Determination, Focus, Hard work. These are words that I live by. My name is Betty Enyonam Kumahor, and my career spans Computer Sciences Corporation, MCIWorldCom, Ernst & Young, ThoughtWorks, and my own firm,
The Cobalt Partners.
For over 20 years, I have been involved in building efficient systems – software, business operations, public-private partnerships – and I have no intention of stopping! I’m an experienced problem solver, a public speaker, and a talent development coach. I am always enthusiastic about motivating others to achieve their success.
Outside of my work, I enjoy long walks, Formula 1, and great conversation over a glass of wine. Above all, I enjoy being a doer who is striving to make the world I touch a better place.

So… you have been put in a position where you now lead people. Your responsibility is now to motivate and direct people to achieve a common goal. It is a big responsibility, and when it’s done right it can be very rewarding.
The thing about being a leader is that you are often illuminating or forging a path where one is not clear or perhaps does not even exist. You’ve got to be at least one step ahead of everyone else – reminding them of the ultimate goal, and clarifying the steps along the path.
We often make “getting organized” far more complex than it needs to be … than it ought to be.
We think it means we have to be neat, clean, square-edged and particular … everything having a precise and exact place.
Once I have explained that the most effective way to get through your tasks is to list them by context, the next thing I often get asked is … well how do I deal with what’s priority?
All the champagne bottles have been cleared.
The fireworks display memories already fading.
The cheesy midnight grin is being replaced as thoughts of getting back to business return.
It’s a new year – time to make things happen!
When I first read “Getting Things Done” by David Allen in 2001, I was instantly intrigued by the concept of the mind like water. What if instead of feeling pummeled by the world coming at me, I could glide … flow. Aaaahhhh.
We’re human. As much as we triumph is as much as we falter. We have different emotions, and different moods coursing through us. There’s a constant ebb and flow. It’s not realistic to think that you will be happy ALL the time. Nor do we have to be unhappy ALL the time.
We’re human. There’s a cadence … a rhythm … to our emotions. Have you factored that into your productivity and leadership?
