I wrote about Tokunbo in an earlier blog post click here to read: http://www.jackeeholder.com/coaching/mentor-inner-views-part-3-2/

and he just keeps going from strength to strength.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He’s now heading up the O2ThinkBiG http://www.o2thinkbig.co.uk

Check out their website as they are doing some really cool stuff.

Albeit one cannot tie him down now for the busyness you can see how all the years experience is now being utilized in so many different ways in his new role.

Nothing we do is ever wasted. He spent years in terms of time and energy building the Origin’s Young Men’s project in South London with the dynamic Pablo Reid and then moved on to head up as Editor in Chief Catch 22 Magazine.

Tokunbo has worked hard to get to where he is and it has not been without its struggles and challenges. I have witnessed his resilience grow and develop and watched him grow and get comfortable and confident in his own original style and uniqueness as a leader..

I met Tokunbo when he was aged 17 when I was heading up the BBC Mentor Scheme and I saw his potential then ( he was bursting with enthusiasm, had a way of articulating the truth with empathy and compassion and within an instant I knew we had to recruit him to the project) and I am witnessing the awesomeness of his potential manifested abundantly now. He is now mentoring and inspiring young people to Think Big… The circle continues….

The seed of his potential has grown into a mature tree with many more branches still waiting to stretch and bring forth even more…..

Enjoy his inaugural TED talk on the power of potential. Need I say any more?

Tok’s as he is known to his close friends is a natural born leader.
