Show Notes

The mind is such a beautiful thing that God has given us to solve life's challenges. I describe it as an immortal machine that has endless scenarios of application when its potential is harnessed adequately by activating its unimaginable possibilities. 

As powerful as the mind is, it can only respond to those stimuli that excite it to create. Creativity excites the mind, and those who have come to know this secret always dwell within the domain of the mind and engage it to develop innovative ideas and answers and solutions to life's questions and problems. 

Such individuals don't run away from the troubles; instead, they run towards them as if to say, I have found an opportunity for the mind to work, to be stretched, and come up with ways and perspective which seemingly was not seen even though it existed.

On this episode of the Word café, I am privileged to have someone I consider to have a mind of innovation. His name is Dr. Noel Akpata. 

Dr. Noel Akpata is a seasoned innovation strategy consultant, social innovator, impact investor, and Global Business speaker. After undergoing a massive career transition from Medicine and Surgery driven by purpose, passion, and a need for excellent performance, Dr. Noel Akpata, over the years, has developed a massive interest and harnessed necessary skills in the areas of strategy and execution, social innovation, human resource development, project management, social business sector development and national development making him highly sought after.
 
 He is a renowned knowledge expert/speaker at several global meetings, most especially the prestigious Horasis "World Economic Forum For Emerging Markets" events which brings together Chairmen/CEOs of some of the world's leading firms alongside global political leaders, an event described as the new 'DAVOS'.

 He currently serves as the Africa director for the Horasis World Economic Forum for the Emerging Markets and has created veritable platforms for economic and political integration.
 
 He chaired the Nigeria-China-Netherlands Forum at Horasis, which held its first session at the Global China Business Meeting, Hague, Netherlands, in November 2013.

 In 2015 he founded Nigeria's Electricity market Summit Group and became one of the select Africans to be invited to the Prestigious Ambrosetti Forum, which is named the number one Italian Private Think Tank and the fourth in Europe in the University of Pennsylvania's Global Go To Think Tank Index report.

 He founded and built a strategy for the National ICT Youth Empowerment Scheme in partnership with an arm of the Government-The National Information Technology Development Agency, which is currently being executed nationwide in the nation of Nigeria.

 He is a fellow of the Institute of Management Consultants/International Council of Consulting Institutes and a Certified Management Consultant of the International Council of Consulting Institutes.
