At Enterprise Monkey, we believe in more than just driving digital transformation—we are committed to inspiring the next generation of leaders and fostering a future where opportunities are created, not waited for. This core belief was at the heart of the recent Study Melbourne Leadership Labs: Volunteer to Lead event, held on September 21st at The Gordon Gallery in Geelong, where our CEO, Aamir Qutub, delivered a keynote speech that struck a powerful chord with all attendees.
Overcoming the “No Job Without Experience” challenge
Aamir shared his personal journey of facing 300 job rejections upon arriving in Australia, a story that resonates with so many international students who struggle to find employment due to the "no job without experience" barrier. By recounting his challenges and eventual success, Aamir offered an inspiring message to students: perseverance, coupled with a mindset of giving back, is key to breaking through.
A Focus on Volunteering and Leadership
The Volunteer to Lead event wasn’t just about volunteering—it was about empowerment. Aamir's speech underscored a powerful truth: by volunteering, students aren’t just gaining experience—they are laying the foundation for their leadership journey. Volunteering creates opportunities to develop skills, build networks, and most importantly, to give back to the community that supports them.
Aamir’s takeaway from the event? The future of Australia is bright. Engaging with passionate young leaders who are eager to innovate and build strong communities affirmed that our role at Enterprise Monkey isn’t just to lead—it’s to empower others to lead. The right support, mentorship, and opportunities can unlock untapped potential, paving the way for future success stories.
