I brought my team to Moonshot and they came back to say that the moment they mentioned Lenora, many people asked about me and were more receptive.🥹 I also experienced the perceptions people had about our work in real time with how I kept getting introduced to important people & I really just want to say now more than ever, it’s so important to chronically tell the stories behind your journey to excellence as a builder. I even took the mic to ask a question at the storytelling surgery session with @WimbartHope @victorfatanmi & @AishaSalaudeen, I introduced myself as a storytelling consultant & Founder, and someone ( out of many btw ) walked up to me after to say they would like to work with me. I also went the extra mile to share my thoughts with another Founder who had asked a question in the session about storytelling for his business and when I finished talking to him, he was so ecstatic and asked if he could hug me and we also exchanged numbers. No event happens without hiccups, but the quality of experience, conversation and people at Moonshot this year was to die for! I’m so grateful that I got to experience how much of a gem this was and I’m so excited to uncover the opportunities in the connections I’ve made in the last two days. I’m currently ill, my voice is completely gone but the courage & conviction I have about this as the marking of a new beginning? None of you naysayers can steal it from me and we’ll be here in months to come to talk about the aftermath.🙏🏽✨ Thank you so much @TechCabal, Mr Damola Aladekomo, Tomiwa Aladekomo, @lone_Ranger95 and every single person on the team! Special mention to you my queen @eboigbeanita, I know you’ll probably going to give me the look😭 but I’m forever in awe and gratitude to you for how much you’ve done in showing me commitment to excellence pays off. I won’t let you down!🧡✨

Moonshot will never stop being an amazing experience for me. I’ve had the privilege of experiencing it from different perspectives: first as an attendee, then working behind the scenes, and now experiencing it again as both.

Who owns your startup’s IP? It’s a straightforward question. But the answer can become critical when you raise capital, enter a partnership or pursue an acquisition. We unpack why IP ownership matters and what founders should consider.

The best thing you can do for yourself as a woman is to be a moving babe. Heartbreak? Move Job rejection? Move Homelessness? Move Family issues? Move It always pays.

The freelance developer detail got me. I used to think paying for the work settled who owned it. Your point about no clear IP assignment clause is what I would have missed until due diligence. What should a founder get signed first?

You have to make peace as a young person with looking unimpressive or plain for a while, so your wealth can actually grow for the long term

Your developer built the product. But what do your agreements say about who owns the IP? Payment, possession and ownership are not always the same thing. Review the agreements behind the work your business relies on. More on Friday. #StartupFounders #LegalReadiness

In the last 3 years, the work we’ve done @workwithlenora has birthed some incredible opportunities for our clients. We’ve watched clients go on to work with NASA, collaborate on Guinness World Records projects, relocate, land new jobs, bag business partnerships, get promoted to General Manager at a multibillion-naira company etc. It’s been so beautiful to witness. 🥹 And somewhere in all of this, we realised that the work we do as a strategic comms and reputation management company is: helping people build influence from the work they do. So we made something!🥳 Our first-ever playbook, “Build Your Influence in 100 Attempts”, is a little piece of everything we’ve learned about becoming known, trusted, and sought after for the work you do. The idea is pretty simple. Wherever you are on the influence scale, you can make intentional attempts to move higher. And because we want more people to experience what’s possible when they learn to build influence, we’re giving it away for FREE! It goes live tomorrow at Moonshot. 🥹 If you’d like a copy, just lmk in the comment & Our team reps will find you at the National Theatre tomorrow. Speak soon!🥳✨

Jeff Bezos was right, you can be grinding for 4 years with no results, and in the 5th year, you become the biggest thing on the planet. The power of not giving up is real.
