The first week kicked off with an Instagram live chat with Tania Tome, CEO of Ecokaya, with a chat on self-leadership and “succenergy” – a word coined by Tome to describe the energy needed for success. The hour-long conversation was packed full of practical advice for excelling in today’s world, resonating with the hundreds of listeners online.
Tome is a multifaceted international award-winning economist, entrepreneur, coach and tech advocate. She is also the author of Succenergy – a guide to training your mind for success and energy every day.
During the session, Tome spoke about “learning by doing” which implies committing effort to tasks until you accomplish the goals you set for yourself, the importance of looking inward for internal motivation – understanding your purpose and then aligning yourself with that purpose.
Tome spoke about the importance of ridding the mind of negative thoughts and traits that clouds mind and judgment making it difficult to put yourself in the mind space for excellence.
She also mentioned that it is impossible to control everything in life so it is important to focus on what you can control which is yourself. Other takeaways from her session were the need to maintain a positive attitude, believing in one’s self and the importance of connecting to purpose and letting them fuel your actions.
The following weeks will see equally engaging discussions with Olugbenga Agboola – CEO, Flutterwave (July 8th), Omilola Oshikoya – Wealth Management Expert & Author (July 15th), Nimi Akinkugbe – Nigerian Ambassador to Greece (July 29th), as well as a deep-dive coaching session on strategies for excellence by Juliet on the 22nd July.
