She further stated that “In building global competence you should understand that learning never ends.” If you see people in your field doing perfectly well and you want to achieve the same, you have to ask yourself, do they stop learning? So never stop learning.
She ended by saying In competence building you have to learn to check yourself, If you want to build your competence, you must know how to make research.
Samuel Oyediran also has something to say, he said: “Skills are not the certificate you get but the ability to do a work the right way.”
He continued by saying your skills are the professional expertise that will bring out your Global Relevance and if you want to develop global relevance, you need to know what you want.
When Samuel was asked about how he developed his Global Relevance, he said and I quote “I don’t joke with networking, any program I join I make sure I have something to offer.”
He also backed what Tolulope Oguntayo said by saying “never stop learning if you want to develop your global relevance.”
He further stated that youths should focus on the process of Competence Development because the process is like a map and you must have a track record first.
He ended by saying “Know what you want in this world, though you will be used but it will be your strength.”
Oladepo Praise the Co-host continued from there by asking a powerful question.
QUESTION: What are the pot-holes to avoid in building competence?
Tolulope Oguntayo made a straight answer saying “Avoid pressure as you go into the Global Relevance”
I agree with her and I believe with how things her in this world, we should avoid pressure.
Oladepo praise forwards her next question to Ekundayo Oluwadamilare.
Question: What are your definition of friendship and the effect of a relationship in building an impactful life?
Ekundayo Oluwadamilare answered by saying “Friendship is coming together of like minds that have the same alignment of work and doings”
He further stated by supporting Samuel on his point which says “you tend to lose your friends as you grow” but be rest assured that it’s a major thing of growth as the friends you lose do not align with your work and doings.
Oladepo praise directed her 3rd question to Oyediran Samuel.
Question: Impact of environment on Global Relevance.
Oyediran Samuel answered by saying “Environment matters and what you see matters. You need to see the bigger picture in any environment you find yourself.
Oladepo praise asked Stella Arowolo another question.
QUESTION: For Introverts, what advice do you have for them in developing global relevance?
Stella Arowolo said and I quote “Attract value to yourself because value attracts value.”
She further stated that value is never silent and there is always a platform for you to explore what you are doing for people to discover you even as an introvert.
With that, we came to the end of the panelist questions and answers segment, and the floor was opened for the participant to ask their questions.
Participants asked a lot of questions and they got their responses. Among the participant, we have Peter Adeleke’s question.
Question: How do you decide what to focus on as a multitalented person?
Ekundayo Oluwadamilare responded by saying “You need to build competence and strength first on a major thing then you pick one at a time to further develop yourself.”
Tolulope Oguntayo added saying “You can decide what to focus on by making use of the necessity and important analysis.”
With that, we came to the end of day one and I believe you agree with me you missed a lot if you were not part of us.
The program continues tomorrow, another chance to join our panelists and bring those questions you have about Global Relevance.
Same time, the same place. See you soon.
