How to Leave Your Mark On The World

This Podcast is a tribute to Simon Smiles, a former impact investment pioneer at UBS. He is a young global leader, a father, and a husband who the community of Young Global leaders got to know through his presence, kindness, influence and advancement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. 

Lady Mariéme invited Elaine Smith-Genser to share a tribute about Simon and tell us about her new family, love and stepmotherhood. Elaine is Brazilian born working for the United Nations Joint Sustainable Development Goals 2030. Both leaders are passionate about advancing the Sustainable Development Goals. They care about the community and express their condolences to Simon’s Family. Simon was a great person that supported iamtheCODE in its infancy. He was genuinely kind and cared about our community. We are very sorry for this passing. LifeHack lesson: This week’s learning is: follow your intuition, your gut feeling. As you grow, you must listen to your body and mind.

Our Season Six continues “Decoding the UN Sustainable Development Goals”. We welcomed our phenomenal guest, Dr Ibilola Amao, a Nigerian Engineer principal consultant of Lonadek Services. When her late father – a trained civil engineer – discovered she loved science and math, he encouraged her to pursue studies in this area. She feels we need to increase the quality of the new graduates in Africa. She spoke to Lady Mariéme about her journey and her love of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) and gave some great advice on how to master your skills and leave a legacy. Dr Amao believes we must aspire to be excellent citizens and never give ourselves excuses. She also called for Africans to collaborate, reach out and work hard. Lady Mariéme appreciates her and thinks she is a wise woman and an asset to our continent. She wishes African leaders listened more to women in Technology like Dr Ibilola Amao. Make sure you follow her on social media.

Welcome to the iamtheCODE Season 6 podcast. 

We are super excited and honoured to announce the launch of our new Season six podcast series, an intentionally themed global weekly podcast that explores the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. A collection of 17 global goals will be decoded by world leaders and young people worldwide. The SDGs were designed for countries, but they are useful for businesses as frameworks when developing their own sustainability targets. 

In this Episode, Lady Mariéme Jamme welcomes Sanda Ojiambo, CEO and Executive Director of the United Nations Global Compact, to discuss mobilizing Businesses to embed the SDGs in their strategies. Sanda took the role during the Pandemic and shared how honoured she is to lead this fantastic organization. She emphasizes the importance of private partnerships in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s). The UN Global Compact agency is a voluntary initiative based on C.E.O commitments to implement ten universal sustainability principles and to take steps to support UN goals. It was launched in July 2000 during the late Kofi Annan’s regime as U.N Secretary-General. Sanda will be inaugurated at the virtual U.N Global Compact Leaders’ Summit.
