At the recently concluded #RedefiningCareer event, Biola Alabi, founder of Biola Alabi Media and former Managing Director of Mnet Africa announced that she would be launching her new leadership development project, ‘Grooming for Greatness’. As promised, here are the details below!
The year long programme, commencing with a 3-day on-boarding event, will bring leaders across sectors to share their experiences and expertise, and groom the next generation of African business leaders.
The 3-day workshop and seminar will also identify exceptional talents who will be mentored by Mrs. Alabi and her associates over the next year.
The workshop will deal with practical sessions to build the capacity of participants with access to relevant and outstanding role models and leadership tools, including recommended literature, through which they can widen their knowledge base whilst simultaneously drawing inspiration and ideas.

It’s important to give a new generation of African leaders the practical, applicable skills that can truly transform the continent,” Alabi, who is also a Yale fellow, said. We want to cultivate an intuitive African programme for young and aspiring professionals and entrepreneurs that recognizes the challenges and opportunities inherent in embracing personal greatness in this continent.”
