Wherever you’re from and whatever your profession is, this book will leave you encouraged, inspired, and equipped for greater personal and professional success." El emigrante" ( The migrant) is a flash fiction story by Mexican writer Luis Felipe Lomelí, published in 2005. Odenigbo’s narration style is pleasant and captivating and his voice is low and soothing. The audiobook is also delightful to listen to. He effortlessly weaves together the wisdom of ancient proverbs from his home country of Nigeria, true historical examples, and personal and professional lived experience to present his seven principles for immigrant success in the corporate workforce, and to offer guidance for how to successfully transition from working in a collectivist culture to an individualist one. He captures the attention of his readers with his expert and vivid storytelling, and then applies those stories to real-world scenarios in the form of simple, clear-cut advice. Odenigbo’s writing style is straightforward and engaging. Though this book was written for the target audience of the African immigrant in a corporate business setting, it is full of insights that will benefit readers of any demographic and profession in an individualist society. Honest, vulnerable, inspiring, accessible, and enlightening.
