Your guess is as good as mine, . The impact was remarkable.
Ngozi did not only become more organized; she also earned the respect of her colleagues.
In no time, she became known as someone who could be relied upon to deliver quality work.
Expectedly, her career took an upward trajectory, with promotions and increased responsibilities.
