Dr. Kimemia, the CEO of Optiva Capital Partners, delivered an inspiring address on ‘Positioning for More’ in one’s career. She emphasized the importance of self-worth, motivation, and service in achieving career success. “You must have self-worth and believe in yourselves. You must believe in your ability to excel and get to the destination that you have set for yourselves,” she urged the attendees.
