Today I had the pleasure of sharing my own thoughts on this topic with the Girls 4 Girls, UgandaWomen in Sports Cohort 2 led by my dear friend Catherine (Cathy) Nakasi .
Values are the foundation upon which one’s life is built. They are the invisible blocks yet their impact is visible. They are not just words we throw around to sound intelligent.
I often say that we judge people by their values but not our own. When we judge people by our own values, they will always fall short.
Values are the silent or loud voice in your conscience that either cheer you on or condemn you.
Your values will either draw people and opportunities to you or away from you.
This includes personal and professional relationships.
When seeking for job opportunities, beyond salary, make sure you look at the values of the organization you want to work for… if they don’t align with your own, it’s a no go zone.
“Your values create your internal compass that can navigate how you make decisions in your life.” – Roy T Bennett.
(Juliette is an IIGL Graduate).

Meet Our New Students
We had 3 new students this month.
Max Omondi (Kenya)
I’m from a middle-class family of Nyalenda village. Nobody comes in this world, without the support of family and friends. Actually, whatever you will be, it is just because of your family. My father is a respectable businessman in our community. My mother is a teacher. They both love their occupation. That’s I have learned from my parents the value of time, honesty, hard work and commitment to the purpose. We are three brothers and sisters. Being the eldest I am the most liable from my brothers and sisters. I guide and take care of my other siblings. We have our own businesses we are running.
Edward S. Miaway, Sr. (Liberia)
I am a devoted professional with a strong background in Beekeeping /apiculture and agripreneurship. I hold a bachelor degree, in general Agriculture from the Liberia International Christian College (LICC). I have developed a solid foundation in honey production, adding value to local agriculture produce. I am also an alumnus of several programs or fellowship, including the Mandela Washington Fellowship, the One Million Leaders Africa, and Jim Leech Mastercard Foundation Fellowship.
Kenneth Nwakanma (Nigeria)
I am a seasoned strategist, transformational leader, and multi-venture entrepreneur with over two decades of professional experience spanning banking, environmental management, venture building, and organizational development. He has dedicated his career to mentoring, leadership development, and creating systems that enable individuals, businesses, and communities to thrive. My work blends strategic business insight, visionary thinking, and spiritual grounding, positioning me as a thought leader in leadership, entrepreneurship, and personal transformation.

Make A Difference
Dream Team 22
Please join Dream Team 22 as our goal is to have 22 people contributing $22 per month. We understand that money is energy and that to sustain and build IIGL we need a lot of people pouring their energy into this endeavor on a regular basis. We also know that not everyone can afford to commit $22 a month – especially our students, who live in countries with economies in which this amount can be equal to a weeks’ salary. So we are offering two options for those who wish to become a part of the Dream Team. One can commit to a $22 a month contribution or to spending 22 seconds each day holding the vision of IIGL becoming financially sustainable by the end of 2025!
Please join the Dream Team and help us create an energetic foundation to support the transformational work of IIGL! You can really make a difference in the world by making a modest contribution of time or money. To make the $22 a month commitment or a one time donation, click the link below. To become a member of the Dream Team 22 by committing 22 second a day to help us hold the vision, contact Deb for details: drosen2@wi.rr.com
