My name is Nonofo Jesse, a Christian whose life’s work is in the areas of social and people development focusing on helping people discover their truest treasure, so that they can refine it and share it! I have dedicated my life to serving others as a coach, consultant and mentor. I am a wife and together with my husband we serve as youth development experts and ministers.
I possess an Executive MBA and a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (HRM) Honours, as well as several certificates in Image and Etiquette Management. I am also a John Maxwell certified coach and trainer. I run Focal Point Human Solutions a company whose core focus is to provide services to clients to improve both business and personal effectiveness, efficiency, productivity, and service delivery.
I do not have a particular inclination towards writing or reading, yet I engage in these activities due to their significant impact and rewards. During my upbringing, I did not particularly enjoy most of the subjects taught in school, especially mathematics and sciences. However, these subjects were highly emphasized, and we were encouraged to invest more effort into them, which compromised my overall schooling experience. Additionally, my playful nature led me to be less serious about my academic performance.
It was only when the results of our senior school examinations were released that I experienced a rude awakening; my grades were not satisfactory, and my options became limited. By God’s mercy, I successfully gained admission to university and made a conscious decision to alter my circumstances for the better.
Through perseverance and determination, I successfully completed university. Although I initially pursued a different course than the one I had originally applied for, it was due to a reassessment of my motives and goals. As a devout Christian seeking God’s will for my life, I realized that my initial choice may have been driven by selfish reasons. Additionally, interactions with a diverse group of individuals revealed certain aspects of my personality, including intolerance, unaccommodating behavior, and impatience, particularly in teamwork settings. These experiences prompted me to reflect on my faith and led me to choose a course that would enhance my ability to work effectively with others and improve my interpersonal skills.
Eventually, I started my career in the Human Resources field and recognized that mainstream HR was not my true passion. However, I discovered my love for helping and working with people through certain aspects of it. This led me to prayerfully decide to pursue a business focused on holistic capacity building after identifying the gaps and challenges many of our clients were facing. Specifically, these included the importance of self-awareness, self-management, self-leadership, and operating within one’s strength zone.
The Art of Brilliance aims to provide readers with practical guidance, advice, and prompts that will enable them to unearth their true self (their inner brilliance), identify gaps in their life which they can then close because of the solutions they will tap into, and equip them to function optimally. The book provides coaching and mentoring to assist individuals in living a life that is authentic and impactful. The journey of self-exploration and adventure that this book provides is an opportunity for individuals to discover their true brilliance. It serves as a valuable tool for people seeking to enhance their lives through self-awareness and introspection, offering one an opportunity to intimately and comprehensively explore oneself!
