A Leadership Nudge for Anyone Carrying Too Much By Lloyd Munyaviri — L2M Coaching We often imagine “strength” as the ability to hold everything together.

But the truth is far more human, and far more important: Most people don’t fall apart because they feel too much. They fall apart because they carry too much alone. In my coaching work with leaders, teams, parents, teens and

Finger-pointing is a common habit in many workplaces, team, and even family settings. It’s the quickest response when something goes wrong: “You did this wrong.” “You should have done it differently.” “Why didn’t you do it this way?” It’s easy to judge, It’s easy to critique, It’s easy to comment from a distance. But none of these behaviours build capability, confidence or culture. Leadership is not about pointing at the problem it’s about stepping into the arena and contribu

A Real Conversation About Trust, Value and Growth in the Zimbabwean Community By Lloyd Munyaviri | L2M Coaching 🌐 www.L2MCoaching.com The Question That Sparked It All In a conversation with fellow professionals and entrepreneurs, a statement came up that many found uncomfortable yet familiar: “We Zimbabweans don’t like to pay for services especially when those services come from one of our own.” It’s a sweeping generalisation, yes but is it reflective of a deeper sentiment?

What is Mbira? Mbira is one of Zimbabwe’s most iconic and spiritually significant instruments. It consists of a wooden soundboard fitted with metal keys that are plucked with the thumbs and fingers to produce a distinct, shimmering sound. Sometimes referred to as the thumb piano , the mbira belongs to the lamellophone family instruments that create sound through vibrating metal tongues.

They challenge you, stretch you, and sometimes frustrate you but years later, you realise they were mentoring  you all along. I’m a grateful beneficiary and continued beneficiary of mentoring in all its forms. Some mentors offered their time deliberately, others didn’t even realise the difference they made. Some pushed me in ways I resisted, onl

We’ve all been there standing in front of someone, asking the familiar question: “How are you?” And almost instantly, the default answer comes back: “I’m fine.” But are they really? In a world where we move quickly and often talk more than we listen, people especially teens and young adults can struggle to express what’s really going on inside. That’s where tools like the MetaFox “How Are You?” image cards  come in. 🌈 A Picture Speaks When Words Don’t Instead of asking “How
