Couture Africa Magazine - September 2014

En este asunto

As we get into the second leg of COUTURE Africa, year two, we
start with The Power Issue! This time around, we focus on your
personal power, a subject whose self-realisation causes many an ‘aha’
moment. Career and life coach Renee Ngamau takes us through just
what personal power is and how we can achieve it in our main feature
– a definite page turner. We also talk to various industry greats who
have scaled heights, and through hard work and determination are
currently on top of their game. Our gentleman, Big Ted and celebrity
Nonny Gathoni are undisputable trail blazers because they went where
there was no path, and created one for themselves. We also talk to
industry greats such as Isis Nyong’o Madison in technology, James
Smart in news reporting and Wacuka Thimba in make-up, just to get a
more personal perspective to their lives on all matters fashion, beauty
and lifestyle – something we do not read about often.
As I look at all these people – and many more we have interviewed
before, as I listen to (or read) their stories, it always gets me thinking
about that elusively defined ‘power personality’. I am slowly beginning
to realise that there is a common thread that spans across
almost all people who are deemed successful; all people who are
thought leaders and game changers. These people may not be type-
A personalities, but what they all do have in common is their level of
self-assurance and self-confidence. They have a deep knowing that
they can achieve anything they want, and set forth in their journey.
Secondly, whether it comes from passion or the sheer fear of failure,
they also work, and work hard to get what they want. Thirdly, and
most importantly, they speak big. They talk about the end result.
They celebrate success even before they have achieved them, because
deep down they have a knowing that it is their destiny.
