      <image:title>Blog - 42. Three powerful lessons from my business pivot in 2023 - Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to spontaneously share lessons from my business pivot at the Young Entrepreneurs’ Initiative Q2 meetup at the Elgin County Railway Museum.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In early 2023, I would have been known as a strategy consultant. Today, I am more of a strategy educator and primarily focus on my DIY Strategic Plan program. It was not easy getting to this point, but I am grateful for the journey and the insights gained along the way. Here are the three key learnings learned: 1. You are not crazy: Embracing change doesn't mean you are losing your way. Instead, it can be a necessary step toward progress. Adjusting your business model or strategy can open new doors and create opportunities you had not considered before. In my case, it has helped me develop a program that enables me to serve many more nonprofits, amplify my impact, and minimize time away from loved ones. 2. Take the time to reflect: There is no set rule on how to navigate the way forward. Just make sure to create the time, space, and energy to figure out next steps. Clarity often comes in quiet moments. You might be able to make space while still running the business at a lower intensity, or you might need to step back completely. This is also an opportunity to let go of your past identity as a business owner, heal, and make way for a brighter future ahead. In my case, I took a couple of months off work to reflect on how I’d gotten to this point, reimagine my desired future, and design the ideal model for me. Six months after my sabbatical, I had a clear direction with lots of peace of mind.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>First off, let us break down two key terms we will use to categorize these peer organizations: scope and location. Scope refers to the needs an organization meets within the community, while location is simply where the organization is based. Understanding these can help you pinpoint which ideas might be a good fit for your situation.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Last month wrapped up my learning experience with the Libro Social Enterprise Incubator. Over the course of four months, I participated in ten group sessions, five 1-1 coaching calls, connected with a legal subject matter expert, alongside enjoying multiple perks from the Pillar nonprofit network. Although I knew this program held promise, I probably did not realize how much I needed it at the time I enrolled in it. Flash back to October 2023 when I was laying the groundwork for my DIY Strategic Plan program. Three months later, I would end up welcoming my first cohort, with plans set for the next intake in May 2024.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 26. Three practical tips to foster a growth mindset within your organization</image:title>
      <image:caption>Chances are, you have heard someone say things like "If it ain’t broken, don't fix it" or "We have always done it this way." These phrases often signal a resistance to change. But in the world of social impact, where our goal is to positively impact lives and communities, just having good intentions is not enough. We need to be committed to growing and getting better as organizations. As leaders, it is crucial to create an environment where learning and trying new things are encouraged—that is what psychologist Carol Dweck calls a 'growth mindset.' Because, as they say, "To go somewhere new, we have to try something new."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I’m not particularly fond of the label ‘Black’. It is a label that was placed upon me after I left my home country, Nigeria. A label that comes with its unique perks and baggage. A label I can hardly escape when I am outside my continent. Despite my reservations with the label, this year, I choose to join in the celebrations for February as Black History Month. To celebrate the journeys and excellence of people of African descent and the vibrant contributions we have made at home and abroad. I celebrate my journey as an African in the diaspora for fourteen years. I celebrate my rich Nigerian heritage and the values of faith, hard work, resilience, and community it instilled in me, enabling me to thrive in countries like Canada, Australia, and the USA. I celebrate my peers who are similarly embracing their heritage and making a positive impact on the world. May we find continued success in our home countries and the places we have chosen to call home. Happy Black History Month!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 24. Can we trust our instincts? Five biases to be mindful of when making high-stakes decisions</image:title>
      <image:caption>As an introverted person and a consultant, I like to think I am very perceptive and that I often approach situations with a sense of neutrality and balance. However, the reality is that as humans, we unconsciously have filters on based on various factors such as our upbringing, personal values, past experiences, influences from peers and mentors, and more. When faced with decisions that will significantly impact our stakeholders and community, it is crucial to approach them with humility. This humility requires us to acknowledge that even the most well-intentioned among us are susceptible to biases that can cloud our judgment and lead to sub-optimal decisions.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I am always thrilled to be featured in our local community magazine, Hometown St Thomas. This month's issue introduced our brand, a.s.k Amarachi Kejeh, and flagship program, DIY Strategic Plan, to the community. Even more special was the opening letter from the editor, Geoff Rae, that highlighted a group activity I had facilitated in St Thomas back in September 2023. In the activity, Geoff had selected the adjective “grateful” to describe himself. In the spirit of Canadian Thanksgiving, I’ll like to express my gratitude to: God: for the gift of life and everlasting hope; My family and friends: for their abundant love and support; My community: for welcoming me with open arms and encouraging me to continue to show up authentically. I wish you and your loved ones a happy Thanksgiving!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>At a.s.k Amarachi Kejeh, we are driven by a deep commitment to serving communities and fostering impactful change. We all know that volunteer-run organizations are the unsung heroes, dedicating themselves to serving communities day in and day out. However, let's talk about the elephant in the room: finances often pose a significant barrier for these incredible groups. It's the classic chicken and egg problem - needing funds to grow, yet requiring growth to access those funds. A tough spot indeed!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When social impact organizations embark on strategic planning processes, our primary focus is often on creating a better world for our external communities or constituents. We set ambitious goals, outline action plans, and allocate resources to address priority needs. However, it's crucial not to overlook the needs and well-being of the internal community – our employees or volunteers.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In the world of strategic planning, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of chasing deadlines, analyzing data, and creating documents. The pressure to deliver tangible results can often overshadow the value of the strategic planning process itself. In this article, we'll explore the importance of shifting our focus towards the journey, the collaborative process, and the transformation it can bring.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 7. Are you building “for” or “with” your community? - Hello fellow changemakers! We often find ourselves tempted to build fast, eager to address immediate needs and make a tangible impact.</image:title>
      <image:caption>However, this sense of urgency can come at the risk of overlooking the importance of building well. The choice between building "for" or "with" our communities is a crucial aspect of strategic planning and program design for community organizations. In this article, we will explore the essence of this important choice, including pros and cons. BUILDING “FOR” Building "for" the community often involves well-intentioned efforts to address perceived needs. Organizations may develop plans without meaningful input from the people they aim to serve. Pros: quick decision-making process; efficient use of organizational expertise and resources. Cons: potential disconnection from real community needs and aspirations; lack of community ownership and buy-in.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In June 2023, my husband and I were featured in the fifth-year anniversary edition of Hometown St. Thomas magazine, and I’m excited to share it with you. The magazine highlighted five families, including ours, who recently made St. Thomas, Ontario their home. During our interview, we expressed our genuine love for this beautiful city and its welcoming community. St. Thomas holds great potential for growth, and we are enthusiastic about seeing it prosper holistically. Excerpts from our interview: “St Thomas is a beautiful city … However, the places of St Thomas cannot be remarkable without the people of St Thomas. Our favourite part of St Thomas is that it is a welcoming community.” “With the city’s growth prospects, we look forward to seeing St Thomas as a hub for innovative businesses and flourishing young entrepreneurs.” To read the full magazine and our interview, visit the HOMETOWN ST. THOMAS JUNE 2023 | villagerpublications. Turn to pages 22-23 to find our story. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be featured in Hometown St. Thomas magazine, and I look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in this remarkable city.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Welcome to my journey of impact! I'm Amarachi Kejeh, and I am thrilled to have you here. You may be curious about the meaning behind "a.s.k" in my personal brand. It is derived from my full name initials and beautifully doubles as a verb, aligning perfectly with the consulting/education work I do. In this blog post, I want to take a moment to introduce myself, share my journey and passion for creating positive change. Let's get started!</image:caption>
