Inspiring Ordinary people to live Extraordinary Lives
Welcome to No Ordinary Life
Welcome to No Ordinary Life
In brief, No Ordinary Life is a careers-motivation platform which aims to inspire young people and all ages, to realize their dreams, passions and interests, and take meaningful routes to get there.
Established in 2016, we have a vision for young people and beyond to have access to informal supplementary education, skills and training, and to help them attain their full dreams and live their best lives.
Our motto is 'inspiring ordinary people to live extraordinary lives' and over the past few years, we have been sharing stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things by pursuing their talents or passions.
Our target group are teenagers, youth and beyond because we believe there is no age limit to pursuing your career goals or personal ambition.
Our theme for the year 2025 - Gye Nyame 'Except God'
Our theme for the year 2025 - Gye Nyame 'Except God'
Welcome to the year of "Except God"
Last year 2024, our theme was the 'The Year of You' and our goal as a motivational platform was to keep encouraging you to unleash your full potential, embrace your uniqueness, and become the best version of yourself 💪
For 2025, our theme is the 'Gye Nyame'. Gye Nyame is an Akan expression from Ghana 🇬🇭 that literally means “Except God”
It expresses the omnipotence and supremacy of God in all affairs. Check out this short clip explaining the theme.
In this first quarter of 2025, we have launched the 'Start series'. The Start series will feature a series of webinars and workshops on how to get start in developing yourself in the areas of career, personal development and business and finance. Check out our upcoming events and sign up your attendance.
