Womenlines takes pleasure to share about a powerful campaign in Nigeria named ‘Building Young Entrepreneurs(BYE)’. Founder Bright Oloyo, Motivational speaker, Business consultant, mentor, career coach and C.E.O of Black Pride Multipurpose Company, with a collection of seasoned Entrepreneurs from around the world are embarking on a rescue mission “Building Young Entrepreneurs” across Nigeria, Africa’s most populous black nation. This campaign is based on the theme ‘Steering  Young  Minds Towards Entrepreneurship and  Good  Leadership.’ Considered to be the biggest campaign running over 1000 schools across Nigeria. Motivational speaker and CEO of Self Development Success Fran Allen is sharing with Womenlines why she has decided to support BYE campaign-

Using my life experiences to mentor, guide, direct and up-lift others has been the hallmark of my life. I don’t believe that we go through any of the experiences of our lives for no reason. From the beginning to the end – our lives have meaning and purpose – whether we know or believe it. I was taught as a child by my shero’s (Frances Kelley, Mother; Belle Kelley, Grandmother; and Alfie Kelley, Aunt), that nothing was impossible for me if I wanted it bad enough and was willing to do the work necessary to achieve my goal. I lived my life by this belief and passed the same to my children. 

As the years have passed I have shared this belief with all the young people I have had the honour to mentor and advise. While their names are too many to recall, they know who they are and that they all hold a special place in my heart!  Now I have decided to open this same desire to help and commitment to pour into the children of Nigeria, through the BYE Campaign. I know in the depths of my soul that these deserving children have immeasurable potential, skills and talents. It is my express intention to inspire them to search for their own greatness and work to develop it into the powerful contribution to their families, communities, nation and the world that they and only they possess. 

This is my generational investment for securing the stability of humanity moving forward and past my time on this earth. 

We all can do something. This is my something. It’s GO TIME!!!

DREAM HUGE, WORK YOUR BUTT OFF, and NEVER EVER QUIT!!!!!

Fran Allen

CEO of Self  Development Success

Jahnavi is sharing her knowledge with Womenlines readers through her Social Branding Series…

When I was eighteen I read a Chinese proverb “Good intentions are not enough”.It took me a long time to understand the meaning of the words utterly “Be Yourself” is like “follow your bliss” these words are like gems that fall under the category of well-intentioned but infuriating Its meant to inspire you but it makes you think how unclear you are about your path in life It may mean, it’s hard to figure out what you want, don’t get stressed, just go with the flow, do what you love and the money will follow. But do you know what’s that something which is just outside your reach and you can’t figure out what it is that will give you the bliss? If someone tells you to do something that you like and you can’t remember a single thing you like.If someone says you will be happy if you do what you like and if you do what interests you then you will be good at it and if you are good at it then you will make money. You want nothing more than to be successful!

You want to be a girl boss have girl power. You want to be more than just a mediocre person, you want to hustle hard You want to follow your dreams provided you knew where your dreams were! Now you can do some soul searching, find out what you are really jealous of , what do you want that your friends have, have you heard your own Story what is it that you have secretly hidden deep within the crevices of your mind, let’s unearth the treasure house. Our Story is there to teach us some great lessons, so tell me how you can get out of your own way by trusting your own crazy ideas.

You deserve to have everything that you think you want no matter how much ridiculous you may think it is for you to have it. We will make sure you admit to yourself what you want, however difficult it may be for you to do it and you will learn to handle your fear and start taking baby steps to take actions however small they may be. We will set the ball rolling, you will definitely get results but first, you must identify that you cannot get the results doing the same things you have been doing all these days. You must identify something tangible may be a specific amount of money, a job, a relationship a particular lifestyle to achieve results. Specificity is the Key! I will teach you a process where you can work with your ego if it comes in the way of breaking down your exact want, which should really be what you want and not what you think you should want.

Email me at jaahnavikatti@gmail.com Do the scary thing, take the risk I want to hear about what you want, let’s discuss about your dreams, tell me your Story!!

Womenlines takes pleasure to welcome Shirley Taylor as a guest Influencer at Womenlines panel. Shirley is a leading authority on business writing and communication skills and an international bestselling author. In her article, Shirley wants organizations to check which style of email communication are they following and she is also sharing tips on how  to add a human touch in communication?

I’m so glad to have received a great response to my message recent article ‘Don’t write like a robot. Make a human difference’. You may remember that I compared two different emails, one that sounded like a robot, and another that sounded like a human being.

This week, let’s explore the different styles of communication throughout history. Whatever the era, it seems to me that communication has always been rather like a dance.

1919: The Waltz

In the first half of the 20th century, the wheels of commerce turned very slowly, so communication was a slow dance, rather like a waltz. People kept each other at a distance, they built relationships very slowly, as they moved around the dance floor… one two three, one two three, one two three.

And yes, when they wrote letters and memos, on their manual typewriters, they still danced the waltz, with their long sentences, formal language, and passive voice.

2019: The Cha-Cha-Cha

Today, we need to get to know people quickly, so we are more informal and friendly. Today our dance is like a cha-cha-cha. It’s lively, full of energy, a little playful… one two cha-cha-cha, one two cha-cha-cha, one two cha-cha-cha.

However, something strange happens when we put our fingers on our computer keyboard to write an email. Suddenly our writing becomes more formal, with passive voice, long sentences, and flowery words. We switch back to a waltz!

Today, many people have two voices – one voice for speaking and a different voice for writing. 

Let me share an example from a huge organisation I worked within one of the most modern countries in the world – Singapore. Their aims were to stand out from the competition with a customer-friendly attitude that’s approachable, warm, and caring.

If you called their hotline, you may hear a recorded message saying, “Hey, we’re sorry, we’re on another call right now. Hang tight and we’ll be with you very soon.”

But then… when they emailed customers, they were writing things like this: 

This email sounds like something that could be written by a robot that’s programmed to perfection.

What’s happening in your organisation?

Are your emails like a cha-cha-cha? Do they sound like a human voice, friendly and warm, with everyday language and active voice?

Or are your emails more like a waltz? Do they sound like a robot, cold, formal and distant, very monotone and template?

In business today, we need to get things done quickly, we need to connect, build relationships and create trust. This will happen quicker with the human voice.

Let’s work together to make a human difference

 I would love to work with you and your organisation to bring back the human touch to all your communications. Let’s encourage all our teams to make a human difference. Check out my popular signature business writing programme here. I can customise this training especially for you and do this as half-day, one-day or two-day. Just let me know what works for you.

Womenlines is delighted to start a series ‘Go Green Campaign’ to create awareness among womenfolk to adopt conservation of the environment as a part of their lifestyle! As a start, you can watch this video, produced by the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR).

MEWR has designated 2019 as the Year Towards Zero Waste. They want to rally Singaporeans to treasure their resources and make it a habit to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. You can find out more about our Zero Waste Vision at www.towardszerowaste.sg

Facts-(credit https://www.towardszerowaste.sg/zero-waste-nation/)

1. In Singapore, waste disposed of has increased seven-fold over the past 40 years. About 7.7 million tonnes of waste was generated in 2017. This amount is enough to fill 15,000 Olympic-size swimming pools!
2. Every day, about 79% of our domestic waste generated will be incinerated at one of our four waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration plants. However, the more waste we incinerate, the higher our carbon footprint – this contributes to global warming and climate change.
3. Semakau Landfill is Singapore’s one and only landfill. It receives more than 2,000 tonnes of WTE incineration ash and non- incinerable waste daily. At our current rate of waste growth, Semakau Landfill will run out of space by 2035.

How will Singapore achieve  Zero Waste vision?

Singapore will adopt a circular economy approach to sustainable waste and resource management. Singapore will strive to close the waste loop, just like how they have closed the water loop by recycling water endlessly!

Womenlines wants to request the readers to have a look at the video to learn various ways to how they can contribute in Go Green Campaign!!

Let Excellence be your brand!

It is a pleasure to share about Senior Physiotherapist Shubhangi Gaikwad from the United Arab Emirates as an  Influencer for health and fitness at Womenlines panel. A Dedicated PT offering 7 years of acute-chronic care experience; a history of “exemplary” ratings on performance reviews; solid credentials that include, BLS/Dry needling/Manual Therapy certifications /certified FMT and a master’s degree in physical therapy in Neurology. Background includes work with pediatric, adolescent, adult and geriatric patients. This month Shubhangi is sharing tips for how to drive without pain-

In this article, I would like to take the attention of our women followers over the issue which is one of the most advancing factors in relation to pain. Yes, its “Driving”.

Nowadays women are independent and driving most of the time of their own. Many girls who have sales and marketing jobs they spend most of the time behind the wheels. And of course the homemaker, who have responsibilities of the whole house in their shoulder, they keep driving most of the time from picking up and dropping kids, going for shopping, taking a family member to hospital etc, etc, And eventually, we end up in pain in various joints and muscle.

To avoid these, Definitely exercises help us. But another way to avoid these pains is to follow the below preventive steps.

• SINGLE HAND DRIVING: When you drive with one hand there is constant elevation and depression in your shoulder, pulling one side of your paraspinal muscle and constant contraction in your hip muscle. Moreover when you take steep round turns that makes it worse with the extra load on neck and back muscles with constant vigorous firing in buttocks unilaterally. And the arm chilling in window sill getting weaker & weaker day by day. This imbalance between two sides ends up into postural abnormalities.
• Avoid SUPER STRAIGHT SITTING: Constant arching in spine cause fatigue of back muscles. Best way to achieve perfect seating posture is to take your spine into maximum arched position and then release 10% pressure from your back. Use inbuilt lumbar support in your driving seat, inflate it up to the level, so as your hip or waistline does not move forward and you end up in hyperextension of the lower back.  If you don’t have inbuilt lumbar support use adjustable cushion available in the market. Also, do not slouch it can give you hunch back.
• WATCH & REMIND YOUR SHOULDER: Hold your wheel in 10-2 o’clock position, maintaining the bend in your elbow. Keep your shoulders relax, unknowingly we shrug our shoulder which makes yours muscle fatigued. So watch out and keep calm around the shoulders.
• SHOES DOES MATTER: Yes! Don’t forget to readjust your seat whenever you are changing your footwear. There will be a definite change in hip and knee angle when you wear thick sole shoes and when you wear flats, which can lead to forwarding rotation in one side of pelvis giving undue pressure in the buttock area and compensatory rotation in spine & shoulder. For ladies who wear a high heel, there are chances of calf muscle strain, shin pain and unwanted knee issues. Try to keep a comfortable pair of shoes for driving.
• HAIR STYLE … Attention girls : I have noticed many girls with big bun and ponytail, keep their neck away from headrest even when they can relax while waiting for signal to open, this leads to stiff neck at the end of the day with neck spasm, and repetitive practise of this leads to straightening of  natural cervical curvature  and this the beginning of the scary term “Cervical Spondylosis”.  So girls be careful, my suggestion is to use a neck pillow, so your neck musculature can take a break, while you shine with your gorgeous look.

Tips for fun driving:

No, don’t exercise while you drive, follow the simple and fun points:

• Use hand brake while in signals. Relax your legs and take off your hand from wheels.
• Check out the cars on your sides, for this, you will move your neck from right to left and repeat, better than grabbing your cellphone and look down to check messages.
• Enjoy music it’s the best stress buster.
• Bhangra groves, yes move your shoulder up &down while enjoying music,  see you just worked on your trapezius.

If you have any query regarding any exercises, don’t hesitate to ask in the comment section.
