This modern crisis is not merely that people lie.

The deeper crisis is that institutions increasingly reward those who can imitate sincerity while remaining detached from truth altogether.

We have entered an era where perception often outperforms principle, at least temporarily.

That is why the line between diplomacy and duplicity matters more than ever.

We explore and define that line in today's article.

Have a great week ahead!

It is redrawn in every meeting you attend, every email you send, every investor update you give, every strategic omission you choose, every carefully chosen phrase you speak.

Diplomacy is the courage to be clear without being cruel.

Duplicity is the cowardice to appear kind while avoiding honesty.

The modern market is becoming a lie detector. Not perfectly. Not instantly. But steadily. Employees archive conversations. Consumers investigate supply chains. Reputation now travels at network speed.

The only enduring advantage is alignment. Alignment happens when your private convictions, public words, and operational actions can survive being placed in the same room together.

Choose carefully.

Because when the time comes, and the time will come, the market will choose too.

Creating impact daily, one step at a time

[Dr. Maxwell Ampong @thisisthemax]

Global power today is no longer just about military strength or economic size. It is also about diplomatic gravity.

Within days, Beijing hosted President Trump for high-stakes talks on trade, Taiwan, AI, Iran, and strategic competition… and then today, Xi Jinping welcomes President Putin for another major round of engagements, generally the same range of topics.

It reflects how China is positioning itself at the centre of an increasingly fragmented international order, engaging rivals simultaneously while carefully avoiding full alignment with either bloc.

What can you and I learn from this?

Modern engagement is no longer defined by simple alliances or binaries. Today’s world is shaped by simultaneous competition, cooperation, interdependence, and strategic ambiguity.

In short, be China. Distrust does not eliminate engagement. Just be careful, mindful, and strategic.

In this picture is where she has always been, right by my side.

And yes, I am clearly the stubborn one.

I’m the guy who continuously somehow turned every conversation into, “Wait… what do you think about this business idea?”

I’m the one who has been all over the place and putting too much on our plate.

I’m the one with the chaos because, fun fact: every entrepreneur is a little bit crazy.

But God handpicked this one for me.

She is the calm in the middle of my storm.

She is my oasis when I feel like I’m drowning in the sands of life.

And she’s also good with numbers but she is waaay smarter than I am.

If you ever wonder where my balance comes from, it’s her.

I still don’t know how she can spot risk from a mile away.

She doesn’t wing it. No guesswork. She orchestrates the intricate processes of a bigger vision, from inception to flawless execution.

And that is why I give anyone and everyone a free pass to SLAP ME THREE TIMES the day you hear Yvonne and I are divorced! 👋👋👋

Because this woman right here has built a full career in corporate, local and overseas, raised our two kids, and still somehow continues to put up with my endless “wait… I have an idea!”

Today, I celebrate my wife, my best friend, my high school sweetheart of 20 years all the way from @AchimotaSchool to London School of Business and Finance (@LSBFeducation).

She’s always been there.

So Happy Happy Birthday! I wish you all of life’s joys and blessings. I love you Ivy! 🖤

Live long and prosper! 🖖

Looking at this picture… yeah I now understand why they asked for my age every. single. time! 😅

Your ideas need ‘grey hair verification’ to be taken seriously in Ghana often times and that’s the uncomfortable truth.

Still happens. Just not as much as before.

Thankfully after some decades, stress is really sponsoring my 24-hour grey hair supply 😂

The more I read the news, the more I realise the push to go green is no longer optional; it’s necessary.

Yet, oil continues to dominate headlines and shape our daily lives. From fuel prices to food costs, its influence is still deeply embedded in our local and global economy.

Every single fluctuation reminds us just how dependent we remain.

The transition to cleaner energy is underway, but it’s not happening overnight. It requires time, infrastructure, policy shifts, and collective will. Progress is real, but so are the challenges.

And while many of us hope for a faster shift, it’s understandable to be cautious about how quickly meaningful change will happen.

The real question on my mind is, how do we accelerate the transition without disrupting livelihoods and economies in the process?

Have a good evening!

[Dr. Maxwell Ampong @thisisthemax]

I am at my core non-confrontational. But I don’t shy away from one. Not anymore.

Deep down, I can still sense the Sunday School boy who believes good goes to heaven, bad goes to hell. Good people prosper, and bad people go to jail.

Maybe that’s why I never instigate confrontation. I never deliberately break my promise or go back on my word within a contract, spoken or written.

I believe there is strength in community, partnership, and camaraderie. I believe they are effective protective mechanisms in today’s ever-changing world, and I stand by them.

But of course, life has a way of teaching you that there are good people in jail, and bad people who are prospering. That doesn’t make me want to be bad. It makes me not want to engage with dishonourable people.

When I can’t predict you, I’m transactional and readily combative. Every time it happens, I go back and check if I’m in the wrong. I self-reflect and look at the full picture from the beginning, regardless of whatever snapshot my instigator concentrates on. Because who I am deep within will drive who and what I become, ergo what I build.

So when I get combative, I check whether I'm wielding a sword or a shield. Am I attacking or defending myself? I don’t care how it looks to onlookers. I care if I can look at myself in the mirror and say “you did good”. After many hours of a session yesterday, someone blurted out “it’s not easy being a CEO oo” and ooh she is right. So so right.

These are some of the things I struggle with, and that’s life. Figuring things out never ends, and that’s ok. Because that’s life.

P.S: That’s Raymond. He’s been a man of his word with me, an honourable man. Life is so easy when people keep their word.

I’m pleased to share my appointment as Official Transaction Advisor to the Millennium Excellence Foundation.

The Foundation operates under the patronage of His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, and plays a significant role in advancing African excellence and global engagement across sectors.

In this role, I will be leading transaction advisory efforts across the Foundation’s corporate fundraising and financing initiatives, working closely with financial institutions, corporate partners, and key stakeholders to structure and execute strategic engagements.

I look forward to contributing to initiatives that drive meaningful impact, while supporting the Foundation’s broader vision of connecting African excellence with global opportunities.

For well over a decade, I’ve been in the trenches of the African business ecosystem, learning what works, what doesn’t, and how quickly the rules can shift. I’ve been in countless situations where policies exist on paper, but in reality, outcomes depend on context, timing, and who’s sitting across the table.

I’ve navigated boardrooms and conference rooms in urban Ghana just as much as I’ve sat on wooden benches breaking bread with Alhajis and rural leaders in the North. Different worlds, same objective. I want to understand people, build trust, and get things done the right way towards a win-win outcome.

This journey has been deliberate, consistent, and deeply intentional. It has required long hours, uncomfortable conversations, and learning to listen more than I speak. I’ve had to earn credibility the slow way, never demanding it, but always working for it.

What many see today is just a snapshot. What they don’t see are the years of showing up, adapting, failing, recalibrating, and pushing forward anyway. People in Burkina, Togo, Mali, Ivory Coast opened their arms and doors for me way before I could even get meetings with some Ghanaian CEOs.

In Africa, execution is a mix of strategy and nuance. It’s knowing when to follow the rules, when to question them, and how to operate when they inevitably change overnight.

So no, I’m not new here. I’ve simply learned that the loudest proof of experience isn’t always in how you present yourself, even though knowing how to present yourself still matters. That balance is something everyone learns in their own way.

I am still learning. I am still building. And I am still very much in the trenches just as much as when we started. I just navigate better now.
