Cheick-Oumar Konaré
Montreal,Canada
Summary
During the summer of 2022, I deliberately chose to step out of my comfort zone, deciding to overcome my inherent shyness by immersing myself in the world of sales. In just one year, I learned to approach strangers, accepting that 'no' would often be the answer, but discovering above all that beyond fear lies an unexplored world.
This experience inspired me to fully dedicate myself to becoming an expert in communication to complement my analytical mind. As I progress, I discover extraordinary facets of my personality every day that I never even suspected. Without delving too deeply into my qualities, I am convinced that we all have the power to create the reality we desire.
My greatest fear would be not to have had faith in myself when I had the opportunity. My professional journey is not simply a succession of jobs; it is an ongoing journey of self-discovery. I am open to opportunities that will allow me to develop my analytical and interpersonal skills to reach undiscovered heights.
