Experience First... Then Form An Opinion

Omowunmi Akingbohungbe at WIMBIZ Press Conference Towards 23rd WIMBIZ Annual Conference

My WhatsApp status has been buzzing with excitement for the upcoming WIMBIZ Annual Conference, and an old school friend slid into my DMs.

She said, "Madam WIMBIZ, give us a break! I just want to say that I’m not a fan of these conferences; everyone gathers, makes a lot of noise, and then goes back to their corners. I have never bothered to attend"

I took a moment to reflect on her words. I realized she might not be the only one with these thoughts.

The reality is that life is a collection of gatherings from various backgrounds.

While our origins may differ, we all have access to opportunities in the form of exposure, education, ideas, and connections. Making the most of these opportunities often hinges on our willingness to take action and sometimes to invest in them.

Participating in an event like the WIMBIZ Annual Conference can be a game-changer 😊.

It’s a chance to elevate your aspirations, connect with women from diverse fields, and tap into resources and inspiration that can shift your mindset.

When I finally replied to my friend, she decided to register, with me assuring her that if it didn’t meet her expectations, I’d refund her.

It’s always better to experience something firsthand and form your own perspective rather than rely on assumptions or other people opinions. The best way to shape the future is to take initiative, engage, and seize the opportunities that come your way. Let Maya Angelou’s words inspire you: "Nothing will work unless you do."

If you have signed up, don't forget to share this with a friend who's still on the fence.
