Leadership is my life
I am responsible for conducting research, writing newspaper articles, conference papers, organizing seminars and conferences. I also submit reports and develop contents for the programmes such as public lectures and so son. Local government is a highly politicized terrain and I have learnt to thread careful and develop correct language necessary for the environment. In addition, I have developed skills in engaging external stakeholders and establishing relationship with similar institutions. I well work with colleagues and team player One of the most important thing I like about this current position is that it involves a considerable amount of writing. Writing allows me to reflect critically on issues pertaining to the work I am doing. The most challenging part of my work is the lack of resources because it affects the entire strategy of the office.
Pros: The environment allows a great degree of upward mobility
Cons: Normal working hours

Excellent learning curve
I enjoyed my work because I met different people every day and this has helped me to be able to interact and communicate with people.there were some challenges, for example we had to help people with municipal services there we had to communicate with officials dealing with that and sometimes we would have to nag them before they could assist and this was frustrating at times because it makes us look like we are not doing oyr jobs well.However, it was so satisfying when I went an extra mile to help people and succeeded because it was good to hear them thanking me and appreciating my assistance.I worked very well with my co-workers and I am gona miss them but life goes on.we also organised programmes for youth and women and thi was great because through those programmes we managed to help many people
Pros: Opportunity to help others through our programmes
Cons: Working after hours and sometimes on holidays and weekends
