While speaking on leveraging diversity for self-sustaining success, the keynote speaker cited explicit measures and categories of success, highlighting that success isn’t only measured by the accumulation of wealth but also by the achievement of certain goals.

“Achievement of goals is what success is all about. For you to have sustainable success, you have to be resilient,” he said.

He further mentioned key steps to embrace in order to achieve sustainable success, including adopting a growth mindset and building strong relationships and networks.

While discussing this, he referenced Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying, “Against all odds, Asiwaju became President because of the strong network he has built over the years. So, I implore you to build strong relationships and networks as well as embrace diversity.”
