Hello there!



Myself and @Romunu Precious will be doing a little challenge. Every week, we will read a chapter from Mr Kenrick’s book and then write about it on Saturday.

Book title: Personal Branding

Ps: If you attended the Revamp Conference 2025, then you probably already have your copy.

What really is personal branding?

What comes to your mind when you hear the word personal branding?

For me, I used to think it meant brand enhancement. You know, something for people who already have a brand and just want to sell it better. While that idea isn’t totally wrong, it was only half the truth.

Mr K’s first chapter opened my eyes. He made it clear that we all have brands. We are all brands. And every day, we are leaving lasting experiences, whether we mean to or not.

He said and I quote, “Branding is identity expressed with consistency and clarity.”

Identity = You.

So branding is simply expression. Giving expression to your being in a consistent way and making sure your message is clear.

Two things stood out for me in chapter one. Branding involves:

• Knowing your worth. Your worth is the unique mix of skills, experience, expertise and values that make you feel like you.

• Communicating these qualities to the world. This is your story told your own way.

Dearest reader, I’ll leave you with this. Your light is not what you do, it is who you are. And when who you are aligns with what you do, that is authentic personal branding.

See you at chapter two, same time next week.

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
