one on one with the coach

Well, it all has to do with branding. Just wanted a different and unique name.

I started by tagging along a with a team that used to go for missions in High Schools. After interacting with students and hearing their challenges, I got a burden to commit myself fully to making a difference when and where I can.

Wow, I’d have to write another book if I was to go all out on this.Some that come to my mind are weekend challenges, engaging principals, launch of A.T.L program at Kamiti and the many testimonies I get from people I’ve interacted with.

One of them is time. I always feel like there is so much to do and very little time. Another challenge is getting to make event-oriented people see the necessity of having follow up programs.

First and foremost, Life Skills education should be taken seriously. There is no single career choice that does not need the application of life skills.

It shouldn’t be ‘just another lesson’.It’s really sad that some schools have scrapped it off and in other schools the ones handling it either lack passion or are not in touch with the reality on the ground. Secondly, more boys’ schools need to embrace training, pastoral, and various capacity-building programs. My friends in the field can attest to the fact that out of every 10 schools we visit 7 of them are girls’ schools. Generally, girls’ schools accord more time for such. You’ll hear of whole day programs, out of school retreats and weekend challenges; something very foreign to some boy’s schools.

While visiting different schools, we managed to take students through assessments. From the information we gathered, we were able to tabulate the results. Actually, my book TOP 10 REASONS WHY STUDENTS DON’T ACHHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL is basically feedback from students. Some of the challenges are: Home and family related issues, lack of seriousness, lack of motivation, sex and sexuality related issues, poor/average reading habits among many others.

For each of the challenges that we established; we came up with practical solutions. For example, if it’s home and family related issues, we talk to the students and where possible we bring the parents on board.

No. I don’t work alone. I have friends who are professional, reliable and who have been consistent in delivery.

I believe, without any iota of doubt that I’m in my area of calling. This is where my heart is. Whenever I feel like I’ve plateaued, amazingly, there’s something that happens which serves as a reminder that I should keep on going. It can be something like: a testimony from a person I have ministered to, feedback from a client or simply a referral. These and many more experiences keep me going.

To have a state-of-the-art formation Centre where transformative programs will be run throughout the year.

Be consistent in delivery and character. Keep refining your skills and model your facilitation on feedback. Above all, walk with God and endeavor to always be a guide and not just a signpost.
