A couple of weeks ago I got a call from a friend, asking me to come on board as Head of Fundraising for a conference she is putting together. Now of course I prayed about this matter. It just so happened that a friend of mine was going into surgery so I was already on a two day fast interceding for them.

In March I attended a seminar for Women in Project Management and my biggest takeaway had little do with Project Management. Before you finalise a contract, there is a period of negotiations. This helps to define the client requirements and prevent scope creep later on when the client decides that they want more than was agreed to in the beginning.

I need to rant today about the current state of jobs. Guyana, your jobs are boring. Your companies are boring. That's why you have lower productivity and high employee turnover. There! I said it! Stop making your companies so boring. One company that I think does a good job of making sure that their workplaces are not boring even if the jobs themselves are boring, is Massy.

A friend sent me this article from The Guardian about artists who lost their jobs to AI. The conversation that followed was about the future of our society in Guyana based on where AI is taking us. I am going to play technology futurist for a minute, hear me out. The future of AI in the East and the developed world is on a positive trajectory.

A friend called me up and offered to pay me to look at his resume and write his cover letter for him. Out of two cover letters sent, he got invited to one interview. We talked about rehearsing for the interview but ultimately we did not. Then we rehashed the interview for mistakes made and clarifications of the recruiters perspective. And just like that, a new service was born for me.

On my long journey through this life, I have had perhaps more than my fair share of relationships. A few of them were with narcissists. When I was young and much more naive, I used to think that everyone was perfectly sane and emotionally balanced and therefore, in every instance when someone is acting up, it must be my fault. Life later on proved that very few people are perfectly sane and emotionally balanced.
