On Friday, the 17th of May, my student Chambers held its induction ceremony themed The Noble Bow where we welcomed new Partners from the Ab-Initio Class. Here are 5 lessons I've learned from my 10 months of serving as the Media Director up till this moment. 1. Leadership is hard. Bearing a title is a sweet and very proud feeling. But the true test of leadership lies behind the scenes. When nobody is watching or applauding. 2. Leadership is beyond what meets the eye. When I first got the role of Media Director, I thought: "Cool. My job is just going to be about the media". I was wrong. A leader is expected to be so many things. Intelligent. Empathic. Creative. Innovative. Flexible. Humorous. Sacrificial. Everything! The list is endless. 3. A leader is a brand. I cannot count the number of times I had to take down a post or Whatsapp status because after reading it the second time, I'd ask myself: "Is this necessary? What does this say of you as a person and how does it affect your Chambers?" 4. Nobody cares about losers. I learned that as a leader, your only goal is to win. Nobody cares why you didn't hold that event. Nobody cares if you had the funds or not. Nobody cares if you don't have enough experience. The only thing people care about is numbers, the success stories. So, whatever you do- Win. 5. If you don't blow your trumpet, nobody will do it for you. The world runs on hype nowadays, on noise. So, if you're silent about the excellence you offer hoping that people will see it and come to you; you're sorely mistaken. I'm thankful for the positive noise we made through videos, flyers, events, and programs. All these helped us to achieve our goal of 70 sterling Inductees! I am honored and humbled and look forward eagerly to all Ime Umanah Chambers will achieve in the future!

Governance is one of the major issues in business, the not-for-profit sector and government today.
