#TheEngineRoom with Kafui Dey

<p>Top Ten Lessons from Kafui Dey - #KafuiQUOTES</p><ol><li><strong>My Hero.</strong> 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.</li><li><strong>Power of Words.</strong> 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.</li><li><strong>Education.</strong> 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.</li><li><strong>Research. </strong>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.</li><li><strong>Social Skills.</strong> 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.</li><li><strong>Cyber bullying.</strong> 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.</li><li><strong>#MyBeautifulGhana.</strong> Domestic tourism remains underutilized. Other countries are generating tourism income from Ghana’s cocoa and gold. We must add value to our tourist sites.</li><li><strong>Parenting.</strong> 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.</li><li><strong>Excellence and Creativity. </strong>These are the two biggest lessons of my professional life.</li><li><strong>Legacy. </strong>I am determined to leave every organization and everywhere I go far better than I met it.</li></ol>
