Description

Terence is the Director of Organisational Effectiveness in technology for META (Facebook). Terence is a great example of a ‘squiggly career’. He was born in Sierra Leone after his mother had an 11-month pregnancy and describes himself as just a small boy from Freetown who left for the US at the age of 9 and realised he had a great opportunity. That opportunity allowed him to attend Albert Einstein High School and later Brown University (Ivy League). Terence fondly remembers his time at Brown University where he studied the third world transition programme to learn about the history, heritage and purpose of Brown University. He learned tolerance at Brown as their ethos that everyone has the right to be themselves and each should celebrate the differences. As a young black male, he found himself working on Wall Street and experiencing racial injustice and having to balance being authentic with the ability to switch his behaviour to fit in and ‘code switch’ to ensure the comfort of others.Terence has learned to balance the privilege he experiences with the injustice that surrounds him and yet still focus on the comfort of others and not be defined by the way others act towards him. Terence is totally in control of how he sees himself and his value internally. The Sum of the Parts is an inspiring episode especially poignant for young leaders. Stay open minded, allow opportunities to identify themselves to you and be open to the challenge as tomorrow is not guaranteed or promised. Touch, change and empower people. In summary:1.     Leadership is collective sport. You don’t have to be the hero leader in the current ever-changing environment. 2.     Create cultures and environments that unleash the talents of others. 3.     If you don’t make sure your personal life is excelling and intact, all your business aspirations and dreams will simply not be worth it. Here is a link to a Vigro Deep sampler https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/vigro-deep-sampler/pl.u-2aoqX6aHGDYqdKAAnd here is a link to an Amapiano Samplerhttps://music.apple.com/us/playlist/amapiano-sampler/pl.u-kv9lbVLsJAGebgl
