Kayode Alabi Leadership and Career Initiative (KLCI)

Partnership is key to ensuring sustainable development and doing more with less.  Today we took a step forward in our mentorship program and we worked with Kehinde Oloriade Mentorship Academy to mentor students of the Baptist Academy, Obanikoro, Lagos.  After the general sessions on Leadership and Career Development. We had a group mentoring session with the kids based on their area of interest and Strength.  The groups were;  ICT and Tech Health and Medicine Business and Entrepreneurship Creative and Engineering.  Each group had at least a mentor to offer Guidance and Counselling.  It was indeed a great one. We were able to promote collaboration between the students and help them have a goal in mind.  We look forward to future partnership.  Thank you Kehinde Oloriade Mentorship Academy (KOMA) for the opportunity.

In our last class Career Planning 103, we took our participants through on how to create a Personal Mission Statement and part of the requirements is to enter a personal mission statement challenge.  We had four entries for the challenge and we are pleased to announce the winner.  Congratulations Barakat Adepeju for winning the Personal Mission Statement Challenge.  Here is her mission statement;  "To see a corrupt free Nigeria and a situation where vices are reduced to its minimal through counseling and mentoring young leaders." (Adepeju Barakat) At KLCA, we are committed to building and liberating young leaders in the society.  KLCA liberating the leader in you.

One of our facilitator "Kayode Alabi" had a questioning and answering sessions with Kings College Boys Lagos, and we will share two of the questions and his responses to them.   A boy asked, I think I am good at many things and have many dreams, how do I choose the one I can do best and focus?  Response: After this session, get a pen and a paper. Write down your dream list, all the thing you want to achieve inclusive those things you are good at.  Write anything you can imagine. Then  now classify the list into group A, B, C.  A should contain the most important  dreams; B should contain second most important while C should be the least important.  After doing this, now go back to the A group and arrange your most important dream in order of priority…1, 2, 3… The dream that come first in the A group is your purpose and that’s what you have to give your all and ensure you achieve it, because it will lead to the achievement of others.
