Living my life out loud one day at a time

2020 has been a strange year for me, for everyone. There have been very good days and some not so good days. However, from experience I have noticed that dwelling on the not so good days robs us of so much joy sometimes taking us to a place that is not very good.  

That is not what I want to dwell on today, Instead, I would like to wish you a happy new year and  hope that the joy and glow that you have right now will continue to the new year and beyond. 


In the coming year I am hoping to write more and specifically share about my journey as a woman in STEAM. Just to walk the journey with you on what it has been like. 

Am excited about the year coming and am excited to go at it one day at a time. 

See you soon!

Transitioning from Employment to Entrepreneurship: 5 Essential Steps to Prepare for Success by Primera Muthoni  When you go from being an employee to starting your own business, it's both exciting and hard. It gives you freedom, innovation, and the chance to follow your interests, but it also requires careful planning and preparation.  Let me share some of the five most important steps I believe you need to take to move from working for someone else to being your own boss. Let's start this fun journey together! Step 1: Describe your business idea and vision Before you jump in, you should be clear on your goals and business ideas. Think about your interests, skills, and knowledge, and find an area where your skills match up with what the market wants. Do a thorough market study to see if your idea can work and if it has the ability to grow. Define your purpose, beliefs, and long-term goals to start your business journey off on the right foot. Step 2: Make a good plan for your m...

Don’t wait for Folks to Get Woke!: Hack 22 from the book LeapFrog by Nathalie Molina Nino

  by Primera Muthoni A quiet change is happening among women who have been helping each other for a long time in the background. This is happening in a world that often values competition over teamwork. This blog is for all the women who have been supporting each other behind the scenes because they do not want to say it out loud. We need to stop keeping things secret and create a community that works best when everyone helps each other and feels strong. The author, who is a strong supporter of women, starts by recognising the many women who have helped their peers succeed without being noticed, maybe thinking it was something they did "on the side." It became clear that this secret support system, even though it had good intentions, was actually hurting things. Many women work alone because they do not want anyone to know about their efforts.  Nathalie says, "Since then, I have come to the conclusion that being covert about helping other women wasn’t serving anyone....

"How Women Rise: Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back" by Sally Helgesen and Marshall Goldsmith looks at the usual things that keep women from getting to the top of their jobs.  Let me summarise the 12 habits that will help you find your leadership potential. This is one of the best books I have ever read. I've put it on the shelf, but I keep going back to it.  Habit 1: Not taking credit for what you've done Women often downplay their achievements because they expect others to recognise them on their own. To break this habit, you have to learn to take credit for your accomplishments and promote yourself with confidence. Habit 2: Hoping that people will notice and reward your hard work on their own. Your job can suffer if you think that other people sh...
