Bookanin-painting and terra’s CEOs Friday, a brightly-looking artist and traditional places in Lagos.
In the interview with the Prommium, Austan-and shares on his awesome side, the importance of women’s leadership, is its vision to encourage the next generation.

PT: Can you tell us about your art and how you used to be?

Mrs. Ausun-Peter: The artifact trip has been to know. I started as a lawyer, and do various jobs, plus the United Nations.

Like most, I have not started a visible vision for what I want to do. Often, we are led by our forefathers, tasks, or activities. Only a few knows their way from the beginning.

When I spent a lot of years in a valid place, I became hopeless. My job was meaningful, I noticed that the fulfillment of me was not only about material things – it was about the joy and desire. I wanted to wake up every day joyfully with what I would do, not just running money.

This desire led me to make a land where I could do well with music, books, and art.

The vision became valued, the place where various skills arise, where clear conversations are speaking, and Nigeriians can be discussed and stabbed.

PT: In your opinion, female leaders encourage and give them the strength of encouragement, especially other women?

Mrs. Ausun-Peter: Women’s leaders promote and empower other power by directing the work, the strength, and great goal.

To me, leadership is not just reason to do better – and make advantage of others, especially women, to get up. When a woman see some women breaking the barriers, it prompted the idea that they too may be, can be big.

In companies who are ordered the majority, I have made that women not manifest an imaginary subject as a form of film, performance, or business. I believe in showing, just don’t tell.

By pushing the limit and success in my job, I hope to encourage women to be brave, take care of their choice.

The opportunity to take place due to sharing knowledge and make the gaps. That’s why wea is very important.
When a woman is given tools to succeed, she does not make only their own self.

PT: What do you think about women in leadership compared to men?

Mrs. Ausun-Peter: Women bring something special to leadership – our ability to lead and sorrow.

I have found women like leadership to the leadership in the form of an area of ​​combinations. We listen, talent talent, and make a place where people feel lucky.

This does not mean that we don’t persist or be careful, but we often have a lot of wisdom, which we can make a big problem where Tsuums work, and businesses grow.

I think women, especially, understanding the importance of zealous organizations, whether in business, art, art, or even in our homes.

We are natural disadvantages, and we bring them the same feelings in Board, film, theater – for everything we do.

PT: What challenges did you face like your woman, and how did you handle them?

Mrs. Ausun-Peter: Nigeria, as many areas of the world, also authorized men when leadership and making decisions.

People often think that as a woman, don’t have a Grit, business business, or courage to make something fixed.

When I started Terra Friday, many doubt that they are driving beneficial conditions and art in Nigeria, it was possible.

The idea of ​​making economic studs looks impossible to others, but I refused to let their doubts explain me. I just looked at my vision, I was working hard, I would make sure my work spoke.

When I decided to make industry, many asks if I have experienced experiences or ability to win in difficulties like that.

But I was determined to tell our talks on a large scale, and I knew that if I would like to see, I must make myself. I have to say, yet, in Nigeria, women are going. Most of the production of female produces, and a higher five-party facilitators!

I have solved these challenges by not tireless. I refused to fear, and I learned that as a woman, you should ask your place in the table.
You have to be strong, with sure, and willing to push back when necessary. I was stuck with people who love many people, men and women, who believe my vision.

Most importantly, I didn’t allow men able to interpret my own ability. I just watched success, punishing, and consequences. And finally, success is the best response to doubt.

Nowadays, I can say that Terra of Terra and Coops that have changed the way to many others, proving that women can lead to film, performances, and production companies.

PT: Can you share with one of the most effective times of your job that sets up your leadership interest?

Mrs. Ausun-Peter: One of the most productive times my job that set up my leadership for my leadership and brought Fela and the Kaptacy of Kalita lives. It was not just a makeup; Became a group.

Great response – indicates, attractive, and viewers of the audience – was amazing. Taking down Fela go to Nigeria, doing in South Africa and Dubai, and give evidence of the fact that the article separated you from Africa faith.

It was also from the food of the family of my beliefs to make up the feature of the Phumilia Ransome-to.

Responsible dose, knowing that they believed to do justice for such an inheritance, was a translator. It proved that it was a vision, courage, as well as good leadership, whatever is possible.

PT: What kind of advice do you recommend for young women Nigeria want to be leaders?

Mrs. Ausun-Peter: My advice of Nigeria wants to be leaderships are easy, to be fearless, disciplined, and be perfect.

This road is not always better, but the challenges are part of this trip. You must believe in yourself even if others don’t, and you should be willing to work hard than anyone else in the room.

Instructed with the key. Many people have talent, but who separate the true leaders and unchangeable. To control the time, to smell evoke, and a powerful job separates you.

There will be distractions, terrorist problems, and times suspicious, but if you look your vision, you will find your way.

Most importantly, don’t wait for permission to take a place. As females, sometimes we are expected to defer yourself, not to be small, playing. But the leaders need courage. Speak, take the dangers, I believe in yourself.

PT: How do you fulfill the needs of CEO and other aspects of your life?

Mrs. Ausun-Peter: To reduce the needs of being CEO and my life is about the mind and punishment. I hope the time is our most important source, and how we choose the use of use makes any difference.

There are many hours in one day, and I can destroy them without doing anything, or I can drive them. To me, it’s been almost every moment.

I feel guilty because I know the winning one’s not out of a fitting mind – it comes from actions. As soon as I make my day carefully, putting the most important things.

I also have the time of my girlfriend. People sometimes sleep in many hours or spend hours on disturbances, but I try to maintain a goal.

This means, I realize the importance of the limit. Although it is necessary to be moved and discarded, you don’t want to burn. You have to have time to renovate, to rest, and to rest.

I’ve learned that I’m back for a while it will make you more meaningful. Whether I’m enjoying music, reading, or just having dear, resting that time is important as a few jobs.

PT: The title of this year for the day of the worldwide Women’s Day and “helps.” What does this title mean to you and how does it show how your leadership is?

Mrs. Ausun-Peter: “Help the action” with the subject that begins with me because I believe that words are cheap, which causes important things. In each section of my work, whether the Law, theater, video, or education, I’m driven by the importance of doing. The attitude is good, but don’t do something, they still live.

To me, it’s about taking the brave steps, pushing boundaries, and making things happen, even when the inconveniences be covered.

Consider, for example, for a reason to defend yourself to enhance your teenager? It was not enough to say, “We want more teens in the production companies” – it was necessary to take action to achieve.

Like women, we will not be able to wait for a good moment or permission. If we want to change, we have to be drivers. “Helps to take action” and be called to stop contact and start doing. It means you don’t be afraid to do the danger, make mistakes, and continue to move forward.

These questions were treated according to females, business, and public service (Wimbz), a non-rebellious agency, the leadership of the Asustent.
