Inspired by Iggy
By very popular demand Brett Sievwright (Platinum
Credit), very kindly returned to give our students another inspirational talk
on 22nd April. Brett brought
with him his right hand man and Financial Director, Ignatius O’Bara – or Iggy
to his friends and colleagues.
Both Brett and Iggy spoke. Brett talked to the students about the ‘VUKA
Revolution’ which, in brief, captures the principal pillars for development and
success, which we think are worth listing:
Discipline Honesty Hard work
Consistency Persistence Excellence
Planning Consequences Relationships
Ignatius spoke to the students of his own life
experiences and challenges. Iggy was
brought up in Kibera with his family and was 1 of 23 children! Life was very
difficult and he grew up surrounded by bad influences, gang mentalities and the
effects of drugs. Many of his friends have fallen but Iggy had decided himself,
without the help that is now available, to adopt the principles of VUKA. Had
Iggy accepted his father’s advice he may have been an ‘askari’. Iggy’s decision to walk to the library every
day, work hard and never give up is an inspiration to us all.
