Q: We want Mastercard scholars to continue to learn and develop as individuals at the University of Edinburgh. How would this learning experience be transformative for you?
Answer:
As I strive to influence society, I find it challenging building effective relationships, expressing myself more articulately and managing people effectively. These are areas I hope to experience remarkable changes when offered this scholarship.
My expectations as a potential scholar regarding the learning experience are therefore high. I envisage that this would be an effective opportunity for me to develop and acquire valuable skills needed to drive development on my return home. I am especially keen on these areas; effective communication, professional networking, developing an open mind-set approach and challenging my leadership delivery abilities.
Participating in volunteering activities and work-based placements would be very apt in strengthening my communication skills. My proactive engagement with people of diverse backgrounds within these context is sure to provide feedbacks to help identify areas I would need to work more on.
Discussing issues amongst a rich blend of intellectuals from across Africa and the world; bothering on Africa and world development challenges, is sure to help in shaping a broader open mind-set and improve my team building skills.
Attending leadership retreats would be an avenue I'd leverage to practice my presentation skills by making presentations on topical issues affecting my home country. This skill would be highly needed when I engage with my community through the African Energy Advocacy Initiative.
To cap it all, achieving the prestigious Edinburgh Award in Transformative Leadership to prove my competency, would be the high point of my journey through Edinburgh. I greatly look forward to this.
