THE EYCLF EXPERIENCE - JUNE EDITION
What is formed when experience, knowledge, and value meet curiosity, eagerness to learn, and growth mindset?
It creates a leader not just an employee. It sparks a fire that lights every room you walk into.
The Emerging Young Corporate Leaders Fellowship (EYCLF) hosted its June Masterclass in-person at University of Ghana Graduate Business School. And it was gold.

Speaker Insights & Reflections
Eric Boateng Siaw challenged us to assess our values, strengths, and weaknesses before entering the workspace. Even if the environment is tough, give your best, build your network, and remain valuable. During NSS, offer help, seek feedback, and never stop growing even when no one’s watching.
Kweku Osei-Sarfo reminded us that a degree opens the door, but attitude keeps you inside the room. Speak up in meetings, sell your value, understand workplace culture, and protect your health intentionally.
Joshua Mensah gave us five powerful success buckets: knowledge, skills, network, resources, and reputation. He said, “Opportunities run through people, be kind to them.”
PS: Your journey is yours. Don’t hand the steering wheel to anyone else.
