About Me

It is in my nature to love, to live, to learn, to grow, to help others, to heal, to teach, to explore, to be fascinated with the unknown, to seek compassion for justice, to love good food, to travel, to see the greatness in everyone, to find beauty in anything, to be intense and passionate with life itself. I am peaceful, understanding, trusting, and comforting. I have a good sense of humor.
As a students in business courses i have been introduced to the fundamentals of business activities and examine the importance of business and management in Kenya. The structure and functions of business are explored with a special focus on business culture and the business context of the markets. Another factor worth considering is that the unemployment rate is dependent on both the numerator and the denominator.
The labor force participation rate is the share of working age population who are either employed or actively looking for work. Labor force participation is essentially the denominator in the unemployment rate calculation. If we hold the number of unemployed constant, this means that as the labor force participation rate rises, the unemployment rate will rise. Conversely, as the labor force participation rate decreases, the unemployment rate will decrease.
Before it has investors, customers, profits, press coverage, or even a perfected product, every startup has at least one valuable asset: its story. So you might want to ask yourself: Who are you? Where did you come from? Why are you doing this?
A nameless, faceless corporation with no real purpose, no story, is not an inspiring place to be. It is difficult to acquire a job as it is so what is left is to implement ideas that i have to create opportunities for myself and society at large. The problem now arises when i have left school and have little and no capital to implement ideas.

My Business

I have thought deeply about games arcade where people can come relax and play PLAYSTATION under one roof with several playing stations. It is estimated at 350, 000 Kshs for start up. Moreover, dry cleaning services that after start up and stability can offer pick up to customers at request for cleaning and dropping after cleaning at cost which is estimated at start up cost of 400, 000 Kshs
What is Business Storytelling?
People tell business stories to communicate and connect with employees, customers, colleagues, partners, suppliers, and the media. Business stories differ from regular stories, in that you tell them with an objective, goal, or desired outcome in mind, rather than for entertainment.
When you tell a story well, it can create an intense, personal connection between your audience and your message. Effective stories can change our opinions, they can inspire us to achieve goals that we didn't think were possible, and they can show us how we can change things for the better.
Types of Stories
1. "Who-I-Am" Stories
These stories explain who you are as a person. They tell others about your dreams, goals, accomplishments, failures, motivations, values, or history.
"Who-I-am" stories are essential to build trust . Tell these stories when you join a new team, or when you need to establish a connection with a stranger.
2. "Why-I-Am-Here" Stories
"Why-I-am-here" stories communicate why you're here, and their aim is to replace suspicion with trust. People want to know, "What's in it for me?" but they also want to know, "What's in it for you?" These stories explain that you don't have a hidden agenda, and that you'll both get something fair out of the situation.
For example, people may be asking themselves if you are passionate about what you do, or are you financially motivated? And are you here for the right or wrong reasons?
You can use "why-I-am-here" stories in fundraising, sales, and situations when you need to build trust quickly, or where you want to reassure someone that you're on a level playing field.
3. Teaching Stories
Teaching stories create an experience that transforms listeners or readers. They show how a change in their behavior, perspective, or skills can lead to meaningful results.
You can also use teaching stories to illustrate a situation, such as a best- or worst-case scenario.
4. Vision Stories
Vision stories inspire people, and encourage them to feel hope or happiness. Here, you convince your audience that their hard work and sacrifice is worth the effort. You need to link their actions to a specific, valuable, and worthy outcome.
Use vision stories when you need to motivate people to change their behavior. They can inspire people to overcome the frustrations, obstacles, and challenges that come with change, so that they can achieve a worthwhile goal or ideal.
5. Values-in-Action Stories
Values-in-action stories reinforce the values that you want your audience to demonstrate or think about. These stories can be positive or negative. For example, you can tell stories that demonstrate integrity, compassion, and commitment, or tell ones that highlight attitudes that you don't want to see - for example, cynicism, a slapdash approach to quality, or a weak work ethic.
6. "I-Know-What-You-Are-Thinking" Stories
"I-know-what-you-are-thinking" stories allow you to address others' objections, suspicions, questions, or concerns before they voice them. With these stories, you need to anticipate your audience's point of view, so you choose a story that deals with their unspoken concerns.
When you tell this type of story, you validate the audience's perspective or worries. This allows them to feel that you're on their side, and that you identify with their emotions. These kinds of stories are valuable in sales, negotiations, or pitches to key stakeholders .
