Dr. Dayo Olomu, fondly called DDO by friends and peers, lives his life for humanity.
As a distinguished speaker, human resources professional, author and social entrepreneur, he leaves a lasting impression on anyone who encounters him wherever he goes.
The celebrity status he enjoys today was not served him a la carte. He has put in a great deal of effort to remain relevant in the constantly changing and dynamic corporate world, and he never fails to regale his listeners with his inspiring tales at any given opportunity.
Interestingly, whenever he lays bare his grass-to-grace story during his public engagements, it is purposely to enable them to pick some nuggets about how to weather the storms of life.
On Wednesday, June 25, Olomu, who has been recognised and honoured with over 180 awards globally, turned 60, amidst pomp and circumstance. One of the highlights of the diamond celebrations was the public presentation of his long-awaited memoir titled “My 60 Life Lessons for Success and Significance.”
The memoir, knitted in 60 crisp and engaging chapters, essentially combines personal storytelling with practical lessons on goal setting to self-discovery, and offers useful tips on navigating adversity to living with intention.
The birthday celebrations were held in three European countries, beginning in the morning with prayers and lighting 60 candles at Notre-Dame Cathedral, where he unveiled his memoir, in Paris, France.
Hours after, he was celebrated in Brussels, Belgium, with an indulgent Belgian lunch at The Dominican Hotel- he reportedly wandered in the gilded Grand Place, and treated himself to world-famous chocolates at Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert. The birthday shindig peaked when Olomu dined on exquisite Dutch cuisine at De Silveren Spiegel in Amsterdam.
What a magical 60th birthday celebration!
Those who were not physically present didn’t miss out so much on the fun-filled event, as Olomu shared the cherished moments via Facebook Live from his breathtaking hotel, a converted 15th-century chapel.
