Editor’s Picks: September 8 Edition

Some mornings feel like a chorus—different voices, different instruments, but together, a kind of harmony. Today’s curation stretches from boardroom strategy to faith-filled reflections, from reinvention to resilience. Each story carries its own weight, but together, they remind us of the sweep of ideas shaping our world right now.

Working Smart, Leading Strong

One of my proudest memories still lives in the archives of TRW Consult, where we were honored as official digital media consultants for Nigeria’s 2014 National Conference. The piece, “TRW Consult at National Confab 2014,” shows how strategy and story converge when the stakes are national.

Across the Atlantic, TRW Consult UK picks up the thread with “Unlocking the Power of Data-Driven Marketing: Harnessing Insights for Business Growth,” reminding us that data isn’t just a trend—it’s a leadership tool.

And when careers stall or curve unexpectedly, ThriVers Academy offers a grounded comeback plan in “8 Steps To Get Back On Track From Career Setbacks.”

Publisher’s Thoughts & Thrive Essentials

Our Publisher set the tone for a highly productive week with his thought, “Elevate Your Thinking: How Higher Thoughts Shape Life and Influence,” a piece that insists the mind’s altitude determines life’s direction.

Meanwhile, ThriVe! TV reminds us of value and vision in “The Currency of Achievement.” And the ThriVe! Podcast extends the conversation with “Road to Wealth Part 2,” reminding us that financial journeys unfold step by step.

Security, Science & the Shape of Tomorrow

Workplaces demand balance—of energy, of emotion, of safety. Business Digest explores that balance in “Stress Management and Virtual Assistance: Keys to Triumphant Business Management.”

Health is part of that equation. Health & Fitness Digest looks at life’s inner storms in “Understanding, Managing, and Thriving with Mood Swings.”

And protection is more than policy—it’s preparedness. Security Digest warns with “Five Sources of Workplace Violence and How To Prepare For Its Prevention and Response.”

Finally, Masculine Digest steps into a thorny subject with “Paternity Fraud and How To Handle It,” forcing us to confront hidden crises that cut across families and courts alike.

Living Well: Mind, Body & Style

For anyone stepping beyond borders, Travel Digest offers “Tips for Travelling Abroad for the First Time,” a piece that will help you to turn nerves into confidence.

Opportunity rings, too, in Jobs, Grants & Scholarships, where the “FMDQ Graduate Development Programme” opens doors for new professionals.

And if reinvention is on your heart, Feminine Digest spells it out in “Glow Up Goals: How to Reinvent Yourself in 2025 as a Lady.” Meanwhile, StellAfrique explores global flair in “Gyaru Fashion and Its Influence on Western Fashion.”

Stories, Shelf & Style

The Ready Writers Consult makes a case for brevity in “10 Reasons You Should Write A Short Story.”

For writers thinking long-term, SOI Publishing insists that “Every Author Needs a Website” as the ultimate career tool.

And the Literary Renaissance Foundation elevates the discourse with “LRF Discusses STEM Challenges & Ways to Bridge Gaps in Nigeria.”

Tools, Tactics & Transformation

Identity has gone biometric, and Techie Digest captures that shift in “The Rise of Biometric Authentication: Securing the Future with Your Unique Identity.”

Recognition also belongs to journalism—Stati News honors storytelling power in “Axios New Orleans Wins Prestigious Green Eyeshade Award for Data Visualization.”

And STEM Trends explores the next frontier in “Hyper-Connected Future: How 5G (and 6G) Will Reshape Our World.”

Faith, Feels & Everyday Healing

Faith is personal, but it’s also public. Our Daily Dew Spotlights reflects on “The God Who Gives a New Identity.”

From Daily Dew Devotional, comes “Why You Should Pray for Political Leaders and Statesmen.”

Daily Dew Inspiration offers beauty in “The Story of Sarah’s Vase (1).”

Courage comes through Daily Dew Testimonies, where “I Didn’t Think I Was Cut Out To Be a Christian” feels both raw and relatable.

And grace surprises us in Daily Dew Reflections, which shares “Didn’t See That Coming – Trusting God’s Sudden Blessings.”

Culture, Change & Continuity

Agric Digest keeps us grounded in “Agribusiness,” while Ogidiolu Farms studies “Systematic Agriculture and Its Influence on the U.S Farming System.”

And Naijaspora, showcasing the strides of Nigerians in the diaspora, celebrates “Nigerian Trailblazer Kelechi Ndukwe Reaches New Heights in the US Navy.”

Voices, News & the Nigerian Tapestry

Headlines pull us in many directions. TRW News reports “UK Government to Facilitate Evacuation of Gaza Scholars.”

Church News brings joy in “Bishop Mike Okonkwo Marks 80th Birthday.”

Breaking News covers a courtroom drama in “Australia’s Mushroom Murderer Sentenced to Life in Prison.”

And News Extractors offers sobering science in “Pancreatic cancer spreads to liver or lung thanks to this protein.”

Tool, Book, or Breakthrough

On the bookshelf this week is Soul Rants (A Journey From Within), available via IWE Store. It’s part confession, part revelation, and all invitation to go inward before you go onward.

Every piece here is a reminder that stories—whether from boardrooms or pulpits, farms or fashion runways—have the power to reframe our lives.
