What a pity, Hon. Hellen Nakimuli!
The news of the passing of Hon. Hellen Nakimuli, hitherto the Kalangala Woman MP, is not only shocking but devastating.
Young, energetic, and hardworking, with a zeal and determination to better the lives of the people of the Ssese Islands.
Those of us who followed her during the time she served as a Community Development Officer (CDO) in Bukebe, Bufumira, and Mazinga sub-counties of Kalangala District saw a promising leader.
When she started nursing ambitions of joining politics at the national level, we did not hesitate; we encouraged and supported her to join Parliament in 2021.
She served in my cabinet as the Shadow Minister for Fisheries and was very outspoken on issues concerning fishing communities and safety on the lakes.
She was peaceful and never acrimonious or vengeful.
We thank the Almighty Lord for her life and the many talents she shared with us as a leader and a sportswoman.
Deep commiserations to the family of Owek. Rev. Fr Christopher Walusimbi, her father; the Orthodox Faith that she professed; and the people of Ssese whom she served as MP.
Eternal repose, Hellen.
Oversharing in professional spaces can quietly cost you more than you realize.
Itโs natural to want to connect, be liked, and show your personality in professional spaces, but thereโs a fine line between being approachable and giving away more than you should.
Some conversations are better kept private, because not everyone you share with has the same intentions. What you reveal could unintentionally be used against you or affect how others perceive your professionalism.
Being cordial, approachable, and a genuinely good colleague doesnโt require overcompensation or excessive self-disclosure. You can build strong relationships, earn trust, and collaborate effectively without oversharing personal details or frustrations.
Your professionalism, discretion, and consistent performance speak louder than anything you might overshare.
Think before you share. Protect your professional reputation; itโs one of your most valuable assets.
