Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the Business & Networking Fest organized by Sycamore Church, Ibadan, and it was truly an eye-opening experience.
The panel session featured three exceptional industry leaders:
πΉ Mr. Friday Nwokolo β Acting MD/CEO, FCMB MFB Friday Nwokolo BA, MA, MCIB, M.CIoD
πΉ Miss Anuoluwa Okediran β CEO, The Beauty Cognoscente Anuoluwa Okediran
πΉ Mr. Nmi Adegbite β Founder/CEO, Cirvee Nimi Adegbite, FCIML
Each of them shared deep insights that reshaped how I see business, value creation, and personal growth.
Here are some powerful lessons I took away:
β¨ You have to be useful to be used β show up with value, solutions, and competence.
β¨ Influence matters β your network, your voice, and your reputation play a major role in growth.
β¨ Value drives pricing β people pay for clarity, expertise, and results.
β¨ Loss is sometimes part of business β not every season is profitable, but every season carries lessons.
One of the highlights for me was getting the opportunity to take a picture with Mr. Friday Nwokolo Friday Nwokolo BA, MA, MCIB, M.CIoDβ a moment of inspiration and gratitude.
A big thank you to Sycamore Church for organizing such a transformative event, and to all the speakers for pouring so much wisdom into us.
Iβm leaving this experience more intentional, more equipped, and more motivated to grow.
