Think Like a Researcher, Act Like a Business (Wo)Man

Have you seen this movie yet? You’re missing!

Dear Researcher, if you are considering what life holds for you outside academia, this letter is for you. 

I found this message while fiddling with LinkedIn mobile yesterday morning. I was checking out the different groups I had joined, and this struck me as really interesting. 

 

The status update was posted in the group “PhD to Consulting”, and it was so good that I decided to share it on Diary of a Media Junkie. 

 

3 Lagos Shows on Point!

If you thought Nollywood was a big thing, I see something bigger brewing… it is the influx of “ONLINE TV” dramas from Nigeria. 

 

Let’s start with GIDI UP… I would’t have known about this amazing drama-let, but for my Mediafritique subscription that kept delivering each new episode to my email box each week (Shout to Chichi Mambo)!

Leke Alder…Serious Professional, Relationship Coach

I have been following Leke Alder for a while now on Twitter. 

 

The “Leke Alder” I’ve always known is an established and successful management consultant… I mean, his organisation was sometimes a reference point in my office (when I worked with a brand management firm) – Alder Consulting is that good!

 

However, for the past few weeks, I’ve been seeing him drop RELATIONSHIPS wisdom nuggets from his Twitter account every Saturday - and every saturday, I keep telling myself “Tee curate these things“. Well, this saturday, I have finally gotten round doing just that (fire “procrastination” – boom!Pow!). 

A Tale of Armed Robbers

On Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, SECURITY ranks really high (very important). I came across these tweets narrating the tweep’s ordeal at the hands of armed robbers in his home sometime this month. 

What can we do about the security situation in Nigeria? Any thoughts? Practical and SMART solutions. 

 

This week,right in the comfort of my bed, I was woken up with a gun in my face at 2am. Armed robbers.My initial reaction was WTF
