The art of influence.


E ku asiko yio meaning good day!
Hope you are enjoying the weather and getting ready for the hot summer? Sorry that we could not meet last month because of the children`s Day event.Thank you for those who were able to attend and especially those who presented the Eyo masquerade. We appreciate you for sacrificing your time and finance.
 I am sure everyone wants to be successful, no matter how you define success, besides good old hard work and perseverance; one of the key factors is who is in your sphere of influence. Influence is, simply put, the power and ability to personally affect others’ actions, decisions, opinions or thinking and /or life. At one level, it is about compliance, about getting someone to go along with what you want them to do. But you often need genuine commitment from others to accomplish key goals and tasks. True commitment means you have succeeded in influencing people so that they’ll endorse and truly support you or your task or plan. When you influence people so they reach a place of genuine commitment, working relationships begin to improve. You see greater sustained effort and resiliency. Your colleagues become more efficient, creative and focused. To maximize your personal influence, you’ll want to evaluate your own style of influencing. What tactics do you use most? What could you do differently? You have a choice. I will recommend aligning yourself with such people as in this association that will lift you up and have your best interest in mind. Don`t listen to the nay Sayers. Do everything you can to absorb as much knowledge from the people in the association and, of course, do your best to give some back because we all have something to share. I will also recommend joining us and express your opinion, your fear, your worry, your trouble, your pain etc. It will help better than staying away. We love you!
Happy birthday to you if you were born in June and wishing you success in all you do.
To all our Muslim brothers and sisters,Happy Ramadan to you all. May Allah accept all your fasting and prayers in Ramadan.
Have a wonderful June everyone!
Segun.
