Session Recap: The Power of Preparation; How Readiness Attracts Opportunities

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
  1. 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.
  2. Readiness Meets Opportunity: She reminded attendees that opportunities rarely wait for anyone. The people who seem “lucky” are often those who have been quietly preparing for their moment long before it arrived. Preparation positions you for recognition, growth, and success.
  3. The Difference Between Perfection and Preparation: Blessing clarified that preparation is not about perfection. It’s about progress and consistency. Perfection can paralyze, while preparation propels. Every small effort compounds into competence.
  4. Develop a Filtering Mindset: Preparation sharpens discernment — it helps you know which opportunities align with your goals and which ones to decline. Blessing encouraged participants to keep learning, stay open-minded, and build resilience in the face of change.
  5. Keep Your Mind Open and Evolving: This was a reminder that growth begins with openness. A prepared mind welcomes feedback, new perspectives, and challenges — all of which are key ingredients for lasting success.
Other important reminders from the Speaker
Preparation is an ongoing process, not a one-time event.
Readiness attracts opportunities — hesitation repels them.
Progress over perfection — take the next small step.
An open and adaptable mindset keeps you relevant and ready.
The SkillHer Meets session with Adeyemo Blessing inspired attendees to reflect on how they’re showing up for their goals. True preparation, she shared, starts from within — in your thoughts, habits, and daily actions.
As we move into the final quarter of 2025, this session was a powerful call to action: Stay ready, so you never have to get ready.

Image
The recent SkillHer Wellness Session held on 25th January, 2025 focused on an essential aspect of health—preventive care. Led by Abisoye Ruth Adesanya, a nurse, midwife, and health educator, the session emphasized the importance of proactive health management through The Wellness Cycle, a framework designed to help individuals assess, adjust, and achieve optimal well-being. This SkillHer event was held via Google Meets, increasing accessibility and inclusivity. Key Takeaways from the Session: The Power of Preventive Care  Participants were introduced to the importance of preventive health measures rather than waiting for illness to strike. A powerful example shared during the session is the story of Mercy, a woman who had always considered herself healthy and often skipped routine medical check-ups. However, when she finally decided to undergo a mammogram, doctors detected an early-stage breast cancer that was easily treatable. This case underscored how early detection can be life-...
