EMY Africa Inspiring Greatness Forum: Youth urged to focus attention on making impact in life
Youth in Africa and beyond have been urged not to lose hope but to always strive hard and focus attention on making an impact in whatever they set out to achieve in order to overcome challenges in life to bring about change.
Lawyer cum Editor-in-chief of Emy Africa, Albert Chris Soboh who gave the advice observed that although the world has been reeling under tough challenges in recent times due to the emergence of the global pandemic backed by the Russia invasion of Ukraine war which has been a major blow to everyone especially the youth being the hardest hit, but this should not discourage them at all into losing hope but rather spur them on towards making a positive impact in life.
He made this known while speaking in an interview with journalists on the sidelines of the maiden edition of the Inspiring Greatness Forum (IGF) held last Friday September 2, 2022 at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
The forum, an initiative of Emy Africa is designed to among other things mentor young men between the ages of 16 to 21 years and to inspire the youth as well as position them for opportunities globally.
It brought together some selected youth (cohort) from diverse backgrounds across the country who were enlightened on various issues pertaining to youth development, career, social issues among others by a tall list of distinguished inspirational personalities who were tipped as speakers.
Some of these personalities include Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong, CEO of Special Investments and Chairman of EMY Africa Awards Board of Patrons, Dr Ellen Hagan, HR Consultant and Founder of Laine’s Services and Dr Daniel Mckorley, CEO, McDan Group of Companies and EMY Man of the Year 2021.
Others are Oheneyeri Gifty Anti, Mr Yoofi Grant, CEO, Ghana Investment Promotion Centre,
Samson Lardy Anyenini, lawyer and broadcast journalist, Ethel Adjorlolo Marfo, Founder and CEO Junior Shapers Africa, Kafui Dey, broadcaster and public speaking coach and Emmanuel Kojo Jones, CEO of Empire Domus Ltd.
