Over 60 academics and entrepreneurs from ten African countries in one room as I 'pilot' an international workshop on 'Entrepreneurship and Innovation' in Nairobi this week along side the incredible dream team and RECIRCULATE colleagues.
It was amazing to see how within 24 hours, these Young Africans came up with incredible ideas and solutions that can tackle African problems within the circular water economy. When the African youth get it together, there will be a flood of prosperity!!! Then yesterday I wrapped up the second day with a talk on 'Growing your career in Africa- Networks and Resources' and after the one hour session, I received invitations from four institutions to do a full one day session to all their staff and partners in their different countries.
The problem is not the availability of resources but the accessibility of the same and when you understand networks, you should know that your are a global professional who only happens to be living in your country of residence. It's all about perspectives.

SOUTH AFRICA check
So in my work I train and advise universities, corporate organisations and government agencies all over Africa.
An interesting engagement for me in the last six months has been in churches where I have been getting increasing invitations to give talks about purposeful lives and careers.
There is a reason why this is so I believe. Firstly, in Africa churches are incredibly influential and shape hundreds of millions of lives.
50% of Christians have never had a sermon about work; 70% of Christians have never been taught the etiology of work; and 74% of Christians think work is a nuisance. But if data shows that 70% of daily life is spent in work, how can you make the difference that's needed. That's what I speak about!!!! So I ended my Southern Africa tour with a powerful session at the Higher Grace Church Pretoria. When I saw many people crying after the disruptions from feeling liberated, I knew I was in the right place!!! What I didn’t expect though was that after service, the pastor would call me out and ask me to open my hands for people to bless me with cash. But then I see many things on my travels and this was up there!!! It was incredibly humbling!! Now back home to catch a breather before my next assignment.

BOTSWANA ✔️ So just concluded piloting an international workshop in Botswana where along side colleagues we hosted over 50 young professionals from eight African countries.
Before then my dad, mum, siblings and friends rang severally to be safe on my travels cos of Corona so I got myself a mask.
Well stop by Joburg yesterday and now in Pretoria for the last leg of my Southern Africa Disruption Tour. Had an amazing time with some young professionals today and it was great to see a mother, her son and his wife all get transformed for a new life.
Tomorrow I give a big talk at the Higher Grace Church Pretoria on 'To Tend not Toil - expanding your career space' and it's going to be a wrap.

SHOW ME THE MONEY!
It’s amazing time in #Botswana with the Lancaster University team reviewing the programme for the week.
I am looking forward to getting into the pilot seat this week as I lead an international workshop on knowledge exchange with amazing #Lancaster colleagues on the back of the UK Government GCRF-funded 7 million pounds Lancaster University RECIRCULATE project tackling the circular water economy in Africa. This week over 50 people from seven Africa countries are on my training flight.
Last week I got news of another grant I have won with an amazing team to run a series of programmes in #Cameroun and #Angola this year (Francophone & Lusophone Africa). This year, I’ll be winning lot of grants because I know exactly what to do and train Universities & organisations about resource mobilisation as part of my Programme on Internationalization of #Education (PIE). How can you be looking for money and yet you don't know who gives money or how to ask for it!!! Hit me up if your institution or organisation needs training in this area.
LET ME SHOW YOU THE MONEY!!! Also join my telegram career group - https://lnkd.in/dF4Nk4Q #africa #zambia #malawi #angola #botswana #francophone #water #education #cameroun #institution #knowledgeexchange #internationalstudents
