How to Conduct Yourself Professionally as a Leader

Higherlife Coach

Leadership comes with great responsible. As a leader, misconduct can ruin your reputation. The rulebook of professional code of conduct is ever- expanding but with great leadership qualities you can be a person of influence. Leaders are people of exceptional character who are able to find the path and lead others through it. Vision, teamwork, empowerment and trust are the hallmarks of a true leader. Whether we are following or leading, we are all leaders and should conduct ourselves properly in other to be good ambassadors of our people.  One who leads must develop vitality, aliveness and a deep feeling of shared value among his people. You must consciously lead if you want your team to move from good to great.

Leadership can be defined as the ability and capability of an individual to influence, inspire and encourage others to contribute their best toward the betterment and success of the group. A person who can bring about change, therefore, is one who has the potentiality to be a leader. One quality does not fit all for leaders. Leaders are different as the organizations they lead. What and who they are in relation to the set they lead determines their ability to lead and the willingness of the people to follow.

No matter the kind of group different leaders lead, generally, some qualities must be possessed by a leader for him to conduct himself professionally and lead with a positive difference.

*Belief: A leader must believe in his ability to lead the people rightly. Belief strengthens your power of achievement. If you do not belief in yourself and abilities, nobody will believe you. 

 *Self-awareness: Proper knowledge of your skills, passions, strengths and values will help you in your leadership journey. You can’t give what you don’t have, therefore, you must know yourself and lead yourself before you can lead others well.

*Wisdom: This is the principal thing. It will help you to maximize your intelligences and know when to say or do things right. Wisdom gives you hindsight, insight and foresight.

*Effective Communication and Connection: The ability to create common ground matters a lot in leadership. The capability to listen and understand the thoughts, concerns and ideas of your people will help you greatly in leading. This virtue will help you connect well with them and gives you the platform to easily communicate your thoughts clearly to them. A vision is nothing until it can be sold.

Every leader who wants to succeed must be confident, innovative, enthusiastic, inspiring, courageous, motivating and teachable. People only follow those who know where they are going. Improving yourself will help you become a better leader who has the qualities it takes to conducts himself professionally. Great leadership is not developed is not developed in a day, but daily. Conducting yourself professionally helps you sharpen your inter-personal skills.

Happiness Recipe: Eat & Stay Happy by Ogwo David Emenike

Book Reviewer: Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha

In his sagacious style, Ogwo David Emenike has given us another soul-alluring and life-enhancing book that will put our lives on the forward and upward move. Happiness Recipe: Eat & Stay Happy is a great work that unveils the secrets to true happiness. It is loaded with eye-opening and mind-stirring wisdom that will equip you to be in-charge of your applecart.

In life, the end point of all we do is to be happy. Many people have gone far and near, spent thousands of their hard end money all in the bid to find happiness not knowing that what they are looking for is not far fetched. This book is a food that you will eat and be healthy because life without happiness is bland.

Happiness Recipe is a treatise that will give you a shot in the arm to be happy and stay happy. In this masterpiece, you will discover that happiness is more of an inside job than outside. Don’t let people rob you of your happiness and joy. Truly, happiness is inside-out. If your happiness is dependent on someone or a thing, then you are the most miserable person on earth. You can be happy no matter the circumstances you are in. I tell people in my higherlife coaching sessions that in every situation, you have two options – to be bitter or better. The choice you make in life makes or mars your life.

This magnum opus is masterfully crafted for your edification, motivation and uplifting. The book is garnished with the sagacious poems and quotes that will stir your mind and provoke you to take charge of your life. The secret to true happiness is to be your unique self. Happiness is contagious but, unhealthy comparison of yourself with others will make you unhappy.

To live a higherlife, you must be a master of applied positive psychology. This helps you be in-charge of your emotions 24/7. Many books have been writing in line with happiness but, Ogwo’s work stands out because it unveils the basis of finding true happiness: it begins with you.

Happiness Recipe is a 25 pages book authored by sage Ogwo David Emenike. This book is published by Booktango, U.S.A. it’s not the volume of a book that matters but, the content of the book. This book is filled with sagacity and authenticity. You can’t drop it until you finish reading it. If you desire to live a life better than good, this is the book that you need to read.

Ogwo David Emenike is a sage, award winning poet, essayist, higherlifer and a man making a positive difference in this day and age. He has set his best foot forward to take humankind to greatness. He has authored life-enhancing books like: You are a Star and The Fortune in Failing. His articles can be seen on many websites. The foreword of this great book is written by Tajh Onwaje and the work also has an afterword written by Nigerian-born higherlife coach, Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha.

This book is one of the best investments you can make in life because if you are not happy, you can not enjoy any good thing on earth. Happiness Recipe is the best meal I recommend you eat to stay happy. I endorse this book, read and live happily forever.

Goodnight, Brian by Steven Manchester – A story of Fate Versus Faith

Book Review by Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha (Certified Expert Author)

Book Title: Goodnight, Brian

Author: Steven Manchester

Publisher: The Story Plant

Pages: 308

Book Formats: Paperback and eBook

Language: English

Book Reviewer: Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha (Higherlife Coach)

Goodnight, Brian is an enthralling story of fate versus faith. Fate was working against little Brian Mauretti. The soy-food that was meant to nourish him was poisoning him instead. The damage was devastating that Brian’s doctor said that Brian will not walk, talk or develop holistically.  Fate has written off Brian but, fate did not know that the boy Brian has a faith-filled grandmother named Angela DiMartino, whose faith can move mountains. Mama battled fate with a good fight of faith. Inside this great book, you will find out who won the battle between fate and faith. 

This novel is an emotional and inspiring story about the strength of unconditional love, family bond, high level faith and the determination to overcome the challenges of life. I term this book “Inspirational fiction.” This book is very motivating, inspirational and alluring. A story beautifully rendered to educate us that we should not give up when life throw stones at us. Brian’s grandmother may be aged but her faith is as strong as rock. Reading Goodnight, Brian authored by Steven Manchester reminds me of the lives of the overcomers I wrote about in my book “Overcoming the Challenges of Life.” 

Goodnight, Brian is a 308 pages authored by Steven Manchester. This book is beautifully written for you. It is published by The Story Plant and printed in U.S.A. The Jacket design is by Barbara Aronica Buck. In this book, you will come to a focus with the story telling ability of Steven Manchester. This great work is written in simple and clear English. This magnum opus is available in Paperback and eBook versions.  This book is heartrending and inspiring story of resilience, faith and a family’s enduring love that we all can emulate. Steve has made me to come to like fiction more. The language of this novel is not vulgar but decent. I must confess that this work is a good story about the power of love and faith.

Steven Manchester is a gifted writer, bestselling author of Twelve Months, The Unexpected Storm: The Gulf War Legacy Pressed Pennies, and Jacob Evans, as well as several books under the pseudonym, Steven Herberts. His works has appeared on NBC’s Today Show, CNN’s American Morning, CBS’s The Early Show and BET’s Nightly News. Three of his short stories were selected “101 Best” for the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.  This Massachusetts author loves his wife, Paula and their four Children – Evan, Jacob, Isabella and Carisa.

I have read many works of fiction but, Goodnight, Brian is a work of fiction that I like so much. It is not the normal fiction work you see everyday. In this work, Steven Manchester has set his best foot forward to inspire humankind with a story that we can easily connect with because we are in a challenge or knows a family or a person in such challenging situation. The bottom-line of this of this story is never give up! No matter how difficult the situation you are in, you shall overcome. This book is a phenomenal and inspiring read. I treasure it and commend Steve Manchester for giving us this timeless gift. I learnt a lot from this book and recommend it for you, your family and friends. Getting a copy of this book is one of the best investments you can do in life, I wish you a happy read! Impossible is no match for love!
