I initiated my career journey as a dedicated volunteer and intern, finding it to be an expeditious path towards advancement in any chosen field. Selecting a mentor and offering assistance through small tasks can significantly accelerate your professional growth, enabling you to navigate past potential pitfalls and benefit from your mentor's experience.

To date, I've successfully built my audience by consistently generating valuable content. This approach has proven effective in attracting an engaged audience that resonates with my message and expertise.

As an IT consultant, actively participating in onsite events enables you to connect with fellow professionals and gain firsthand insights into the unique challenges confronting IT practitioners. This firsthand experience equips you to offer tailored solutions that effectively address specific needs. Notably, in Nigeria, the flourishing Web 3 communities actively host onsite events, while even the Federal Government is engaging in the NITDA Nigeria event, indicative of the growing importance and opportunities within the IT sector

Effective evaluation holds significance for both the trainer and the learner. As an instructor, assessing my learners allows me to validate the effectiveness of my teaching methods tailored to their needs. While evaluation may not be essential for all age groups, it remains a crucial tool for self-improvement, enabling me to identify areas for enhancement in future sessions

As an IT consultant and trainer, I recognize the diversity among learners, catering to various learning styles, including tactile, auditory, and visual methods when instructing non-IT clients. This approach ensures inclusivity and active engagement for all participants. Moreover, my evaluation process is comprehensive, incorporating multiple assessment methods rather than relying solely on a single evaluation test.

To ensure an effective and enjoyable IT training session, I prioritize engaging my audience throughout. Employing diverse techniques, I spark their curiosity and encourage active participation. Introducing topics with captivating stories and thought-provoking questions sets the stage for an interactive learning experience. I gauge their comprehension with quizzes, polls, and interactive exercises, fostering a dynamic and responsive environment. Utilizing scenarios, case studies, and simulations allows them to apply newfound knowledge practically, strengthening their skills. Acknowledging their progress through constructive feedback, rewards, and recognition further motivates and sustains their involvement
