"Vivez votre rêve sans sacrifier la performance" Conversation avec SEM Amadou Diongue

Let's dare to dream! This holiday season, we're meeting with some prominent figures to learn from them, their journeys, and life lessons. In this episode, we're interviewed by His Excellency Amadou Diongue, ECOWAS Resident Representative in Benin. "It's true that it's difficult to give you lessons. Because things have become more complicated, much more complicated for you, but at the same time, you also have many opportunities." Valedictorian of his graduating class at the National School of Administration and Magistracy in Dakar, and Secretary of the African Union Peace and Security Council from 2017 to 2021, he reflects on his career, from economics to diplomacy, including a background in history. "You have a natural inclination for productivity, efficiency, and performance. That wasn't the case for us. We lived with dreams." “ Amadou Diongue doesn’t indulge in easy nostalgia. He says: a dream isn’t a utopia. A dream is rooted in reality. And it is this dream that leads to achievement, to selflessness. To lead people is to guide them toward a dream.” A thought that challenges. A thought that compels. 🎙️ Listen to the first part of the episode here 👇
