Words that Ignite, Voices that Empower: Introducing Ajichei Chazyloyang

They say words have power, but I believe in the power of the speaker. That's what drives me, not just as a certified public speaker at the Texas Institute of Public Speaking (TIPS), but as a passionate advocate for youth empowerment. For the past two years, I've woven words into tapestries of inspiration, sharing quotes that ignite and stories that spark change.

My journey began with a simple question: How can I use my voice to make a difference? The answer led me to the world of youth development, where I discovered a profound need – the need to equip young minds with the tools they need to navigate life's complexities.

Over countless presentations, I've witnessed the transformative power of words. From helping teens make informed life choices to guiding young adults on their career paths, I've seen the spark of potential ignite in their eyes. It's a privilege to witness their confidence soar, their voices rise, and their dreams take flight.

My expertise doesn't just lie in words, but in understanding the unique challenges and aspirations of youth. I tailor my presentations to resonate with their realities, injecting humor, real-life examples, and interactive elements to keep them engaged. Whether it's facing the anxieties of exams or navigating the ever-changing job market, I empower them with practical strategies and a growth mindset.

Beyond the stage, I am a firm believer in mentorship. I connect with young individuals on a personal level, offering guidance and support as they navigate their journeys. Their successes become my triumphs, and their struggles fuel my passion to do more.

I am not just a motivational speaker; I am a partner, a cheerleader, and a catalyst for change. When you invite me to speak, you're not just getting a presentation; you're investing in the future – a future where young voices are heard, dreams are pursued, and possibilities are limitless.

So, are you ready to ignite the power within your youth? Let's spark a conversation, ignite a passion, and empower the next generation to write their own stories.

Together, let's make their voices heard!

Je suis le co-fondateur de Goood.

Nous aidons les dirigeants qui ont des projets de logiciel maison, développés par des équipes maison, à mieux dormir en chassant les cauchemars logiciels que sont, par exemple : 
- Les difficultés d’alignement inter-équipes ou inter-directions
- Une gestion de portefeuille et priorisation obscures
- Un manque de maturité managériale des leads tech
- Une dette technique exorbitante qu'on ne sait plus résorber
- Des problèmes de qualité, fiabilité et rapidité des livraisons
- La dépendance critique à quelques collaborateurs indispensables
- Une agilité en panne (on voit ce que ça coûte, on ne voit pas bien les bénéfices)
- Des effets ciseau run/build en période de changement rapide (construire et maintenir simultanément)

Perso, j'ai commencé mon parcours agile en 2001 avec la découverte de TDD puis XP. Entre 2006 et 2008 j'ai élargi mes perspectives avec le Lean Software Development et Scrum.

Parallèlement, en 2004, j'ai co-fondé ma boutique de conseil avec 2 collègues. Aujourd'hui nous sommes 30 consultants-coachs-formateurs basés à Paris, Lyon et Nice.

Je travaille principalement avec des dirigeants pour les aider à bien maîtriser l'agilité et ses modèles mentaux, afin de l'intégrer dans le management et pour qu'ils aient la posture et le sponsorship appropriés aux changements à l'œuvre dans leur entreprise.

Arturo has had dual, sometimes competing, sometimes collaborating, passions in both music and technology since he was 10. After pursuing, and receiving, a Bachelors, Masters, and finally an Artist Diploma in Cello Performance from Oberlin Conservatory and the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music, and after then briefly performing as principal cellist of the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra in Shenzhen, PRC, Arturo's career took him in a completely different direction.

Currently, Arturo is tech lead for Fifth Third Bank in the areas of Software Security and Risk Mitigation, where he gets to cooperate with great people, solving interesting puzzles that make the online banking experience safer for all of Fifth Third's customers. While he still pursues music, off the clock Arturo works on crafting his own smart home system, building components from scratch, and working out how to get them to talk to one another. He spends equal amounts of time tending to his home lab, a sort of "digital garden".
