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 realisation 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 Internal Women’s network within Troyka Holdings.
