I recently had the honor of attending YTOP Global CONFERENCE 2.0, themed "Youth on a Mission - The BeCOMING," and I'm excited to share some invaluable insights I gained from this enriching experience.
Life's journey is a testament to the preparation and effort we put forth today, shaping our aspirations for the next five to ten years. No experience in our journey should be underestimated; every experience, big or small, contributes to our growth and understanding.
Taking responsibility for our actions, making informed decisions, and learning from our mistakes are pivotal in shaping our identity. Our mindset is the cornerstone of our being, guiding us towards our goals. Oluwatomisin OLATOYE shared profound insights on Innovation and Leadership, emphasizing the journey of becoming is personal and individualistic, sometimes even lonely, but it's a path we must embrace. This reflection reminded me of my own journey towards becoming a Data Scientist with a specialization in Quantitative Analysis within the finance industry.
The only guarantee that the journey of becoming leads to a better tomorrow than today is Growth. Growth begins from within and manifests through the effort we invest today. The more effort we channel into our journey, the more value we derive.
Remaining open to new information and thinking critically are essential in achieving our desired outcomes. As Samuel Agunbiade aptly pointed out during the conference, Your inability to see beyond what you were told hampers your journey to your destination.
I'd like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the speakers Bukola Oyebanji PhD, DVM, Adenike Adeyemi PhD, Osato Omo-Osemwingie, Oluwatomisin OLATOYE, Monsurat Ololade, Abbas Ojo, Samuel Agunbiade, EKUNDAYO Oluwadamilare PMP®, mMBA and the host of the panelist session Salvation Aworanti for sharing their experiences and imparting invaluable insights.
