So Why "Naked in Nigeria?"

Anyone who's ever left a corporate role knows all too well that feeling of getting "naked" on your last day as you return your technology, keys, confidential information, ID and anything else that isn't actually part of your genetic make up.

Following that came the task of "stripping" my possessions back to the bare essentials.  Take a moment to think about what you can fit into a 30kg baggage allowance.

But it's more than that.  This year is also about getting "naked" emotionally.  It's about pushing beyond my comfort zone and getting to know myself, my hot buttons, my passions and my skills.

Come join me at my most vulnerable as I share the highs and lows, the achievements, the lessons, the moments of magic and mystery. Perhaps we'll all learn a little something?  At the very least, we'll have a great laugh along the way!

Quotes of Encouragement

To kick things off I wanted to share some quotes that people have offered me as words of wisdom and encouragement:

  • Jump into the dark with shining eyes.
  • Wear your sparkles on the outside.
  • If somebody already is, then he should see to it that he be.  And when he sees that he be and is, then he must make sure that he is what he is, and not what he isn't - as is the case in most cases.
Here's promising to give it my best shot!
