Womenlines welcomes Anji Hallewell as an Influencer of Positive Mindset on the Womenlines panel. Anji is a Speaker, Coach, Trainer on Self-Mastery & Performance and Founder of Natural Genius Academy. In her sharing for this month, Anji is sharing ultimate tips to how to be more productive in work by managing emotions-

We’ve all been in that situation where you’ve said or done something that you later wish you’d handled differently, but emotions took over. Whether that is snapping at a family member, being too head-strong in a meeting or using the wrong choice of words, there are moments that you wish you could rewind and do differently. Sadly, until such a device exists for you to rewind time, the answer is to get a better handle on your emotions.

I get it, you are a busy professional and you have a lot on your plate. It’s difficult to keep it together all the time and I can assure you that you are not alone. The constant demands, deadlines, meetings, lack of desk time, the growing to-do list and the internal miscommunication is not only chaotic but can push you to your limits!

One of the biggest complaints that I hear from professionals is their self-proclaimed inability to manage their emotions. They know it is happening, but they have no idea what to do about it. So, let me help you a little with this as I know firsthand how draining at can be in you. Here are 3 key things that opened up a different reality for me when it came to managing my emotions:

Your Choice of Words

When you are articulating how you are feeling, to yourself or otherwise, your choice of words are really important. When you get angry, you may say “I am angry”, but are you the anger? Whilst the sky has clouds in it, you don’t mistake the clouds for the sky. It’s the same with you and the emotions that are present. You do not become the emotion; you merely experience the emotion. There is a very subtle, yet impactful, change that you can make in your choice of words. Instead of saying “I am angry” try “I am experiencing anger” instead. It creates distance between you and the emotion, making it clear that it is something separate from you. People often tell me that it somehow doesn’t feel as intense, so it’s less likely to escalate to a point that it completely takes over.

Emotions will Always Pass

The very nature of emotions is that they are bundles of energy. And energy moves. The clue is in the name, e-motion. The energy in motion. Therefore, any emotion that you experience will always move on. As a busy professional working in a multinational, pulling an average of 60-hours per week, I used to get frustrated A LOT! Understanding that it would always pass really helped me because I could remind myself that the feeling of frustration would not last forever. It meant that there was always an end in sight. In a strange kind of way, knowing this generated a sense of hope and peace of mind which made it feel ok.

Don’t Block their Path

Building on from the above point, the learnt tendency when you experience an unpleasant emotion is to clamp down on it – to stop it in its tracks. But all that does is stops it from moving on. It would be like putting the barrier down on a car as it’s trying to exit a carpark and then expecting the car to just disappear. We want to resist unpleasant emotions because we don’t like how they feel. But all emotions are data points for us. They can tell us when someone has overstepped the mark or perhaps when insecurity has been triggered within us. So, instead of seeing some as “good” and others as “bad”, life would be easier if we accepted all emotions as being there, so they can pass on by.

In closing, emotions are everything, they are the driving force behind all your actions, behaviours, words and state of mind. When you treat them equally and understand them, you can take positive steps to manage your emotions and maintaining the status quo. Leaving you feeling calm and collected no matter what is happening. It’s not going to happen overnight, but continual practice will see you on the path to self-mastery.

In the ‘Professional Expert of the Month’ section, Womenlines takes pleasure to share about Communication Coach from Switzerland Amy Carroll.

Amy leads programs worldwide working with multinationals, independently and in partnership with Pat Kirkland Leadership. More specifically, Amy coaches clients to become more dynamic, effective and candid communicators, developing their ability to influence others by creating powerful partnerships. Read in her own words and listen to her about her journey as a Communication Coach-

Q1. What challenges did you face when you started your journey as a communication coach?

In the beginning, I felt like an imposter because I didn’t fully believe I knew what I was doing. It was a matter of time and consistent experience/exposure to successful outcomes which built my confidence and melted away that feeling of being a fraud. I’ve since discovered that, at the start of a new career, many people have similar experiences of this ‘imposter’ syndrome. I have since embraced this feeling and know that it may appear from time to time whenever I embark on new adventures and challenges.

Q2. What according to you is the key to excelling in communication skills?

A willingness to change and the desire to communicate with respect for yourself and others.

Q3. What pitfalls does one need to avoid while communicating, is there a stark difference in professional and personal communication?

In my opinion, there’s not a significant difference between personal and professional communication. In fact, the more open and honest a person is willing to be, regardless of the relationship, the more trust they build. Pitfalls to avoid while communicating include the need to be right, the need to push our opinion and the resistance to listening to others especially when you disagree.

Q4. What are the shifts your coachees can look forward to while working with you?

Many of my coachees find themselves having big ‘Ah Ha’ moments regarding their behaviours or attitude, realising how they have unintentionally been sabotaging their relationships and results. Coachees have reported their ability to get more of what they want, more often, with less difficulty. They also notice an increase in their confidence, courage and joy!

Q5. Your source of inspiration?

I have two sources of inspiration. My desire is to contribute to world peace, helping people evolve their communication consciously by handling, dissipating and even eliminating conflict with the least amount of damage. My second source of inspiration is my sister Pat Kirkland for developing herself both personally and professionally and

creating a communication model: Predator, Prey, Partner®, that is teaching people to communicate greater respect for themselves and others.

Q6. What should our audience be looking out for from you for the next 5 months?

I’ll be running a 90-minute webinar on 21st June in conjunction with Leadership Demystified and Media partners Womenlines and Human Capital, introducing the ‘Predator, Prey, Partner® model’ (Leadership Demystified Webinars has requested Rs. 2500 for the Webinar.

Visit Leadership Demystified Webinars https://www.facebook.com/groups/322250961835979/   to know details about the webinar.

In July I’m very excited to be launching my 2-day intensive program specifically for couples, which is modelled after my highly successful Leadership Presence training: Partner Your Partner https://www.carrollcoaching.com/partner-your-partner.
Additionally, I’ll be running my Leadership Presence course for leaders at all levels in London in October https://www.carrollcoaching.com/openprogram.

BUILDING YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS (BYE) CAMPAIGN – THE MOST AWAITED EDUCATIONAL EVENT IN NIGERIA FOR 2019.

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.

An interview of Mr Bright Oloyo Founder and convener of the BYE campaign by Womenlines-

1. What is the reason behind this initiative?

In the face of growing unemployment coupled with an education system that is designed to produce job seekers rather than job creators, the importance of a mindset change of school-age children in Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. The focus should be the creation and management of new small businesses which actually make the success stories of developed economies.

2. What are the aims and objectives of this campaign?

The campaign in collaboration with the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) and a collection of seasoned entrepreneurs from around the world is designed to steer young minds in entrepreneurial and Industry Leadership skills, to prepare them for the challenges therein and provide them with the needed guidelines required to succeed. It is to also identify and provide support in the form of coaching and mentoring for these future leaders.

3. Who is your target audience?

The campaign is targeted at secondary/high school students across the country. An estimated one thousand secondary/high schools and fifty thousand (50,000) Students are expected to benefit across the various locations.

4. Why the choice of secondary/high schools?

This is basically because students in Nigeria choose their career paths while in secondary/high schools and pursue this path upon admission into the university. Hence it is imperative that they are the target.

5. What is the campaign expected to achieve?

The campaign will help us identify students who are interested in entrepreneurship and a selected number of these students will be accepted into our coaching and mentoring program which is purposed to guide them towards becoming successful entrepreneurs.

6. Are there other partners or contributors apart from NAPPS?

We are humbled by the level of local and international support the campaign has attracted, such as Womenlines – an internationally recognized online journal. The National Black Unity News, which is the Largest National Minority Newspaper in the United States, who have dedicated a page in their publication to the BYE campaign, also the campaign workbook was prepared and donated by Ms Fran Allen a renowned American author and motivational speaker. While locally we have enjoyed the support of Mr Segun Oruame the CEO of Qitech technologies who is fostering collaboration between the BYE campaign and technology brands that are into entrepreneurial programs. We are also collaborating with Mrs Helen Oshikoya the CEO of Nobelova Gradani Psychoeducational Services, who is a chartered educational assessor and certified child development clinician towards organizing a successful campaign…and a few others.

7. What is the effect of the support of Womenlines on the campaign?

It is important to state that collaborations like this amongst people around the world foster growth. The act of promoting the campaign in their publication to this campaign not only inspires these kids to be better but gives them a sense of belonging and value. They feel accepted and united in this global village we live in. It also creates collaboration between African owned businesses and those in Asia. So I will say, the impact is enormous

8. Who are some of the facilitators for this campaign? 

As previously stated we have a mix of both local and international facilitators such as

• Bobby Umar – 5× TEDx Speaker and Inc Magazine Top 100 Leadership Speaker
• Fran Allen – Renowned American Author and Motivational Speaker
• Arc Bayo Adewakun – Principal partner – B-WAKS consultants
• Segun Oruame – Founder – Qitech Technologies

• Puja Talesara – Leadership coach, founder of Leadership Demystified podcast and webinars. Global Goodwill Ambassador

And a host of others

9. Do you have any sponsors?

We are presently in discussions with a couple of individuals and brands, and we are confident that we will find some who will be willing to partner with us in building a brighter future for the Nigerian child. We welcome support from all who are willing to help.

10. Any final words?

Nigeria is the most populous black nation in the world and has just been ranked as the country with the highest number of poor persons. So, I wish to call on every well-meaning individual and brand out there to support this great initiative aimed at improving the future of the Nigerian Child. To partner, sponsor or make a donation, please visit www.bye.com.ng. Thank you in advance.

Womenlines wishes success to the whole team behind Building Young Entrepreneurs (BYE) Campaign, Nigeria.

Womenlines takes pleasure to share a real-life story of the celebrity author, 2x Amazon Best Selling Author, International Speaker, host of ZMTV & founder of the Sisterhood Mentorship Program and Step UP, Zai Miztiq who is enabling communities through disability despite her near-fatal road accident-

 April 2019 – It started from one fateful afternoon 14 years ago when a sleepy taxi driver rammed the cab she was returning home in into the back of a stationary military truck. Zaiton Majeed or Zai Miztiq as she is popularly known now was given little hope by the surgeons that operated on her. The accident could have cost her life and dangerously risked her to be paralyzed for life. She miraculously survived 3 weeks later but not without living for the rest of her life with 8 screws, 2 metal rods inside her and permanent back pain. She recorded her comeback journey in a semi autobiography-styled book titled ‘Turn Your Passion into Profit’ and is empowering women and youth all over the world with her Amazon Best-selling book ‘5 Things I Love About Being A Woman’.

 The first book which was released on 22nd April 2015, the exact date of the fateful accident, documents her determination to not only recover medically, psychologically and emotionally but also to bring the message of hope and success. In recent years, Zai has travelled across the globe to countries like Japan, Jordan and Morocco. The solo travels were both therapeutic and empowering as she embarked on self-discovery and along the way made a name for herself as a Henna artist. Driven by the calling to find her new purpose in life, the ‘Who am I’ travelogue exposed her to a new found mission – spending time to be in the service of youths and sisterhood.

Reflecting on how far she has come, Zai explained, “I felt like I have been given a second chance in life. And now that the world brings entirely new meaning, I am dedicating myself to inspiring others to live their dreams and leave a legacy. I help people turn their pain into power and turn their dreams into reality with confidence and clarity and Step Up! To be the strong, soulful, success they are destined to be. My dream is to help people believe that they can be whatever they want to be with faith and love.”

 Her books and mentorship program received very encouraging response locally and globally. When the trial version was made available the 100 copies were all sold within a week of release.

Now living her dream life as a 2x Amazon Best Selling Author, travelling trainer and speaking on International stages to share her Step Up! the message, she has moved to document her works in digital videos and are placing modules after modules on a learning platform to make available to the masses learning tools where she believes is her way of leaving her legacy.

“My time on Earth will expire, but the knowledge I have and learning tools and skills I have acquired, I can empower and enrich the world with forever.” – Zai Miztiq

 Zai who has been in business long before the accident believes her books can be an effective self-help material especially for women and youths. She also uses the book as a training tool in her self-improvements workshops and as a guide in her sisterhood mentoring. To-date, she is still pursuing Henna artworks and teaching Arabic calligraphy in her spare time. She now runs a social enterprise providing corporate training and reach-out service under Miztiq International, a company she incorporated in 2014.

 Zai’s vision is to empower, educate & enrich more lives as the ‘Oprah Winfrey of Asia’. She intends to spread her message of hope through her empowerment works and for the community to pursue a continuous lifelong learning journey.

Welcome to ‘Success with Payal’ series at Womenlines!

Womenlines takes pleasure to introduce Payal Nanjiani, a US-based globally acclaimed inspirational speaker, leadership and success coach, as an Influencer for ‘Corporate Success Tips’ on Womenlines panel. Payal will be sharing exclusive content with Womenlines which can help women working in the corporate sector to develop leadership skills and success mindset. Payal will look forward to replying to queries from Womenlines readers too! Feel free to drop your questions in the comment section. This month read and listen from her about ‘How to ask for a raise in salary?

I still remember that dinner evening when a friend of mine looked very disturbed. On inquiring, she told me of her frustration that for the past seven years she hadn’t got any salary hike. No doubt that she had always mustered the courage to ask for one, but the reply was never a promising one. Many women in the workforce face the issue of asking for a salary raise. One mistake that most women make is to ask directly for a salary raise giving reasons like these:

1. I have worked in this company for more than six years
2. I work more than any other in my department.
3. My workload has increased.
4. The cost of living has increased.
5. My friends in another company are getting more than me in the same role.

Do you feel these reasons are good enough for the management to give you a salary raise? And let’s assume they provide it to you; would it be the right amount of increment? I often coach women on becoming a game-changing leader and one of the things I continuously mention to them is to talk about the value they bring to the table. Your boss thinks in terms of value and outcome. You’ve got to have an evident understanding of your worth, your expertise and what you bring to the table. You’ve got to clearly articulate what differentiates you from the rest. You must be able to show how you’ve been continuously enhancing your value in terms of knowledge, learning, and mindset. These are very imperative when speaking about a salary raise. So, the next time you want to ask for a salary raise, pause for a moment and ask yourself what value are you bringing in that can lead to a salary raise. Raise your value to such extent that it’s hard for anyone to reject you and your demands.
