What is the best part of your job?
The best part of my job is having an opportunity to inspire and to have an impact on the lives of millions of people through the work that I produce; especially when it comes to the historical documentaries and TV shows. I believe it is very that the new generation understands their history, as I believe we can not go forward without understanding the past. Therefore, a large part of my work to date has been to counter any historical falsification by the current Iranian regime and to mitigate the obscuring effects of time.
What is the best part of your job?
The best part of my job is being able to facilitate change in people's hearts and minds and breaking down barriers between people so that the collective power of a diverse group can be realised. This happens on many levels. Clinically, I see clients who range from those with severe mental and physical illness to senior executives trying to strive under uncertainty and complexity. On a group level, I offer process consultation and education and training to about a thousand healthcare professionals to enable them to be more resilient and more confident in joining up mental and physical healthcare. On a systemic level, I also work to change structures, processes and organisational culture.
What is the best part of your job?
The best part of my job is that it is really not as much of a job as it is an extension of me. I get to create what I want, talk about what I want and express myself in a medium which I love. It also challenges me and allows me to grow and develop each day.
Carolann is an emblem of kindness to me because even though she is really, really busy she creates time to listen to me and to guide me. She has given me key advice that has positively shaped my career so far. On an occasion, I spoke with her about an issue I was experiencing and she set me up for a session with an expert life coach who helped me tremendously in that area.
2) My Grandfather Isaac Adeleke because I miss him so much and I often wonder what he would think of the life I am living right now. He passed away when I was quite young but I still remember how he always encouraged me to push myself academically, he would look at me and tell me that I could achieve anything.
