Most people at the workplace say that they would rather die with their problems if telling anyone about it is the only way forward. Telling anyone about deep personal issues or relying on anyone to provide succour, or backing or depending on anyone is now a risk, a deadly one. What is the way forward? The Headliner, as she is popularly known, is a sample of many people at the workplace and in business. Omolola Oladimeji spent around 20 years working with Silverbird Communications. She rose from the rank of Protocol Officer to the Business Manager after 20 years. In these years, she faced different challenges managing her superiors and subordinates. She was opposed, betrayed, snitched on, victimised, ambushed and severally suspended while her name was being cleared. Like a cat with 9 lives, she bounced back many times. The Headliner, as she is popularly known, is a sample of many people at the workplace and in business. This is how we all thread around. As a Life Coach and someone who has run his businesses for more than a decade now, I can tell you that the business and workplace is a slippery banana. I have been betrayed by associates, partners, and mentors. I recall opening up to a mentor (or maybe just to say 'Senior') but till date, I have been accosted by at least 3 people who asked me 'what did you do to XXX? Why does 'they' talk about you in the manner they do?'. In this episode of HOW I DID IT, Lola goes vulnerable with me, sharing with humour and candour, how her journey through career has been full of blood and sweat. This episode will make you laugh, sigh, ponder and maybe, cry. Whichever way, enjoy. I would be very humbled if you share this episode. This is a special episode with THE HEADLINER, OMOLOLA OLADIMEJI. I await your feedback. - #TheOctopus
