Came across this photo in my gallery, triggering memories of the event that gave rise to it. I was actively part of the team organizing the inaugural Ife Great Debate in collaboration with GAVEL CLUB OAU, commemorating OAU's 60th anniversary. During one of our debate sessions, as the cameras rolled and live streaming commenced for our online audience, the event anchor was nowhere to be found. We were confronted with potential chaos and we couldn't let this happen. I stepped in, unintentionally becoming the MC. It was challenging, yet I managed to navigate it adeptly, and this moment left me with valuable insights I will like to share. 1. Embrace the Unexpected: Life is full of surprises, and this event reinforced the need to embrace the unexpected. What initially seemed like a setback turned into an opportunity for personal growth and resilience. 2. Leadership Emerges in Unexpected Places: This experience highlighted that leadership can emerge unexpectedly. Sometimes, stepping up in challenging situations reveals leadership qualities within us that we may not have recognized before. 3. Adaptability is Key: The unforeseen absence of the event anchor taught me the importance of being adaptable. In moments of crisis, the ability to think on your feet can make all the difference. Lastly, we often discover our untapped capabilities when pushed to the brink.
