❝As Europeans, one thing we have […] is a feeling of fatalism, the feeling of things getting out of control, out of hand, of things just happening to us, whether it is globalisation, or climate change, or populism, or even the war, [...] Leadership has to concentrate on overcoming citizens’ helplessness in the face of fast-moving events.❞ This quote from Leszek Konrad Jażdżewski, Editor-in-Chief of Liberté! and 2022 EYL40 from Poland, reminds us of the importance of leadership in the face of the many problems currently facing European citizens.   ❓ Are you, or is someone you know, a leader ready to help Europe face these fast-moving challenges?

Humbled to announce my recognition as the One Young World (OYW) Ambassador of the month! 6 years ago, I was at a remote #Shell facility in Nigeria, in charge of managing the power network when someone forwarded me an email. The Netherlands’ Corporate Relations team were searching for 10 employees below 30 who had demonstrated leadership in #sustainability, #energy transition or #education to sponsor for the first OYW Summit hosted in the Hague. I learnt that #OYW was the largest global annual youth event outside the Olympics which identifies, connects, and coaches under 30 leaders from diverse sectors, amplifying their voices on a global platform. So, I applied, though feeling my chances were limited. But, I made it! I got the scholarship, and the summit was better than I imagined. Post summit, attendees are inducted as OYW ambassadors, a community with tens of thousands of young leaders, and described by Justin Trudeau as “An unparalleled network of leaders from every corner of the world”. During my application, I described my vision of a world where energy resources are fairly distributed and utilized efficiently with minimal environmental impact. That’s a vision I still hold on to today, which inspired the launch of the Sabi Lifestyle Challenge. The objective was to empower people to make informed energy choices, and I was pleased to have thousands register and get overwhelming positive feedback from the first iteration in January. 3 weeks ago, I was extremely delighted to be announced as the OYW ambassador of the month for the impact I’ve had, especially the SABI project. This recognition amongst thousands of other ambassadors who are equally making an impact was humbling. I thought long and hard on if and how to share this news, but I finally did, hopefully so my experience inspires others. On reflection, here are 3 lessons: 1. Find a vision that inspires, because sometimes only that vision will sustain you. As you execute your vision, remember that no human is an island, and leverage collaboration to create a shared vision. 2. Find ways to contribute in any group, community or place you find yourself. It doesn’t have to be big ways, but, play your part, and it will have a ripple effect. 3. You never know who is watching, but never do things because you expect someone watching. Let me know which of these reflections you resonate with in the comments. #goals #vision #sabilifestyle

🌍Rio hosts Youth 20 as Brazil reclaims global leadership Throughout 2024, Brazil is hosting a series of official events related to its rotating presidency of the Group of 20 (G20), the intergovernmental bloc comprising 19 sovereign nations, the European Union, and the African Union. The events will culminate in November with the Summit of Heads of State in Rio de Janeiro, where the big question mark is whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend. But before all that, youth leaders are set to take the stage. The Youth 20 (Y20), the G20’s Youth Engagement Group, convened in Rio between August 10 and 17 to “bring the aspirations of the youth to the center of the G20 debate.” This marks the first time Brazil has led the Y20 event, held annually since 2010 around International Youth Day on August 12. Over 200 international representatives and more than 2,000 attendees took part. 🔗Read more in our full article by Lucas Berti here 👇 https://lnkd.in/demgfUc8 #ClimateChange #G20 #Leadership
