Sometimes, we focus so much on the aspect of DOING that we loose sight of the BE-ING component of what we do. How can you be great at what you do, without also loosing touch of the inner work needed to do great work. How do you lead with empathy, how do you stay calm and collected even though there're a thousand open- tabs in your mind and with things not going the way you originally planned for a project you're working on?. 2024 brought this to light for me and this feedback I received while leading and managing one of our Innovation Programs DFS Lab really brought home the importance to also pay attention to the state of your BE-ING. This year, I had the incredible opportunity to manage the #StellarSurge program- a developer activation program that seeks to provide a pathway to innovation, learning, and meaningful connections within the African blockchain and developer ecosystem to launch innovative products using the Stellar and Soroban network. I managed and coordinated all the moving parts from design, to implementation and closure of the project which spanned across Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana! Talk about bringing initiatives to new markets! Engaging 15,430 builders across existing web3 and blockchain online communities and platforms, bringing together close to 400 builders to learn, forge partnership and linkages while challenging their thinking/approach on their products/solutions - What a great run! A major highlight for me (asides the fun of bringing such an initiative to life) was creating a mainstage experience featuring leaders in the blockchain/web3 space to share practical insights on 'Blockchain for Good:Exploring Real Life Use Cases on the Continent'.

Last Friday, I was invited to the Web3Clubs , where we hosted a workshop featuring Felix Macharia from Kotani Pay Pay and S.A KAKAI . Together, we guided founders on how to pitch effectively, covering the essential components of product development to ensure viability and scalability. Felix Macharia led a session on the business model canvas, helping founders grasp key business practices to support informed decision-making.
