People … staff … contractors … managers … clients … women … men …

Love them or hate them, you have to deal with them unless you are going to go and live under a rock. You wouldn’t make much of an impact on the world and I’ll bet you’d get lonely sooner or later.
Does the perfect person exist? No, but everyone can work on it.
Imagine a person who:
Is willing to help, benefit and serve others.
Takes control of situations and make it come out right.
Who really cares, and takes responsibility for mistakes.
Communicates what you need to know, so you can make correct decisions.
Is interested in you, your organisation and their job.
Keeps their promises and follows through on deadlines.
Is a fit for their role and the culture of your organisation.
Delivers valuable results and makes statistics grow.
Sounds like a dream, but almost everyone is capable of these qualities.
These are the hallmarks of a valuable person, employee, business owner, associate, etc.
No matter where a person is on the scale, they can lift themselves up.
Let’s take up each point:
Willing to help, benefit & serve others
Help means to improve a situation or problem, to offer services or resources which make it easier for someone or something to succeed.
The more you help, the more successful you can become. It is true of a person and a business.
All organisations should help their customers, staff, suppliers etc.
Help comes in many forms:
An understanding ear, when you’ve got a problem.
The right advice when you need it.
Someone who’s got your back.
Getting the job done no matter what.
Any service which makes your life easier.
Staff who do their jobs well.
Even the janitor who cleans your toilets is helping you!
The list is endless.
And don’t forget to help yourself! Learning new skills, doing something you enjoy (that is beneficial) are all part of a successful life.
When you look closely, every role in an organisation exists to provide some form of help.
Valuable people help others.
Valuable organisations help all stakeholders.
Controlling Situations to a Positive Outcome
I’m not talking about governmental “control” — taxes, silly laws and red tape. Nor am I talking about destructive people who dominate and injure others for their own benefit.
Control means the power to influence or direct people’s behaviour, or the course of events.
If you don’t control your car it crashes
If you don’t control your finances you end up in debt.
If you don’t control your staff, your business fails.
Situations that aren’t controlled end in disaster. Situations with a successful outcome, had someone exerting power and influence.
Someone ever stop you from walking out in front of a car? They controlled you … wasn’t so bad eh?
People love control which involves their benefit.
They don’t always like it at the time, but sane people will thank you in the end.
People Who Really Care and Take Responsibility for Mistakes
No one is perfect. We all make mistakes. Sometimes they’re hard to admit!
Show me a person who never makes an error and I’ll show you a person who never does anything! I’d rather deal with effective people who make the occasional error, than a “saint” in an ivory tower.

Female Youth Corper Sent Tongues Wagging As She Steps Out In A Porsche Car For Clearance In Abuja

A yet t be identified female graduate observing her National Youth Service Corp programme in Abuja caused a stir when she came in a vehicle worth over N20 million. A Twitter user shared these photos of a female NYSC member who came for her clearance in a Porsche Cayman car in Abuja yesterday. He wrote;  “Somebody came with this to come and do the same NYSC Biometrics! I am going back to Yola! Abuja, thank you! I now have exposure! ” The starting price of the exotic car is N20.5 million and it goes way higher than that depending on the year it was made. The identity of the young lady remains unknown but there are rumours that she is from an elite family. This further buttresses the point made by people that serving in Abuja is very intimidating as one would have to contend colleagues who are from very wealthy families or have spent most of their lives studying and living abroad.

Networking tips that will boost your career!

People are always saying 'use your connections', but how do you do this without seeming desperate or bothersome? Here’s some sound advice to get you started. Tell them your story People always remember a good story, share details of your background, give insight and funny anecdotes about who you are and your experiences. When you make people smile or empathise they are more likely to remember you and leave a lasting impression. Next time you meet they’ll recall the guy with that funny story rather than the one who spoke only about what kind of job he wanted. Be clear, to the point and very specific Don’t be vague, don’t try and keep your options open by not being clear about what you want. So when someone with connections asks what you’re looking for – be ready with a confident answer “ I am looking for a Senior Finance role within the oil and gas industry”. When that opportunity arises your connections will immediately think of you. Be that someone they want to talk...
