Fá from Perfect but so Amazing
I met Victor Fá for the first time about 5years ago.
FourthCanvas sponsored an event I organized in Akure, and he was to speak on the panel session. And from that day, we formed a bond that has grown into inspiring results in life and business.
I talk a lot here about how partnerships and friendships can inspire you to do amazing things, and this one right here is one for the books.
I will celebrate him today by sharing one of the elements guiding his life — empathy and openness.
He firmly believes that everybody should be treated equally and with value, and if you are on the team, a big part of that process is that everything is on the table for you to see. “If you are good enough to be on the table, you have a chance at anything on the menu, or at least, you are clear about what comes to you,” is an illustration that captures it for me.
From my experience, this is a powerful way to lead a pack of wolves (See Scott McCall in Teen Wolf).
I have observed two ways to engender loyalty based on things and institutions that I have seen around me, fear and conviction, and If I have the chance to choose, I will always go for the latter. And Fá has been able to drive it over the last few years.
It’s a great day, have a blast.
