The Other Side of Harmony

Over the weekend, I was invited to an industry expert session on The Productive Employee Course facilitated by Crosstie Solutions for SCM Capital. As an expert in employee well-being, the focus of the talk was to answer the employees’ burning questions on how to manage social stress and pressure at work, along with sharing other productive tips that have worked for me in my career journey.????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Little did I know, this session would lead me to share deeper stories—not just about successes, but about failures, chaos, pain, trauma, and rejection.

One question from a participant struck me: "What were some of your failures or difficulties as you transitioned, and how did you manage to overcome them?"

At the beginning of this year, I prayed for clarity and direction in my life's journey. The answer I received was three powerful letters: D.G.O. The Holy Spirit revealed that I would face several traumatizing moments this year but would overcome them through Divine (D) interventions, leading to Growth (G) and new Opportunities (O).

Looking back, my life has always been a series of "happenstances" that felt like divine interventions. From writing and publishing my first book to becoming a life coach, resigning from a 13-year job to start my business, transitioning back to a 9-to-5 job in Human Resources, and eventually becoming a Head of Human Resources—each step felt guided by a higher power.

When we think of divine intervention, we often envision positive, beautiful, glorious moments. However, in reality, divine intervention can be messy, chaotic, scary, and confusing. It can be the exact opposite of what we expect, a life of ease and harmony. Take my experience with publishing my first book, for example. It was a rollercoaster of managing a busy work schedule, writing most of the book on my mobile phone, dealing with design and publishing issues, all during the Covid-19 pandemic with the emotions it evoked. Despite the chaos, I discovered my love for writing and wanted to write another book.

I’ve faced rejection and discrimination in my career, battling health challenges alongside the frustrations at work and having the courage to resign from the job and become a Human Resources Consultant to prove my worth.

In all of these journeys, I am super excited to have traveled through with coaches, mentors, and accountability partners who wanted me to succeed by all means. With that clarity, I have been guiding several other professionals and executives across the globe on this transformational journey.

Divine intervention isn't just about the beautiful, awe-inspiring moments. It's about slugging through challenges to gain knowledge and skills to level up. It's about being put in difficult situations to force us to look at different ways to overcome obstacles and move to new levels with new opportunities.

?I've often been in awe of individuals who, despite facing immense challenges, see their experiences as blessings in disguise. They find value, growth, and new opportunities in their pain and trauma.

As I reflect on my own challenges while sharing with the participants, I realize how these experiences have equipped me with a plethora of tools for the new opportunities ahead.

Are you transitioning?

It could be in the area of your career or business, relationship or marriage, friendship or social network, passion or energy, health or wellness, success or achievement, peace or contentment, rest or recreation, self-esteem or confidence, spirituality or security, finance or money, and home or family.

I urge you to consider how you approach transition.

See transition as the school of opportunity. Define what harmony means to you at each of the critical areas of life and pursue growth and opportunities that transform your life.

So, if there's one thing, I want you to take away from this newsletter, it's this:

Divine (D) intervention is an opportunity for growth (G), preparing us for even more opportunities (O).

That is why, I am excited to embark on a new journey with professionals and executives like you by hosting a 3-month (happening every Saturday from May 11 - July 27) intensive virtual Group Coaching, Mentorship, and Accountability program to help you access practical tools to go through opportunities that challenge and expand your knowledge, develop skills, and acquire more tools in your toolbox to live a more harmonious life and begin to see life as abundant and a school of growth.
