Top answers from some of our sessions.

Diversity is good if properly managed. Everyone brings unique qualities to the table...but we need to ensure collaboration and shared vision for diversity to be effective

This does not apply to everyone. People react to things differently .

Yes, this is a image recognition process that has been done in multiple ways before. I would suggest looking up relevant literature for inspiration and browsing around competition sites like Kaggle or Zindi to get access to datasets!The coolest project I have worked on probably was something I did with a startup to recognize different hairtypes and hairstyles!

I would rather see it from a point of collaboration as against company versus workers.A company is as good as its people, HR helps the company to shape policies and procedures while also coming up with initiatives to drive employee engagement in line with the vision of the company.When employees are engaged, productivity is higher.

Hi Opeyemi, I'd recommend Wild Fusions; I think they are the best digital agency in Nigeria and have a good balance of expertise and creativity. Anakle is a close second, definitely with a more creative and daring element, but both great places to gain experience and work with some really bright minds. Sure thing! I'm @ToyinJolapamo on Twitter and Instagram. LinkedIn is my name.

Thanks for your kind words and for this question Joshua.This is an area I'm passionate about and I've been opportune to coach young adults on this, talking about one's lifework and career development. Concerning being multi-passionate, you're right, all passions may not be unveiled at a time, one could lead to another. However, the principal anchor in this regard is to discover an overriding purpose that all passions hinge on. For example, I am passionate about human development, youth development and life skills. All of these passions and expressions are contained within my purpose of raising young people and moulding minds. Imagine not been clear on what to use the passions for or even my gifts and abilities, it would be like disarray, doing many things without focus and direction and eventually a case of abuse and misuse.Starting out, don't be rigid. We evolve in seasons. However, know the connection of each season/passion/expression within the grand scheme of your lifework and purpose. I would rather suggest that one owns his/her life outcomes as against external circusmstances/'fate'This resource will come in handy as well, check it out https://abrahamowoseni.com/joinlhc

A major decision for me was majoring in Computer Science, I always had an interest in biology and medicine but knew that CS could be leveraged to enhance these fields even further. Also choosing to focus on research vs. software engineering internships in undergrad really gave me a strong research foundation that helped me in my successful admission to PhD programs!As for advice, if you want to do a PhD, I would suggest you start looking into research opportunities or programs on campus as soon as possible or look into AI residency programs. It's hard to admit students into PhD programs without research experience and I find that many students put this off until later.

Great reaction!!! Trust me when I say we live in a man's world where for some reason even at the top echelon, woman are scrutinized. I've personally decided to be at my best and in most cases ignore the unnecessary pressures that come with being a woman. Developing a thick skin too helps in the sense that you don't take everything personally and remain authentic. Lastly, endeavour not to be a people pleasure because women are expected to always be fine with the rubbish that is thrown at them. I maintain my standards and work at being better and I break the rules for a living. I don't know if this answers your question?

For startup, the vision and mission of the founders should be very clear that every employee can identify with them and broken down into measurable behaviours expected from employees with the founders leading by example.I don’t have a blog at the moment. Maybe in the near future 😊

Thank you so much Tobi for that question and thanks for this great work and platform.Yes, I agree with those current challenges you highlighted. And like you shared, this sums it up "The system also is very porous." My two cents will be that;1. Regulatory bodies should synergise and stop the blame-game, hate-strife rivalries.There's a lot of home-keeping to be done there.For example, imagine a CORBON, COREN, ESVARBON, TOPREC, ARCON... working together in harmony? Imagine how that will positively influence the construction industry;Imagine swift registration of professionals and massive public enlightenment on the value/worth of professional services;Imagine a well-regulated curriculum with 21st-century realities in each of the professional fields?Also is the need for2. Regulation of the Informal sectors in the Construction IndustrySkilled trades and vocations such as carpentry, tiling, ironmongery, etc need lots of support and regulation so society values their worth and they are also well remunerated. Imagine a regulatory body for tilers and then a tiler upon training is certified with code of conduct, ethics etc as it obtains for the professional fields. That's part of the difference between the 1st world and the 3rd world, all fields and skilled trades are well regulated, monitored and rewarded whether it's SSCE, OND, HND, BSc/BEng/BTech/MSc/PhD a person has.Until we come to the point where we see the services of each one as 'complementation' and not 'competition,' the challenges may persist. A tiler is as valuable and good as a Lawyer although one is a vocation/skilled trade and the other, a profession. I shared more on this in my book the career leader, talking about the career model.
