I’m a curious generalist who loves solving complex problems, challenging the status quo, and building solutions that help people and organizations grow. I’ve always been drawn to work that connects strategy with people. My current focus is building AI tools, systems and partnerships to help businesses achieve their goals. 

As Founder of Anutio, I help organizations achieve bottom-line revenue by mapping business goals to employees' career development needs. Anutio helps organizations visually see, understand, and grow their people by mapping skills to business capability needs, uncovering internal talent, and connecting employees to meaningful growth opportunities —  making career development planning and allocation of training budget more measurable, tangible, transparent, and human.

I truly enjoy turning abstract ideas into practical outcomes, working closely with teams to translate insights into real solutions that make a difference.

Ehi Agbonlahor 

20 years ago, I was focused only 
on getting my agriculture degree.							
							
I thought success meant following 
the traditional career path.							
							
But here's what I wish I knew then:							
							
✅ Exposure is everything. 
While I was hiding behind textbooks, 
opportunities were passing me by.							
							
✅ Social connections matter. 
My shy, introverted self missed countless
chances to build meaningful relationships.							
							
✅ Diverse experiences shape us. 
Staying in my agriculture space 
limited my perspective.							
							
I remember thinking:	 

📌Will exploring other paths waste my time?	
 📌What if I lose focus on my studies?							
📌Am I risking my future?							
							
But now I understand:	
						
✓ Growth happens outside your 
comfort zone							
✓ Skills come from varied experiences							
✓ Networks build unexpected
 opportunities							
✓ Exposure creates opportunities 
to apply the knowledge from school							
							
The truth is, I was trapped in 
my own limiting beliefs.		
					
And the story we've been told 
about what the path to a 
successful career looks like. 
							
Heads-down study hard. 
And after that find a job to 
apply what you studied. 							
							
Looking back, I wouldn't change my agriculture background - but I would change how I approached those years.							
							
The lesson? 
🔹Don't wait to explore. 
🔹Don't hide from connections. 
🔹Don't limit yourself to one path.							
							
Your early career years
are meant for discovery. 
Embrace the uncertainty. 
Learn from every experience.							
							
P. S: Are you ready to step out of your comfort zone? The opportunities are waiting.

9 top networking tips to use in your daily life

Most people still think networking 
means showing up at an event, 
smiling awkwardly, and collecting 
business cards you’ll never use.

Let me show you a better way.

Real networking is what you 
do daily not occasionally.

It’s not a one-time pitch. 
It’s a relationship strategy.

Here are 9 practical ways to network better, 
even if you’re introverted or hate small talk:

1. 🌟Speak up in meetings. 
At work. At School. 
Any Group you find yourself.
It’s visibility in action. 
People can’t connect with who they don’t notice.

2. 🌟Ask intentional questions 
At webinars or live events.
Make yourself memorable by 
engaging with the speaker or host.

3. 🌟Comment meaningfully on LinkedIn.
No “great post” comments. 
Add insights or reflections 
that show your thinking.

4. 🌟Offer help without being asked.
People remember who added 
value especially when there 
was no transaction attached.

5. 🌟Keep a gratitude + value list.
Each week, reach out to 
someone to thank them or share 
something valuable with them.

6. 🌟Build bridges across departments.
Don’t just network within your team. Cross-functional relationships 
matter more than you think.

7. 🌟Introduce people to each other.
Position yourself as a connector
Not just a collector.

8. 🌟Follow up without asking for anything. "Hey, I remembered something 
you said last month, thought 
this resource might help.” 

That’s how trust is built.

9. 🌟Be the kind of person 
people want to talk to.
Kind, curious, and clear. 
It’s not just what you say, 
It’s how you say it.

Networking is intentional effort built over time.

And if you learn to treat every day 
like an opportunity to connect, 
you’ll never be without opportunities.

Most professionals are distracted by things that don’t even matter.

The job market is noisy. 
And many smart people fall 
into the trap of chasing:

🔹 Fancy job titles
🔹 Endless certifications
🔹 Generic “how to get hired” advice

Meanwhile, what actually matters is ignored:

✔️ Your positioning
✔️ Your brand
✔️ Your strategy
✔️ Your skillset
✔️ Who you know and who knows you

I say this because I’ve been there.

When I shifted my focus to what
truly mattered, everything changed for me.

Check yourself today, 
are you chasing things that 
will really move you forward?

What is the worst that could happen?

Many times when I am 
presented with opportunities

And what feels right to me is not 
what makes sense to everyone else,

I find that I am tempted to listen 
to everyone else but myself.

When I am in this headspace, 
faced with the choice of betting 
on myself versus going with the 
bandwagon, 
I ask myself this question:

✔️ What is the worst that could happen?

 I list out:
⏺ all the possible outcomes of my choice
⏺ the impact/implication of each outcome
⏺ if, how and what I might be able 
to do to cushion the effect. 

I call it the worst case scenario analysis (WCSA).

🔹It helps remove the mental block 
🔹And creates an emotional reserve 
for any of the outcomes including 
those I did not foresee. 

It puts me in a mindset to be ready 
to adapt as needed. 

So far, it has worked for me.

The purpose of this worst-case 
scenario analysis for me is not to 
determine whether or not I should proceed.

But 
⭕ When and how I should proceed.
⭕ How much damage a possible fail might be, 
⭕ How much emotional reserve and 
maybe material armour I need, 
to cushion the effect.

Because over the years, I have seen the pattern:
Betting on myself always paid off. 

Even when it seemed like a fail, 
there was always an upside.
 
So whenever I'm at the WCSA phase, 
it means I'm going to do it. 

If you are ever in doubt whether 
to bet on yourself or not.
And you like to work with data 
and logic more than emotions.

📌 Try the WCSA.

From experience, I would always 
choose to bet on yourself.

Fancy degrees do not equal great employees.				
 
Every manager knows this truth.				
 
Hiring is not a guessing game. 
It's about finding the right fit.				
 
Experience:				
✅ Skills and knowledge matter 
more than a shiny diploma.				
✅ Real-world experience shows how 
a person handles tasks and challenges.				
 
Character:				
✅ Traits like reliability 
and teamwork are key.				
✅ A strong work ethic 
beats a fancy title any day.				
 
Potential:				
✅ Look for candidates 
who can grow and adapt.				
✅ A willingness to learn is more 
valuable than past accolades.				
 
Hiring should focus on what truly matters.				
 
Degrees can impress, but 
they don't guarantee success.				
 

📌 Remember: 
Great employees are made, not born.

Nearly all career problems can be 
solved with personal branding

🔹Career stagnation.
🔹Lack of clarity. 
🔹Constant rejection.

Many professionals face these 
problems and look for external solutions. 

More degrees, random applications, 
or a career transition.

But here’s the truth:

Most career problems are actually 
branding problems.

When people don’t know:

▶️ What you stand for
▶️ How you add value
▶️ What makes you different

They’ll overlook you even if you're qualified.

These 3 items need to be clear in all your
conversations including your resumes,
interviews, speaking engagements 
and networking chats.

Your personal brand is your career currency.

It opens doors, builds trust, 
and positions you for opportunities 
you never knew existed

Are you intentionally building your personal brand? 
Or are you letting the job market define you?

5 Harsh Truths No One Tells You 
About Career Transitioning.

Making a career transition is exciting, 
but it’s not all fun. 

Here's what you need to know 
before making a leap. 

1️⃣ You might be ignored.

Recruiters won’t call. 
Applications will disappear into 
thin air and it's not personal, 
it's just how the game works.

➡️ Create your own opportunities 
to fast-track your success.

2️⃣ Your experience isn’t enough.

A decade of experience or a fancy 
resume won’t automatically open doors.

➡️ Build a portfolio of results, 
case studies, personal projects, 
or testimonials that show real impact. 

3️⃣ Some people will doubt you.

Friends, family, even mentors may 
question your decision especially 
when your job is stable.

➡️ Stay focused, find a support system, 
and let your results speak for you.

4️⃣ You might not make money at the start.

Shifting careers often means 
taking a step back. 
Less pay, fewer opportunities, and 
moments of doubt.

➡️ But here’s the thing: short-term 
losses can lead to long-term wins. 
Think like an investor; sacrifice now 
to build something bigger later.

5️⃣ Action beats planning.

No amount of planning can replace execution.

➡️ Too many people ‘research’ career 
moves for years. 
Winners take the first step, adapt, 
and figure it out along the way.

Your resume is not the place 
to be humble about your 
career achievements.

Here are 12 tips to make 
your resume standout

✅ Summary paragraph should not 
exceed 3-4 lines.
     ↳ You could use bullets here to 
make it skimmable.
     ↳ Show your years of experience here
     ↳ Show one or two key impressive 
career achievements here

✅ Focus on your most 
relevant experience for the job

✅ Use bullet points for each experience.

✅ Each experience should not 
have more than 3-5 bullet points.

✅ Showcase your achievements 
NOT a list of responsibilities.

✅ Draw attention with 
numbers and percentages.

✅ Each bullet point 
should not exceed 1-2 lines.

✅ Ensure the core tools/requirements 
for the role are captured.

✅ Make your resume skimmable: 
     ↳ Leave white space. 
     ↳ Leave margin space. 
     ↳ Use legible and consistent font.
     ↳ Use simple language and short sentences.

✅ Use industry keywords from 
job description to catch recruiter’s eye.

✅ Skip details like age, marital status, 
and other personal information etc

✅ Make your name and contact 
information easy to find at the top.

I discovered this hard truth 
in my career journey

Employees don’t leave only bad jobs. 
They also leave jobs with no 
growth opportunities.

When people feel stuck, 
they start looking elsewhere.

So how can companies retain top talent? 
By prioritizing career development.

Here’s what a true growth culture looks like:


➡️ Clear Career Paths 

Employees need to see 
their future in the company. 

➡️ Mentorship & Sponsorship 

Investing in people creates loyal,
 high-performing teams. 

➡️ Leadership Development 

Training future leaders should 
be among top priorities.

➡️ Internal Mobility 

If employees have to leave to grow, 
something is broken. 

➡️ Continuous Learning 

A company that encourages 
skill development stays ahead.

What are some ways you’d want an employer 
to support your career development?

I haven’t always been good with money. In fact, I’ve made some mistakes that cost me more than just money—they cost me confidence in my ability to handle finances.

Like the time I invested using someone else’s capital without fully understanding the risks. I lost part of it because I didn’t research the countries I was investing in. I relied on graphs from emails and didn’t study past financial records. Add exchange rate losses to the mix, and it was a financial storm I wasn’t prepared for.

Budgeting was another lesson I learned the hard way. I used to believe that making more money would fix my financial problems. But the truth is, without a clear plan, more money can slip away just as quickly. I didn’t just lose money—I lost opportunities and the confidence to grow my finances.

That experience changed me. It made me realize that financial independence isn’t just about earning—it’s about understanding, planning, and taking control of your money.

Today, I’ve turned those lessons into a mission. As a Financial Therapist and Personal Finance Educator, I help young people with irregular incomes gain control of their finances, avoid common mistakes, and scale their income. I know how overwhelming it feels to juggle income inconsistencies, savings goals, and financial growth. That’s why I’m here to guide you through the process.

With a degree in finance and accounting and a background in financial analysis, I combine knowledge and empathy to provide practical, actionable steps. Through free 1:1 financial independence sessions, speaking engagements, and content creation, I aim to empower young people to rewrite their financial stories.

My vision is simple: To create a generation of financially confident individuals who know how to earn, save, and scale their income.

If you’re ready to take charge of your finances, gain emotional confidence around money, and build a sustainable income, let’s connect. I’m also available for speaking engagements, coaching, and partnerships to spread financial literacy further.

yessss let's spread the word 📢📢📢📢📢
Together, we’ll rewrite your financial story.
