Click https://youtu.be/QP4HxouhL18 to listen

This video trailer is a public service announcement. I explain how a PortHarcourt based “company” has listed my name, for years, as one of its Directors on a web based business directory, despite my effort to remove it.

I also share two interesting anecdotes about how some naughty clients (in the past), used my name for their business purposes, without my knowledge or consent.

Lastly, I explain why you need to be vigilant in checking for, detecting and challenging such acts…AND most importantly taking steps to protect yourself e.g. by publishing a disclaimer.

WANT TO GET PROMOTED/SUCCEED ON YOUR JOB? ALWAYS GO THE EXTRA MILE-My UK Brewing Course Photos/Story

A year before I left Guinness Nigeria (to pursue my longstanding dream of self-employment), I was nominated, along with a senior colleague, to attend a 6 week International Brewing Course – organized by the UK based Institute Of Brewing (IOB).

The course was attended by over 20 delegates from Argentina, Holland, Hungary, Japan, Croatia, USA, Nigeria etc.

WANT-TO-GET-PROMOTED-VID

Some of the photos in this video’s thumbnail (larger versions appear in the video proper) show me with some of my fellow attendees from brewing companies in their respective countries.

During the 6 week programme, we were taken on tours across breweries and related establishments, research institutes and tourist attractions in the UK (especially England, Wales, and Scotland). The experiences I had, along with the knowledge I was exposed to, were truly enriching.

I have no doubt in my mind that my workplace accomplishments in developing and implementing time, and effort saving spreadsheet automation solutions across multiple departments, using my spare time, was key to my getting nominated to attend that prestigious event, despite being only 6 years old in the company.

It is my hope that as I share my experiences through this podcast series, others nursing ambitions to excel in paid employment will find the insights I offer useful.
