Way to go Maeve! Thanks for sharing your talents, story and leadership.

Earlier this month I had a chat with Georgina Njogu of Citizen Digital. The idea behind the interview was to discuss personal life & career.We touched on many topics including but not limited to the motivation,the set backs,the comebacks and the drive. 1.My biggest support base is my family.My brothers made sure from a young age that I never had a victim mentality,they taught me by looking at their values,how they tackle challenges that you can't be a victim.They despite all odds were the best mirror I could have,being strict with me and making sure I became a younger version of them. 2.Social capital- I have been a beneficiary of social capital people who can and have mentioned my name in places I didn't even immagine exists,to people who have stretched hands to pull me back when I am out ,people who receive my calls when I am out and bring back the belief people like Lillian Ngala ,Azmina Mulji Leadership Empowerment Coach and HR Consultant and many othersif I was to do this list we would be 89 pages. 3.Taking Calculated risk,I have always believed that you either take the risk or loose the chance. 4.At the apex of it there are well planned ,well calculated goals,what and where I wanted to be . 5.I am a victim of my own ambitions andost of the time the very ambitious thoughts have led me a stray,Sometimes it has consumed the very drive I had . 6. Be Cognizant of the fact that nobody owes you anything not even your mentors, appreciate the people who take their time to guide and listen to you.They don't need to do it but when they do neveret them down. 7.Character is the S to the word success .Have integrity,be consistent, respect authority and love what you do when you still doing it.

Is playing it safe holding you back from your true potential? I've often found that our greatest achievements lie just beyond our comfort zone. You're onto something powerful here - the idea that real growth comes from pushing boundaries. Think about it: every major breakthrough in history came from someone willing to take a risk. I'm reminded of the Wright brothers or Marie Curie. They didn't just step out of their comfort zone; they leaped. But here's the thing: it's not about recklessness. It's calculated risk-taking. You weigh the potential gains against the possibility of failure. And even if you do fail? Well, that's where the real learning happens. I've learned more from my failures than my successes. Each setback is a lesson, a stepping stone to something greater. It's about reframing failure as feedback, not an endpoint. #RiskTaking #PersonalGrowth #InnovationMindset #EmbraceFailure
