It is Monday and let’s be honest how many of us like Mondays? A lot of people wake up every morning and say I cannot believe that I have to do this all over again! As you travel to work you can see that the excitement that a lot of people had on Friday has long been replaced by a feeling of dreed as people travel far near to go to the jobs that will pay their bills. A few years ago, I met a man who dreamt to do a lot of things in his life, he got the…read more >

I was working in particular place a couple years ago and after just been in that department for six weeks something went wrong. I found myself in situation were the team was against me and my manager was talking about performance review despite being in the department for only a short period of time. I remember leaving my manager’s office and just going walking down the road and asking myself why everyone was against me. The world felt very lonely at that moment as I walked down the road not knowing where I was going. I paused for a moment…read more >

Over the last few months I have been involved with a group of people talking about different topics on Zambia’s political landscape. I am passionate about my Country of birth and I wanted to contribute. I got involved just before the Zambian Elections last August. I took a couple months break after the birth of my son. A few days ago after a very long presentation and having a chat with the rest of the crew after the broadcast I walked to my sofa which was going to be my bed for the night as I did not want to…read more >

Over the last few years the EDI conversation has really heated up, a lot more organisations are talking about EDI and EDI leads have been appointed in a lot of organisations. A lot of people will argue that this is step forward and on paper it is a step forward. However, I am still not excited by this development for a number of reasons, first of all let me take you a step back on my own journey. Over a year ago I started working in the eye department, this was like a dream for me because I have an…read more >

At the end of last month my wife and I welcomed a little boy in the world. it was the most amazing moments of my life. I can still remember how wonderful I felt as I held this little bundle of joy in my arms for the first time. However, this feeling was quickly over shadowed by a feeling of responsibility, I was now responsible for a life, the way I will bring this little boy will have an impact on their future. My life was changed in what seemed to be in a twinkling of an eye. My responsible…read more >

This week I am looking at chapter 7 of my book Arise Shine which I tilted Faith. A lot of times when we are working on our goals we expect to get the results we want if we do what needs to be done but sometimes life does not always work out this way. In 2007 I had set a goal to go university, this goal was so important to me because it was going to give me a chance for a better future. However, I discovered that things are not always going to work out the way I thought…read more >

It has been over 10 years since the equality and diversity act of 2010 was introduced and we have not seen a great deal of improvement as was anticipated. There have been some improvements but even though a lot of organisations are happy with the improvement that has been made, progress has been very slow. For a lot of organisation equality and diversity is at the back of their priorities, it is something that is looked at now and again but not in great details. Government institutions are required to have mandatory training of which equality and diversity is one.…read more >

The first two jobs I had after graduating from university taught me that if I wanted to succeed then I had to ensure that my work colleagues do not beat me. This is where the journey of fighting other people began, I did this for the next seven years. I believed that if I wanted to be successful I had to be better than everyone around me so as you can imagine I did not make a very good team player. In one of my jobs I gained a lot of respect from senior management so much so that the…read more >

There is always a buzz of excitement at the beginning of every new journey because we anticipate so much from it. We think of all the good new skills we are going to learn and we think of how wonderful the people are going to be. These are all the feelings I had when I left a job I had done for nearly four years last November. I was really looking forward to a new challenge because changing jobs for me is very big deal because of my eye condition. I like things to stay the same but I realised…read more >

It was my first day of working in a city called Bristol and as I don’t drive i was going to have to make my journey to work on train. I was just getting into personal development. I did not know what areas to go into but the journeys to and from Bristol gave me a great insight on human behaviour. The one experience that stands out to me was one of the man who did not like his job and he always talked about all the other things that he wanted to do instead of the job he was…read more >
