must be.
Just before you get carried away with the activities of the season, get into the core of the season - expression of love that the King has for his kingdom and kindred. It is the God's very best gift for humanity by sending His son for us as an identity we can relate with.

Compliment of the season to you All, from yours truly, the Marketplace Strategist.

THE SYNOPSIS (I)

Cover design of the book, THE GOVERNING LIFE

Hello Dear friend,

I’m right here in your space once again but yet with another appetizing edition, ‘the synopsis’. I know what is playing round your mind now: why the caption, SYNOPSIS? Simply put, it is summary of a text in a condensed version. This synopsis is about story-line of a character who took the main center stage of transforming, instructing and impacting positively its audience. Guess who the character is? It's called by name, 'THE GOVERNING LIFE' and the synopsis is about the review of the newly published character – did I just said character, oh apology I mean to say Book. Yes, the book is a series on pathway to personal leadership which brings to fore critical issues of purpose, process and discipline. A 108paged book authored by Emmanuel Abiona (your favourite Marketplace Strategist) with ISBN: 978-978-950-962-1, has Four chapters that attempts to instill in readers the craving to be reflective about the purpose of every event in one’s life as providence connect the dots of today’s  and tomorrow in a network of process.

No better way it would have been put than how Dr. Dotun Reju (Chief Resource Person, Centre for Transformational Leadership) opined in the foreword that “the pages of this book are written for personal reflection for individuals who desire optimum productivity and impact in his/her sphere of influence. Every paragraph of this book requires a high level of ‘reflective reading’ and contextualization for sincere application.” That is not ranting at all, just reality! It’s not just another book you see in the rank and file of motivational books, it is a life-giving book birthed with principles that imparts into the being of readers.

Here we go for the synopsis of the book which starts with a prologue, defining in its entirety how life should be lived and the purpose it is configured to serve in each individual. Then comes the first Chapter, Personal branding: Identity management focusing on personal branding that describes the component tool of what we have capacity for. This bring us to forefront of what your inner strength has got to offer you capable of effortlessly producing for humanity consumption and the crop of problem you should be willing to solve without much wait on the compensation you get from it though it might come on the long run. The chapter sums it up the right definition of life as found in the primary assignment we are by default called to serve.

Motioning the momentum is what Chapter 2 offers!  Living for the moment as the title suggest  captures how life can be lived within the range of the ‘process’ – a perspective of having proper grip of the most expensive but less use resources at our disposal, Time. In one of the book reviewer’s word, Mr. Ayo Ogunyinka (Senior Patner, Ayodeji Ogunyinka & Co.): “chapter two of the book paint in its real sense what we see in our present world as time management in the overall view which the author captured.”

After this comes ‘A stormy pathway’, the third chapter of the book which gives a proper understanding of the stormy pathway where many folks don’t want to tread but pregnant with it are womb of great inventions and doorways to opportunities. This can be unleash in us if only we can get to turn challenges to what shape us and never back out from it.  A journey into the world of adventure!

Then the final of it all, fourth chapter takes us into the world of the practice of self control. It brings to bear how you can shoulder yourself first in having rule over it before gaining expression in others.  The word of Dr. Dotun Reju bring it home, the author impresses on our mind that if we will lead and be productive in life, we must be ready not to be wedged by external forces but be ready to apply personal internal control.  

The Postscript is a submission on how to start taking responsibility and stop the blame game. On the overview, the book ‘The Governing life’ is a narrative to detail how best life can be lived in its right process, from start to finish! That’s the life I love to invite you live, may I at this point crave your indulgence to come join in this discovery tour.

SHED IT OFF!!

A visit to the workplace won’t put you in shock as there is a restructuring going on in every sphere of the workplace. It is no longer based on qualification that determines workforce performance, remuneration, promotion; now it is based on how productive you are when it comes to appraisal. How did the workplace arrive this point? I think it is a measure they got from the Supreme Being, God; because he is a productive being who cut off every branch that has got no fruit to produce. This trend brings us to a fix: we will need to chart out path which are unusual to how it has been.

To grope is an attempt towards finding a path through in the dark. Life perhaps by default has been configured in such manner we must always find our way through in the darkest of the moment. As individuals and nation, this will come about being responsible to those inherent abilities lying fallow within us, by bringing it out to our sphere of influence to impact.

The area that are left inactive overtime in our lives gives room to unfruitfulness. Productivity will bring about a price to pay! It is the price of diligence, action and work tool; these are the price we must pay to get the prize. Your ability to roll with much tools par time does not define your state of being productive. Productivity is achieved when you roll with the right tool at the right time in the right place.

Don’t miss this: one sure way to maintain a meaningful and result oriented partnership in life is to shed-off some relationship we have with people which has got no value to add. Those friendship relationships have only one mandate, to slow you down your path of fulfilment and on the long run make you unproductive

Every of your friendship or relationship must always be defined par time in its right context, weighing the core value either it is significantly on the increase or negatively on decline by the day. That's self appraisal we must all embrace in life, just as it is done in the corporate world or workplace. 

Come join us in on Saturday 14th November, 2015as we invite YOU as SPECIAL GUEST at The FRONTLINERS 2015 CONFERENCE, @Hall B, UNILAG Guest House, University of Lagos, Akoka-Yaba. Time: 09:30am, register online @www.thefrontliners.info. 

Speakers include: Bisi Olowo (CEO, Interguide Air Services), Dotun Fasayede (Manager, Training Etisalat Nigeria), Ayo Ogunyinka (Senior Partner, Ayodeji Ogunyinka & Co.) and Michael Bangbade (Team Leader, The 2060 Dream). Admission is FREE
