The event began with a speech by James
Adeleke, founder and CEO of Generation Success. Within this
speech, James spoke of how Generation Success was movements
dedicated towards aiding today's generation achieve their career
aspirations. He relentlessly reminded the audience that Generation
Success is here to help and make a difference to the professional
lives of individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
Generation Success is truly honored to have had Catherine
Isichel, Jack Parsons, Anastasia Petrova, Tom Leoffert and Naheed Afzal each take to the stand to reveal
their personal stories including the highs and lows of their
careers, but also their experiences overcoming stigmatization
within their careers. Naheed Afzal,
Co-Founder and Director, Contracts IT Recruitment Consulting
recalled one particularly startling event whereby she introduced
three of her developers to a client she was working with. The
client however failed to appreciate the skills and abilities of the
developers because "they had a bit of a funny accent." This
shocking and disappointing occurrence spurred Naheed to ensure that
diversity and inclusion was an area that she ceaselessly worked to
champion. The audience, unmistakably inspired and motivated were
seen passionately writing down the different advice that was given
by the speakers. The audience was endlessly reminded to never give
up on their dreams and fight all battles to achieve their career
aspirations.
Following the speeches, everyone was encouraged to mingle and
take a selfie with another audience member. This activity reminded
all our attendees that they are not alone, but rather are
surrounded by fellow peers or mentors who want to help them
succeed.
One truly inspired individual, who originated from a minority
background, approached Generation Success after the event and was
very open in revealing his constant rejections following the
completion of his degree in software engineering. She commented on
feeling that she was "not good enough." However, after listening to
the speakers and understanding that each and every one of them
endured difficult and trying times before succeeding in their goal,
she was determined to never give up and relentlessly fight for his
dream.
Generation Success would like to thank all the speakers and
attendees who attended "GS Power Series: London Technology Week
Special."
