If you catch a sense that you will lead a ‘public figure’ life someday, immediately tighten your discipline. Especially, sexual discipline. It can single-handedly end a successful career.

@thefavourolori Maybe not "dead it" but for the sake of building what's gonna be worth it, bear in mind you aren't ready.

You can deliver a Lagos-standard production in Ibadan, but some clients will still ask why your price isn't cheaper because you're not in Lagos.

Creativity doesn't have a state of origin. 😂

This is one thing I want people to know.

Many of the job descriptions you see were written with AI, which sometimes inflates the requirements and the responsibilities. It then looks like something you can't do or something above your skills.

Don't let that stop you.

I advise you to:

1. Match your resume title to the exact job title.

If they are looking for a Renewable Project Finance Expert, use it.

2. Reword your past experience to align with the job title.

The job is often silent about adjoining roles that closely mirror the main title. For instance, 80% of my work has been on energy and climate finance, but I was hired as a Sustainability Consultant. Find those overlaps and reword your experience to match.

3. Use the job's keywords sparingly.
Every job uses keywords, usually around hard and soft skills. Find them and make sure they appear naturally in your resume. Don't stuff them.

4. Use forward-looking statements.
I check recent public talks by executives in that company. What are they talking about? Have they set a time-bound ambition? A good example is Dangote Refinery and their 2030 agenda, or the newly launched 35 by 35 of the UN if you are applying to a UN organization. Mirror that language in your resume and cover letter.

Do everything possible to get to the interview, where you will have the chance to convince them through your confidence and your story.

12 WAYS TO SUCCEED IN THE CORPORATE WORLD

1. UNDERSTAND HOW THE BUSINESS MAKES MONEY.
Don't limit yourself to understanding your job description. Learn how the organisation generates revenue, controls costs, serves its customers and measures performance. Understanding the bigger picture makes you more valuable.

2. BECOME EXCELLENT AT YOUR JOB. Before worrying about promotions and management positions, master the responsibilities you have been given. Understand your processes, know your numbers and become someone people can trust to deliver results.

3. LEARN HOW TO DOCUMENT YOUR WORK.
Keep records of important decisions, instructions, completed assignments, reports and achievements. Don't rely entirely on verbal agreements. Documentation protects you, helps you track your contributions and makes it easier to account for your work.

4. UNDERSTAND CORPORATE POLITICS. Every organisation has formal structures and informal power structures. Understand who influences decisions, how information moves and how people relate to one another. You don't necessarily have to participate in office politics, but you cannot afford to be ignorant of how your organisation operates.

5. MAKE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS VISIBLE. Doing good work is important, but people also need to know what you have contributed. Learn to present your results through reports, meetings and performance reviews. Don't assume your manager knows everything you do.

6. DEVELOP EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION SKILLS.
Learn how to write professional emails, prepare reports, make presentations and communicate difficult information without creating unnecessary tension. Your ability to communicate your work can influence how people perceive your competence.

7. BUILD PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS.
Don't restrict your relationships to people in your department. Get to know colleagues across different functions, including people in positions of influence. Many opportunities in the corporate world come through professional relationships and people who know what you can do.

8. UNDERSTAND YOUR MANAGER'S EXPECTATIONS.
Learn what your manager considers important, how they measure performance and what they expect from your position. Don't wait until appraisal season to discover that you have been focusing on the wrong things.

9. DEVELOP SKILLS THAT MAKE YOU DIFFICULT TO REPLACE.
Invest in skills that are valuable to your organisation and industry. Learn data analysis, Excel, project management, negotiation, financial management and other technical skills relevant to your role. Your academic qualifications may get you through the door, but your practical abilities help you remain valuable.

10. LEARN HOW TO HANDLE CONFLICT. You will encounter difficult colleagues, unreasonable demands, disagreements and situations where people take credit for work they didn't do. Learn to address issues professionally, keep records where necessary and avoid turning every disagreement into a personal battle.

11. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR CAREER DEVELOPMENT.
Don't assume your organisation will automatically prepare you for your next promotion. Identify the competencies required for higher positions, seek relevant assignments, request feedback and deliberately work towards closing your skill gaps.

12. KNOW WHEN TO MOVE ON.
Not every organisation will provide the growth, compensation or opportunities you deserve. If you have consistently delivered results, developed your skills and exhausted reasonable opportunities for progression, be willing to explore other organisations. Loyalty should not mean putting your career on indefinite hold.

I learn from them indirectly
Get myself in their space
Pay attention in meetings
Ask open-ended questions (if they talk a lot, you will learn more than one or two)...

The career advice you want may be to not be working that job.

Not all bosses would be open to you bout that.

[Mister Psalm @PsalmLolu]

As smart as this sounds, honestly, I won't be recommending it. But if it work for you... 🤷‍♂️

Please create a website and post all transcripts of your videos. That’s one way to feed it into what search engines and AI tools find when people search about the evils of britain.

[Mister Psalm @PsalmLolu]

I always will not proceed with a campaign if there is any discrepancy in your website. Either a glitch or an intentional move.

As long as I can tell that it would affect the quality of my work and overall result, we won't proceed until it's fixed, no matter how long it takes.

@PsalmLolu I see sense in this

[Mister Psalm @PsalmLolu]

And jsyk, she didn't just form this behaviour when she got to UK, not even when she agreed to date or marry him.

It's been there, he just chose to overlook it. Now it's biting him seriously in the ass

“Did i ask you to bring me to uk”?

Why are you an ungrateful goat?

[Mister Psalm @PsalmLolu]

Perhaps the consistent result delivery was never tied to converting leads to buyers via website. Else he wouldn't have gotten to this position at all.

Wdym you don't test the website you are directing leads to?

@PsalmLolu Even after delivering results consistently?
