SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES
We asked Ijeoma for Clues
Something that catalyzed your growth - besides working hard?
I allow myself to evolve. That's my approach to life. I don’t put myself in a box or let anything I accomplish define me. I am constantly evolving and saying Yes to God.
Something you're most proud of?
One of my proudest achievements is transitioning from a career in Finance to Development & Social Impact. While I enjoyed my role in Finance, my heart was drawn more towards developing people, especially women, and influencing public policy. Making the leap into a new industry was challenging, but looking back, it's been absolutely worthwhile.
On Showing Up
Be true to yourself.
Show up authentically and always do an audit of your life, checking if the path you are currently on will lead you to the life of your dreams.
Worth Remembering
Failure is not the end but a stepping stone to greatness.
