*A huge well done to Lynda on securing a role as a Project Manager*

My dearest Adeshola,

It’s with great delight I write this epistle- I just secured a role as a Project Manager with NHS ( Northamptonshire County Council)

Where do I begin? I met you in 2017, when I joined Tritek. Back then I didn’t take advantage of the opportunity to learn. Although our project at the time was halted, most of the people I introduced to Tritek nailed it and got roles, but I didn’t: unserious lol….

Fast forward-2020

I joined Tritek in May determined to succeed. When I called you Adeshola, my words were:  I am serious this time, you know my story and can you can even write my success story we laughed about it.

Our project, Digi Comm kicked off June 15. I was the Deputy Lead PMO and later PMO Lead as my lead left. While on this project I had an unsuccessful interview. Unfazed, I cracked on.

Meanwhile, I met some amazing people here who taught me how to multitask and cope under pressure. On this note, thank you all- Team DIGI- COMM..

I was assigned a PM role on a second Project which kicked off on 14th September- one and only Project CYBER S. This project taught me a lot: people and conflict management, how to lead. My God, I learnt so much working with this team and gained more confidence. I learnt communication and leadership skills, how to negotiate and deal with different stakeholders.

To cut this story, I started applying again after this project ended. Managed to secure 2 interviews over the 200 applications I must have made.

My first PM interview and I got the role. What’s the moral of this whole story? Determination is everything. Set your mind to succeed and you sure will. Back in 2017, I was not determined but it took me 3 years to wake up from my slumber. Oh my God, I am a Project Manager now .

My God, I give you ALL the Glory, HONOUR & THANKS, what you cannot do does not exist. Onishe Iyanu, Agu ne chemba, my rock, words can’t quantify my joy.

Adeshola, Mama Hawk, you see the best in everyone, you made this possible for creating this platform, may your efforts be crowned with more success and more success stories. Love you loads.

I thank you Remi for always seeing the best in me, I appreciate all your help and I will never forget.

To my new PO team, really honoured working with you ( still here oh not going anywhere )

I met amazing people who helped me in one way or the other, my number one fan – Muideen, you became our project support and you have supported me and taught me so much, thank you.

Adejoke & Chukwuma you both believed in me and gave me more confidence every time we talk, this boosted my skills more, thank you both.

Team CYBES S – Super Team, amazing team. Wish you all the best.

I made so many friends on this platform, Emmanuel, Olla 1, Emilia, just to mention a few thank you all-

Olachi Okoro ( my sister for life, thank you for always listening to my interview preps, I wish you success soon)

Everyone out there especially the newbies, like I used to say to my team, keep the fire , don’t relent- you’ve got this  don’t give up.
