Green Growth

Sustainable development is the only viable growth model that puts our economic growth with out compromizing nature and it is up to us individuals to make the right choices and influence to our common future.

Leadership

John C. Maxwell said, "Everything rises and falls on leadership" and I am in to buying it all.

Business Strategy:

As much as I am courious on development, I am equally impressed with the power of business to shape the development of countries.

Digitalization

If there is one thing that makes us equal at a world stage, it is digital. The wise, invest more and faster to create endless possibilities for its citizens.

Modern Energy Access("Rural")

Energy is an enabler to every economic sector. Social, environmental and economic progress will be constrained without it. Until we make sure that everyone has access to modern form of energy, I will continue to be a voice in all my capacity. My hope is that every Ethiopian ( and African) has access to energy sooner than later.

This is my personal blog for everthing in life. For my professional aspirations, I will be available in other platforms as well. I came to believe that much of my career and personal growth depends on my own choices 90 percent of the time.

I came to realize that we won't grow until we show up and take massive action and it is my call for every one of you who come to my personal blog to do the same.

Staying positive and laser focussed is my course of action by choice and I love to educate my self if we cross a line. Follow me here as well. I almost find my Why and you can too.

Look Around- Wisdom is Under the Surface

Five years ago, a senior colleague (an African Expat) and I went out for a business trip in to one of the countrysides of Ethiopia to see if the project we used to supervise was going well. In one late afternoon, while we were on the field full of bushes and shrubs, my colleague disappeared from the scene and I was worried that something bad might happen to him given he was a complete stranger with no good grasp of the local language. After a few minutes of up and down searching, I found him safe sitting and talking with a farmer who happened to be around. To my wonder, both were having a great time smiling and chatting drawing the little words we taught to the expat colleague. Related Read: Aligning Ethiopian Energy Markets for Innovation and More Jobs Ensuring he was safe, I had to ask him what interested him to leave me and join the farmer in an environment he was not familiar with. His answer was awakening. You know what, he said to me: This man (the farmer) is a leader in

My advise to Ethiopian Youth (Probably My Younger Self)- Live for a Cause Worthy of Your Precious Time

I personaly believe that today's youth is born with tremendous opportunities but with constant distractions. Far and in between, select few decipher the code and navigate the complex journey to their advantage. The large mass are yet to take longer. Back in the days when I was at primary and secondary schools, Temar Lijie was the driving motto. I now know that strong motivation has been steadily waning even if we know eduaction is even far important today and in the future. If we think we do not see the value of knowledge as most does these days, it is time to ask ourselves a better question. Educating ourselves and aquiring the right set of knowledges and skills is far more than a financial metric. Our success and happpines all depends on it. Knowledge continues to be a potential power for change . The only question to ask is whether the formal education is enough to empower us in the work place and in business. As much as there are massess of people wondering how to survive the

Tele Birr Opens New Opportunities for Growth-Time to Shape the Business Mindset

Slowly yet surely, innovation(digital) is taking ground in the Ethiopian market for real. Over the years, reliable and easily accessible payment option has been one of the real bottlenecks to translate innovation in to value especially for digital products and services. tele birr is here now as a real opportunity at Ethiopian youth’s disposal. The business environment has been in clear lack of innovations over the years due to the fact that there were not sufficient incentives to do so in the market place. As witnessed in neighboring countries, mobile money applications such as tele birr are real recipes for financial inclusion particularly to the rural mass of the Ethiopian population who would not otherwise be connected to any financial instruments for many years to come. As the financial inclusion fosters across the country as the result of the application of tele birr , increased and new demands emerge for products and services. With an innovative business mindset anchorin

For Ethiopian New Graduates & Youth: Defining ICT (Infrastructure) Roles in the Market Place!

Caption: Google. 👉 If you are like me, read this piece. The schools I went for did not prepare me well for jobs. Over the years, I have to learn everything by myself and the hard way. Over the last few years, I have the pleasure of working with new employees and mentor interns as part of my current role and I came to learn that much has not changed at schools since I left. Hoping it will help new graduates clarify the job roles and expectation in the industry and tailor their approach to prepare well advance, let me briefly clarify the roles and expertise required in the ICT sector. Bear in mind that this advice focuses more on the infrastructure aspect as opposed to applications. As you know it, business is multidimensional and usually multiple disciplines are needed to run it effectively. For now, I will narrowly focus more on the technology part. Technology itself covers many product lines and evolves quickly and I will approach the subject more broadly. Life tho

Aligning Ethiopian Energy Markets for Innovation and More Jobs

They say ' Necessity' is the mother of 'Invention' and 'Opportunity' is its father. As in any society, Ethiopia needed cash but its business environment has never been sufficiently oriented that way. The digital apps, plugins or features we browse on a daily basis whether for business or fun are mostly developed by academic researchers or entrepreneurs sponsored and commercialized by market players anywhere else. Why not in Ethiopia? At the very best, Ethiopian graduates come up with new ideas, concepts and demonstrations every year to serve their academic purposes yet we often do not hear continuation or upscaling of their work to solve societal problems and benefit themselves in financial terms. In my experience, the main reason, if I have to blame, is the lack of commercial orientation of the market in the country. Societal problems are mostly the same across the globe and a software built to solve an Ethiopian problem, for example, can also help solve a

My 6 Years Old Son Taught Me a Lesson-----Resilience

Popcorn-Photo Credit- Father To clear the context for a reader in the future, COVID-19 disrupted all of our life style in a way we have never seen before. Almost all countries fall for complete or partial lockdown to contain the spread of the virus. In Ethiopia too state of emergency was declared. Schools at all levels closed. The government allowed non- essential workers to stay home and work from there. Every emergency action including quarantining, testing, isolating, medicating and every recommended preventive measures are being taken since the outbreak of the pandemic has been declared.

Drink the Last Beer: Based On True story

Phot credit @google By any measure, Ethiopia is a big country be it historical, Natural resource, population wise, geographically or in whatever measure we take in. Sometimes, it is hard to accept the country stays poor (material wise) given the huge potential we sit on. Labor (a fraction of 100 million people), resource (Land, water) and capital , essentially driven from the first two, are the three most important factors required for development, and we have enough of them. Yet, we remained at the rock bottom in the development ranking. Why? For example, we proudly claim (rightly so) that Ethiopia is among the top tourism destinations but tourism's contribution to the country's GDP is well below the figure in neighboring Kenya. Given its history, there is no doubt that there happen to be foreigners, intellectuals, who explored the country upside down and understands it well more than the nationals think we know our country and ourselves. There is no question that the lik
