It is with great honor and pride we would like to introduce our newly elected Yennenga Progress President Agneta Jörbeck! We will do that by asking a few questions:
What in the Yennenga Progress structure and vision made you get involved?
Yennenga Progress is an innovative and progressive organization. It is stimulating to be able to follow and get involved in new projects in different parts of the world, particularly in Burkina Faso. Yennenga Progress ensures that innovative thinking becomes practical reality that generates development and jobs.
In Yennenga Progress, we believe it is important to have role models. Can you mention some important role models in your life?
My role model is Mother Theresa who talks about the loving leadership, to be warm and loving at the same time as demanding.
How would you like to be as a role model?
I want to be visible and enthusiastic. I believe that through modern technology, we can network and collaborate with each other anywhere in the world. We can visualize and lift each other, we can encourage and enthuse for development, we can empower and help build self-esteem.
What are your vision for Yennenga Progress – under your leadership;-)
I want Yennenga Progress to become an attractive organization where You as a member contribute to development, success and value, both for yourself and for others’. Yennenga Progress is for You as an individual but also for your company. The organization is based on what we create together through our global networking.
