Abiola's daughter Impresses Panel on Reality TV Show, Dragon’s Den UK | Watch Video of her Presentation
Making a successful presentation can sometimes be difficult task. Getting your composure right, connecting with your audience, creating a good first impression and very importantly, having the confidence to carry your presentation through requires some amount of practice. And so, when we see someone who has done that successfully with good reports from the panel, it is something worth celebrating.
Dupsy Abiola was a contestant on Dragon’s Den UK, a
reality TV programme featuring entrepreneurs pitching their business
ideas in order to secure investment finance from a panel of venture
capitalists. She attended Hampstead High School, London, before
graduating from the University of Oxford. She later went on to attend
the Inns of Court School of Law.
Dupsy’s inspired story started when she
worked as a lawyer in the city of London. The 30-year-old was tasked
with recruiting new staff, when she quickly realised the difficulty in
shortlisting suitable candidates by simply looking at the CVs available
to her. Not to be defeated, she researched websites and companies that
matched graduates to jobs and found that there were none. She found a
gap in the recruitment market. This gap led to the birth of her
recruitment website InternAvenue.com.
She later mustered the courage to leave her secure employment to pursue
her ambition of this website and later found herself in the Dragon’s
Den (UK).
During her presentation, she maintained
eye contact with members of the panel, spoke confidently, had a smile
for them and got quite emotional when it was time to talk about her
father, late Chief M.K.O Abiola. At the end, they all had good reports
about her.
