MEET
THE FOUNDER
Founder of The Albert Conversations. An interesting salesperson and a very curious lady hehehe. I’ve spent my entire life doing things a little bit differently than what's expected. I guess you have too, haven’t you? #Winks. My brief story about TAC began many years ago during a conversation I had with my dear dad while he was sick & admitted to a hospital. After several questions, he believed in it and gave his blessings but sadly he didn’t walk out of the hospital. Being the first person, I shared the idea with and him not seeing TAC blossom, I named it after him "ALBERT". As a first child, I have my siblings looking up to me hence I wanted a platform for them to enhance their entrepreneurial skills. The idea burnt more after my parents’ passing. TAC came to fruition after my resignation as a presenter from one of the top radio stations in Abuja, Nigeria; my loved ones worried for me but I had a dream bigger than my favorite big hairstyle and I needed time, my mind to prepare for TAC hence the decision. Bagged with some money in my bank account, an idea that was burning in my heart, my desire to enhance the entrepreneurial skills of my siblings and myself, my faith, and my sales skills, TAC came to life.
Was I worried?
Oh yes!! Not only was I worried, I also had sleepless nights and the
fear of the unknown came swooshing in like an army of fun-killing dream squashers. Oh, did they
bump me hard but I prayed like I had never done before, shut my mind to naysayers, did a lot of
research, trips, and reached out to someone I respect for more clarity then I raised more money
and conducted the first edition. (There’s more to this story)
I made mistakes here and there but I was thankful and guess what, I didn’t have a team. In
attendance were 169 people out of the 700 people I planned for or should I say the hall permitted.
I remember crying all through the event due to one thing or another but in all, I was grateful
that my siblings were seated in the hall.
Looking back, I am stronger, bolder and happier. So far,
TAC has not only sharpened i and siblings enteprenuerial
skills, it has done the same to thousands of
entreprenuers. I am still in awe. To think we are just
brushing the surface. What gladden my heart are the
success stories we receive from time to time from some
attendees that started one business or another or gained
clarity to achieve a business or financial goal.
Permit
me to leave you with three of my favorite quotes.
• There is always a way.
• Our Words are powerful.
• I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who
has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has
intended us to forgo their use. Galileo Galilei (1564 -
1642).
