The CEO of Biola Alabi Media and
Founder, Grooming for Greatness has stated that while entrepreneurship is a
rewarding venture, it is not meant for everyone.
She made the submission at the
VivaWomen women quarterly event held at Insight Publicis Nigeria office in
Lagos.
While delivering a keynote
address on the topic: An Anywhere Leader - Lead with a Difference”, Mrs. Alabi
remarked that everyone can be leaders, regardless of their titles. Telling her
story, she spoke of how she grew from being a Content salesperson at Sesame
Street in America to leading the largest PayTv channel in Africa.
In her words: “when I took on the
position as MD of MNet, I had no clue what I was getting into. I literally had
to learn the hard way, to lead albeit with fear. Along the line, I came to the
realization that to be an anywhere leader, you are constantly going to be in a
flux and you need to transform and adjust to different circumstances”
Meanwhile, the VivaWomen Nigeria
Lead/Chief Operating Officer, Quadrant MSLGroup, Mrs. Tosin Adefeko while
speaking at the event reiterated that the VivaWomen initiative is to provide a
platform for women within the group to share their experiences, best practices,
mentoring and for networking.
VivaWomen is a Publicis Groupe
