Osas Olumese Training Institute

Yay!!! So excited to tell you about this event happening in Kano, this March I would be speaking again!! This is my second speaking assignment in four (4) months. It is seems to be coming in short interval. Personal Development and Impact Conference Anyways, I would be speaking at Personal Development and Impact Conference #PDIC2019, on the topic ”Discover you”. I would be speaking alongside my brother Pastor Edward Olumese, his wife Pastor Ogechi Olumese, Pastor Godwin Ogwuche and Jennifer Agunloye of GiST . These names should sound familiar, if you live in Kano State Nigeria, and if you attend events. I would be sharing some discovery I made about me, which I have leveraged on in my entrepreneurial journey. You would be sure to learn a whole lot, and be fired up to be more. I am certain you would leave the conference with action points, drawing from what you would learn from all the speakers. Guess what? Registration is free! Decide to be a p

Most intentional relationship start with awkwardness, and as the relationship begins to change level, there is that awkward again. To make the most of any relationship, relationship building activities must (no matter the awkwardness) be adhered to . With time, the awkwardness dies a natural death. I have discovered, that anytime new people begin a new relationship with our business, I go through this awkward phase with them, before we start getting used to each other. (Am I the only person who have felt this way?... Please share with us your awkward moments in the comment box). For a fashion intern, the above case is true, especially in a business where the structure around internship is undefined (I must say this is true for a lot of fashion businesses) You must never forget your goal, which is to learn as much as you can in the time available. And to do this, you must be willing to interact with the persons doing the work you want to learn... There will be a lot of 

As an introvert, I find it easier to talk… or should I say communicate with persons who show interest in what I am saying… If I am talking to you, and you don’t realize when I stop talking, then you are not interested in what I have to say… Asides from being an introvert, the above way is one way identified by Dale Carnegie in his book “How to win friends and influence people”. How this does relates to the title of this blog post? As fashion designers, our team members must be made up of people who are genuinely interested in your point of view, because, you would be working with them to make your vision a reality. If they are not genuinely interested, actualizing your vision would be a lot of back and forth. Generally this is the case…that is the back and forth part, but it is greatly reduce by the   interest of your fashion team members. Their interest somehow gives the Fashion designer “freedom” to share his / her ideas. When this freedom is there, the creati

Hello,  I am Miss Chinwe. I'm here to tell you about my experience in Osas Olumese Training Institute. Firstly, it is a fashion school where pattern drafting is used. Seriously, I enjoyed my learning here... though when I started, it wasn't really funny because I was not following nor understanding the pattern at all. I must confess, I wasn't really following during my skirt variation class. At a point I told myself that this is really a waste of time and resources but as we all know, nothing good comes easily. I continued coming. During the bodice class, I opened my mind and I conciously avoided distractions, and I enjoyed every moment of the class. I would say it's better to start early, especially if you have passion for it,  than to procrastinate. When I started this fashion school, the funds wasn't there but grace kept me going. At this point I would say there is nothing wrong with having a handiwork. Are you still thinking of a great pl

Wow!!! We are 3 days to the end of February 2019, and the question I ask myself is "How well have I worked on achieving my goals". And as an organisation that have a goal to teach sewing and pattern drafting skills, we have goals on how many persons we would love to take our course. Out doing ourselves in accomplishing this goal, do have mouthwatering results. The truth is that a goal without action plan for accomplishment is wishful thinking. What is holding you back from accomplishing your sewing and pattern making goals? Identifying this would help you identify your next course of action. If you have no knowledge, and you would love to gain knowledge, look no further. We would teach you in a timely and efficient manner. Learn about our course offering here . Starter Course begins on the third week of March. Limited slots are available so quickly make your decision today. 

" We started out the project with a goal to put smiles on the faces of the children, we ended the project having smiles also on our faces... " Above is a cut out of the messages I sent out to those who partnered with us for Project Smile.  exciting interaction As the day approached, we knew we need to capture moments, and Lodade Sowole of Never too Glam , was just a call away. She came out in her stylish self, adding more colour to our outing, not forgetting also capturing moments. We would have a mini fashion show and we needed finger foods... Ada Faith Alisgwe was all in, ensuring all the food we needed was available before we set out. We needed people who were partnering with us to see the progress we had made as regards the clothing, and Sarah Isaac, was our in-house photographer, taking pictures of clothes that have been made. Sarah was also our DJ, we knew we did not want any dull moment, and we needed some high vibe music. She ensured we ha

How does it feel when you start the year accomplishing your goals? As I type this blog entry, it is exactly two weeks since we executed Project Smile, and the smile on my face, as I remember details of the event ... is real. This is a goal we have had for over three years. I remember telling one of my customer / friend, that we would be executing the project in February, and her response was "you haven't done it yet?" I as a person have had to question my motive. I knew I wanted to do this, via the vehicle of Osas Olumese, and OOTI, but why? would I want to do this? Reliving the event that led to the execution: Changing project managers Changing execution tactics Changing production style Requesting Partnership from other businesses Asking for partnership from inner circle ... the list goes on, and on... It was an intense growth period. I did things that did not come naturally to me without even over thinking it. Ah.... Yes the Proj
