The recent SkillHer Meets session held on Saturday, 25th October 2025, focused on an inspiring and practical topic — “The Power of Preparation: How Readiness Attracts Opportunities.” The session featured Adeyemo Blessing, Founder/CEO of Solacium Space and Jesbee Collections, as the guest speaker. The session was held virtually via Google Meet, bringing together women from the SkillHer community to explore what it truly means to be ready for opportunities  and how intentional preparation shapes success stories. Key Takeaways from the Session Preparation Creates Magnetic Energy:   Blessing emphasized that preparation is more than ]just ticking off tasks — it’s a mindset. When you prepare intentionally, you create a magnetic field that draws opportunities toward you. Readiness signals confidence and capability. Readiness Meets Opportunity:  She reminded attendees that opportunities rarely wait for anyone. The people who seem “lucky” are often those who have been quietly prep...

Earlier in the week on 13th October the world marked the International Day of Failure-a reminder that every misstep carries within it the seed of growth. But beyond failure itself lies something even more important: the courage to keep reaching for opportunities. Opportunities rarely come wrapped in certainty. They often appear out of reach or disguised as challenges, risks, new territories, or even detours from our plans. Yet it’s those who dare to reach — despite fear, doubt, or past disappointments — who find themselves growing in ways they never imagined. Failing forward isn’t about celebrating mistakes; it’s about using them as springboards. Each setback refines our vision, sharpens our instincts, and prepares us for the next opening that life presents. The more we stretch toward possibility, the more capable we become of turning the unknown into achievement. So as we reflect this season, let’s keep our hands — and hearts — open. The next opportunity may not look perfect, but it m...

Every October 11 , the world pauses to celebrate girls , not as a symbol of tomorrow, but as leaders of today. Yet, millions of girls still face barriers to education, opportunity, and agency. At SkillHer, we believe the solution is simple: invest in girls. This year’s theme, “Invest in Girls’ Rights: Our Leadership, Our Well-being,” is a reminder that empowerment goes beyond access. It is about equipping girls with the skills, confidence, and networks to write their own stories. Through our programs, we’ve seen shy voices turn into bold leaders, learners grow into trainers, and young women step into roles once deemed out of reach. Our pledge remains clear: Expand training and mentorship for girls. Build safe spaces for learning and leadership. Break down barriers that hold them back. To every girl: you are not only the future:  you are the present. And at SkillHer, we stand with you every step of the way. Happy International Day of the Girl Child. Let’s not jus...

Opportunities rarely announce themselves — they simply show up. And when they do, the question is: will you be ready? At SkillHer, we’ve learned that preparation is the quiet force behind every breakthrough. Whether you’re a student preparing for your next big step, a career woman seeking growth, a business owner building something new, or someone waiting for the next season to unfold, one truth remains: readiness attracts opportunities. Preparation builds confidence. It sharpens your thinking, strengthens your capacity, and helps you see doors others might miss. It’s not about being perfect — it’s about being positioned. Keep refining your skills. Keep updating that proposal, your portfolio, or that pitch deck. Read, learn, and connect. Stay ready in your spirit and your mind. Because when the right opportunity comes — and it will — it will meet you prepared, not panicked. Remember: you don’t rise to the level of your dreams; you rise to the level of your preparation. So wherever you ...
