This week I speak to a former colleague and Africa's Blockchain baron, Shadrack Kubyane. Shadrack is (re)shaping Africa's supply chains leveraging blockchain. Following his last corporate role with Deloitte, he stepped into Management Consulting, for a decade, with a special focus on scaling businesses. One of those assignments that landed on his desk, was from an ex-colleague from Deloitte, who required growth inputs for her human hair extensions business.  Shadrack and team disrupted the sector itself, and address its gaps, and found was a 7 billion USD sector on the continent. We hosted a few dinner meetings with industry leaders. That's when IBM stepped forward to sign two cheques, to back their entry into Blockchain, along with availing global-grade technical expertise.  We have never looked back since, we have been creating a platform that is positioned to be the answer to Africa's supply chain gaps, starting with hair, then food and fashion sectors.

It was spirituality. And as I leaned more into being the expert in Artificial Intelligence, the more I realised forget AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), we don't even understand enough about the nature of our own consciousness. Since then I've been studying psychology, endocrinology, neuroscience, and spirituality like a nerd. And what a pleasure it was to find another left-brained consultant lawyer who is committed to not only saving the planet using his degree but also studying the nature of consciousness using his vast interest in divergent fields. Tamlyn Hunt and his collaborator,  Dr. Jonathan Schooler, a professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at U.C. Santa Barbara, propose the General Resonance Theory of Consciousness as a simple answer to David Chalmer's "Hard Problem of Consciousness".  Tam Hunt is a lawyer, writer and scholar who has developed the General Resonance Theory of consciousness. He has written for Scientific American, Nautilus, Tricycle, and many other publications. He has written two books on philosophy and spirituality, the 2014 Eco, Ego, Eros, and 2017 Mind, World, God. By day, he works to save the planet as a green energy lawyer. By night he is a philosopher and proud parent of three cats.

So many of you write to me about confidence or the lack of it in your work-life. Impostor syndrome is rife amongst all my clients and students. And one thing they all go back to is hard skills. "I don't have the confidence because I don't have the hard skills", they tell themselves. And in this episode, I'll tell you why this is the biggest mistake you are making while trying to get confidence to revamp. #careergrowth #careeradvice #careerdevelopment #careergoals #consulting #managementconsulting #consultingcareers #big4 #pwc #deloitte #bain #kpmg #ey #mckinsey #bcg #mbb #corporatecareers #bossbabelife #bossbabemovement #bossbabequotes #growthmindset #mindsetmentor #mindsetgoals #ceomindset #ceolife #managementconsultant #consultinglife #biglaw #lawyers #careerchange #formerlawyer #careersafterlaw

What makes some people more successful than others? Is it hard work? That doesn't seem to be the case because there are so many successful people with nothing to show for their hard work and time spent! While their peers virtually sprint to success. I also talk about why I disagree with the incredibly talented psychologist, Adam Grant on this. In this video, I talk about the two key ingredients that I have found to be present in all successful leaders- career or otherwise.

People conventionally talk about working hard but does that really work? There are so many people who work hard with nothing to show for it! This is what’s wrong with unfulfilled over-achievers.

Get me career change blueprint here: TheAbundancePsyche.com/get-insider-tools If your CV is boring, according to you, it's 100%, worrying for the hiring manager who's having a look at your CV. And what we want to be when we are applying for jobs, is we onboarding be the candidate that hiring managers want to have a conversation with? So how do you do that? You have to be a story writer, you have to be a master story writer because ultimately, your CV is the story of your career journey to date.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved Consulting. But I was convinced that I needed to spend some time outside consulting to even become a better consultant. So I ultimately spent months researching and reflecting on what I wanted out of my exit. I spoke to Nicola who also had a similar experience. #careergrowth #careeradvice #careerdevelopment #careergoals #consulting #managementconsulting #consultingcareers #big4 #pwc #deloitte #bain #kpmg #ey #mckinsey #bcg #mbb #corporatecareers #bossbabelife #bossbabemovement #bossbabequotes #growthmindset #mindsetmentor #mindsetgoals #ceomindset #ceolife #managementconsultant #consultinglife #biglaw #lawyers #careerchange #formerlawyer #careersafterlaw

Management consulting teaches you to solve problems. This is a rare skill in the market and I never really evaluated how much of a skill that is. And in your career or in entrepreneurship this is one of those skills that’s key- the ability to know that even if you do not know or do not have the skills to currently solve the problem that you're facing, you have the ability to think logically, to come up with steps and ways to find a solution. And that is such a powerful skill. entrepreneurs on the Not-so-Corporate podcast. Link in bio.

"I'm all about helping my mentees be more strategic about their career. I think people don't talk enough about that when you get out of school that you just don't let certain things happen to you. Or that you have these expectations that you're going to be like discovered, everyone is going to see this fabulous job that you do and promotions, and money is going to be raining down on you.  You're definitely going to need to have conversations with people to help you move forward in that and your thought process? What are you going to do with your next job? Like what's the goal that you're trying to get to? Are you just taking jobs to be having jobs? Are you going to be really focused on where you're trying to get to and making the right decisions that are going to help you get there? It's deeper than just showing up to work. And that's what I have my mentees think about- something that's deeper than just a job." #careergrowth #careeradvice #careerdevelopment #careergoals #consulting #managementconsulting #consultingcareers #big4 #pwc #deloitte #bain #kpmg #ey #mckinsey #bcg #mbb #corporatecareers #bossbabelife #bossbabemovement #bossbabequotes #growthmindset #mindsetmentor #mindsetgoals #ceomindset #ceolife #managementconsultant #consultinglife #biglaw #lawyers #careerchange #formerlawyer #careersafterlaw

In this episode I speak to a former Accenture, KPMG, and EY consultant who scaled and managed teams of over 200 people and "gave it all up" to be a solopreneur.   Business doesn't always require huge capital or VC investment. Sometimes whatever you have in your bank account, or even a part of it is sufficient to start a solopreneur business.

Everyone wants to create a side hustle and let's be honest, there are 1001 side hustle ideas that you can start today after a Google search. But I am all about efficient scaling here because a side gig that requires more of your time, energy, and money over time isn't the smartest business to be setting up in 2021. Of course, if you want a quick cash injection, be my guest, but in this episode, I speak about the only 5 broad types of scalable businesses that you can scale efficiently as a side hustle.  #entrepreneur, #entrepreneurship, #big4, #mbb, #pwc, #deloitte, #ey, #kpmg, #startup,#london, #ceo,#becomeceo, #career, #careeradvice, #mckinsey, #bain, #bcg, #consultant, #managementconsulting, #managementconsultant, #financialplanning, #finances,

Want my cheatsheet on beating burnout and being confident in 2 minutes? Download here: www.theabundancepsyche.com/hidden-tools   “Am I burned out or just lazy and dumb? I don’t see my other colleagues so disarray! Maybe it’s just me… I’ve Googled burnout too many times and now it’s my head. I should stop being lazy and get shit done!”   "For ten years, Isabelle worked in corporate, dealing with budgets, forecasts, target-actual analyses, working on P&Ls and balance sheets. While working in corporate she often asked herself, why she was not feeling happy. She really gave her all and basically was working her a$$ off and still would not receive the recognition that she would have wanted for herself. This had an impact on her never being truly happy in her job and living in the feeling of lack. She would question herself, doubting that she was doing the right thing, and thought that something was wrong with her because she felt that lost in corporate.   Isabelle got herself started on a self-development journey and creating a morning routine would change her life forever. She got herself out of a mentality of lack, self-doubt and went over to trusting herself, her talents, and her intuition to attract joy & ease into her life. Today Isabelle works as an Intuition Coach and helps women in corporate to get out of that lack mentality and get from self-doubt to self-TRUST.    www.isabellehavers.com  www.instagram.com/isabellehavers   #entrepreneur​,#entrepreneurship,​ #big4​,#mbb,​ #pwc,​ #deloitte,​ #ey,​ #kpmg,​ #startup​,#london,​ #ceo​,#becomeceo,​ #career,​ #careeradvice,​ #mckinsey,​ #bain,​ #bcg,​ #consultant​,#managementconsulting,​ #managementconsultant​, #financialplanning, #finances, #burnout, #meditation, #morningroutine

How to plan your financials for retirement in your 30s? If you are wondering how to plan for retirement or an early retirement, here's the counterintuitive truth- investing in yourself is the quickest way forward. In this video I talk about the FIRE movement- fat FIRE, lean FIRE and the 4% rule.  

I always felt like lawyers, and most of the folks that I tend to work with, who are consultants, both tend to have quite intense careers. But also, if I may use this word, we also tend to be “insecure overachievers”. Sarah, the Former Lawyer, speaks about her journey into and out of an intense career in a Big Law firm.

Now, tell me honestly, when you think of career development, what do you think?  While managing people and also working with my students, I have seen a systemic pattern- most of us, when we think about career growth, development and change, instinctively think about career progression. And that's great. Except, career progression and career development are completely different things. Both could meet at some point, but actually, when you are looking at career progression, you are saying, “Today, I'm the sales manager of my company, and tomorrow I want to be the senior sales manager and day after I want to be the head of sales.”   Whereas when you think about career development, you think about the end first. You think about the life of no regrets. You think about “Where do I want to see myself when I am 70, or 80? And how do I want to be retiring?”   If your answer is anything different to the head of sales for North America, when you are already a sales manager, then you need to approach this slightly differently.   #careergrowth #careeradvice #careerdevelopment #careergoals #consulting #managementconsulting #consultingcareers #big4 #pwc #deloitte #bain #kpmg #ey #mckinsey #bcg #mbb #corporatecareers

I have with me a very special guest, my former colleague from Strategy& Ram Soundarajan. Ram is the CEO and founder of Quber Tech, after having 17 years of industry and consulting experience across continents. He has teamed with a highly accomplished group of entrepreneurs, manufacturing industry veterans, technologists and consultants to launch a SaaS venture focused on serving the manufacturing sector. He cares really about diversity, gender equality, immigration, urban and rural qualities, all these good topics that we are going to cover.   #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #big4 #mbb #pwc #deloitte #ey #kpmg #startup #london #ceo #becomeceo #career #careeradvice #mckinsey #bain #bcg #consultant #managementconsulting #managementconsultant

Doing less requires you to prioritize, to strategize. It’s rarely about “time management”.  But most of us are so busy in our day to day lives, in our careers, in our jobs, that we just don't have the time to look at things strategically because we are trying to “manage time better”.   Stop and ask yourself- What is the direction of travel? Where are we going? Where are we headed to? If you don't know that, you just keep on adding to the pandemic of busy-ness.   And it is indeed a pandemic.   And it's almost worn as this badge of honour.    And I'm going to say enough, that's enough!   Please stop and just see what is happening to you. Because of you being busy 24/7.  Busy-ness, unfortunately, doesn't solve anything. In fact, it does the opposite of solving for things.   Back in the day, when I was in my first job at Deloitte, there were a couple of projects where we were working crazy hours. And this will not come as a surprise to most consultants, you are used to working crazy hours. But I will have to say that because of those crazy hours, we lost not only our creativity but also our sense of logic sometimes, which I only figured out towards the end of the project when I started having more and more space and time. And it wasn't just me, this was for everyone. And this is true every single day of our lives- the more space you have to think the more space you have to be silent, quieten down your mind, the more successful you will be in your career.    Because you have that time now to strategize. Now you suddenly have that time to indeed own your career, like a CEO, like I always talk about.

How to be a successful corporate entrepreneur within Big 4 consulting?  Today's episode is with Sarah Agbantou. And she is the true corporate entrepreneur if you will.   Sarah is a senior manager in product and tech innovation at PwC. She founded Design Thinking for Good, a volunteer-based community, which helps social enterprises to scale with design thinking techniques. Prior to joining PwC, this time around, she was the head of expansion at City Pantry, a food-tech startup, that was bought by Just Eat, and a consultant for the private equity firm called HG Capital in London. She has recently launched 54 Sud, which focuses on helping aspiring entrepreneurs build sustainable ventures in Francophone Africa with practical masterclasses.   #venturecapital #investor #startup #business #entrepreneur #mckinsey #pwc #ey #deloitte #kpmg #bain #bcg #london #fundraising #consultant #managementconsulting #managementconsultant #africa #entrepreneurship #strategyconsulting #impactinvesting

I have with me, Svenja Tegtmeier. She founded Senguine Suits. She is a fashion and tech entrepreneur. She used to be a management consultant… in fact quite a lot of people, I tend to speak to are former management consultants who are on their entrepreneurship journeys.   Svenja is really passionate about women in leadership. And she wants to bring that to the forefront using her current business.- Senguine Suits.  If you'd prefer the transcript instead, it's on theabundancepsyche.com/blog  #mckinsey #pwc #ey #deloitte #kpmg #bain #bcg #korukids #consultant #managementconsulting #managementconsultant  #careercoach #careeradvice #growthmindset #ceomindset #fashion #entrepreneurship #womeninbusiness #womenempowerment #senguinesuits #fashionista

It’s a question I used to regularly ponder over and have spent countless numbers of hours researching. And what I found was it is good to be the CEO of a company but actually, far more important than that, is how do you become the CEO of your career?  This is a topic that I have been talking quite a lot about this of late because I believe in owning our careers, being the directors of our careers, and indeed, the CEO of our careers, is how you claw back the locus of control and responsibility to yourself. You and only you are responsible for your career.  It is one thing to say you own your own destiny but a totally different thing to approach it as a CEO runs their businesses. This requires you to put in place the key elements that make a successful business in your career.   #mckinsey #pwc #ey #deloitte #kpmg #bain #bcg #korukids #consultant #managementconsulting #managementconsultant  #careercoach #careeradvice #growthmindset #ceomindset #personalfinance #finance

McKinsey consulting to disrupting London's start-up scene - today I have with me, a very special lady who has actually been an inspiration to me without probably even realizing that she was. She is an ex McKinsey consultant turned startup CEO. And she runs one of the coolest, and yet, I think, most valuable of London startups. She runs Koru Kids, which basically, is a technology company that helps parents with childcare. And as a new parent myself, I have realized that this was certainly one of the things that was missing from the startup scene here in London.  If you want the transcript instead, go here.

Career gaps!   Are career gaps common?   How do I explain career gaps in my CV and interviews?   Do employers care about career gaps?   These are some questions about career gaps I keep getting asked on repeat! And in fact, these are questions that I used to obsess with before I had a career gap in my career.  So I have a few pieces of advice with hindsight     1. Your first career break is the only time you will worry about a career gap 2. You only need to worry if you have not “grown” during a gap 3. You don’t need to worry about short breaks when you’re in a creative job that’s future proof 4. Try to be in touch with your network of people even through the gap years 5. No, you don’t need to prepare for setbacks!   Get the CV and LinkedIn checklists that will keep you on your networking game through the gap, so that you are on top of mind even when you are taking a break: theabundancepsyche.com/get-insider-stuff  #career #careergaps #careergoals #employmentgap #employmentgaps #careergap

  Should I quit my job right now, at the peak of a pandemic? When is the right time to quit? How do you know when to leave your job? Do you have to hate your job to start thinking of leaving?  One of my readers asked me last week, “Should I quit my job because quite a lot of my managers and seniors who she adores and respects are leaving the company?  She joined the company to get mentorship and sponsorship that she thought would be good for her. Now, because they are leaving, should she leave?   I'm sure this is not a unique question. We always tend to wonder when is the right time to leave that job.   Now I’m going to give you 2 pieces of advice. It will seem strange but bear with me...  Advice ONE - being a top performer at your current job should be a non-negotiable.   And advice TWO which might sound counterintuitive, but actually, in some ways, you should always be looking for a job.   If you still need more support, apply for a free call here.  #jobsearch #dreamjob #careerchange #careercoach #managementconsultant #managementconsulting #careeradvice #jobseeking #resume

"I HATE WASTING TIME!"  I've had this internal script for as long as I can remember. It is in fact one that has helped me be ruthlessly productive. But like every script, it's day has come to retire.  Why?  Because as I started @theabundancepsyche, this script led me to an Instagram overdose and business fatigue. Because I hate wasting time, if the baby takes 2 hours to go to bed, I am beside him and keep obsessing about numbers on Insta and email open rate and what not...   Because that's not wasting time. BUT SOMEHOW lying down beside a baby is!   I couldn't do it any longer. My brain needed rest and my family, job, and clients needed the best version of me. Not the most productive version of me.  It took me ages to figure out the mental switch from this script that has served me so well to the current one on the post-it note. But I'm committed to protecting my time and energy for those who truly matter.  Do you hate wasting time too?   #timemanagement #productivity #timewaste #theabundancepsyche  "

How did they pivot their careers? And can I do the same? Of course, you can! And it’s surprisingly “easy breezy”... well that’s what the feel it should be anyway.

Everyone seems to be talking about career pivots and you might be wondering where they are really getting the skills for because the university didn’t teach them that! Did they retrain?

Figure out what are the skills that you need to be excellent at this job 3.
