Top Ten Lessons from Kafui Dey - #KafuiQUOTES

1. My Hero. My hero in broadcasting has always been Larry King. I love the way he always asked simple but probing questions that drew so much from his interviewees.
2. Power of Words. My father gave us a daily challenge to form 10 words, their meanings, phonetic transcriptions and use them in sentences. I have ‘remixed’ this with my three sons.
3. Education. We should make our education more practical, more project-based and less of copy copy. We should co-create interesting and exciting programmes with students.
4. Research. Take time to understand everything about who or what you are understudying; how they dress, talk, walk, their demeanour and interests. In real life, copying is allowed.
5. Social Skills. Treat all people with respect and show a genuine interest in them, no matter who they are. Everyone has a story and many want an opportunity to share a bit of it.
6. Cyber bullying. People can create fake news to tarnish your hard-earned reputation just to get clicks and generate revenue at your expense. It can be a very painful experience.
7. #MyBeautifulGhana. Domestic tourism remains underutilized. Other countries are generating tourism income from Ghana’s cocoa and gold. We must add value to our tourist sites.
8. Parenting. I go for a walk with each of my sons on the day of their birth - one on Mondays, one on Wednesdays and one on Fridays. We have our children for just a short while and we must take advantage of the now.
9. Excellence and Creativity. These are the two biggest lessons of my professional life.
10. Legacy. I am determined to leave every organization and everywhere I go far better than I met it.
