Top answers from some of our sessions.

Good question...It mostly depends on how HR is being practiced in each Organization. Generally, HR needs to improve knowledge of the business so we are more impactful in our initiatives

Dolapo Onasanya

HR Manager @ Pernod Ricard Western Africa

Sir Toby, great to read from you. Your wonderful well coined words say more. With all honesty, as the saying goes: everyone, everything have its place in this world we live in.I personally mostly bring back my momentum by listening to motivational speakers. I will say, Entrepreneurs should be very INTENTIONAL in every action taken both for life and for business. Listening to a motivational speaker doesn't help you solve the hard problems before you. They MOTIVATE you to hold on, think harder, ask if need be and keep pushing upward. Entrepreneurs, don't allow everyone be your cup of tea. As you pipe up or down you client search, so should you pipe down the motivations you listen to daily.

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

Hello Toluwanimi. I completely agree with you. ADHD is underdiagnosed in Nigeria. The diagnosis has very specific criteria which include hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity of a certain duration. A lot of healthcare workers are unaware of the criteria. Parents may also seek help late or not at all. When the diagnosis is made, there is little consensus on what management methods work best. This lack ofuniformity of therapy makes management challenging. Coping for families involves support groups, a Multispecialist approach to care including the paediatrician , paediatric nurse, paediatric psychologist, child psychiatrist and the occupational therapist. Children with ADHD may have other issues like oppositional behavior which need to be addressed. Building capacity to diagnose and treat ADHD as well as creating public awareness will go a long way to help children with this condition

Consultant Paediatrician @ Lagos

Hi Daniel, I think for this you just need to put yourself out there. Write more, put your writing online, on Medium, LinkedIn, even Twitter. Work towards becoming a contributor on platforms that are aligned with your style of writing. Build the right connections by going to writers workshops, interacting with the right people online, etc. Also, it sounds random, but make it clear you are a writer, use your bios wisely. At the end of the day, you want people to search your name and see your writing skills.

Senior Digital Communications Analyst @ Oando Plc

Hello Boma, Another great thing about digital, it's all in the the data. You're able to see instantly if people are engaging with your posts, or are taking the required action you need. It's not always about the target audience though, it can be your content strategy that needs to be changed. Unless your product or the market change significantly, I don't think there is ever a reason to completely change your audience as that is often tied to the kind of product you are providing, most times you are looking at a more focused segment of the audience as oppose to a complete change - for example, I started off targeting black women for my makeup line, but now I have a new product that will make your eyes pop and look bigger, so whilst I am marketing generally to black women, I want to further target black women who have small eyes. Unless you reached the wrong target audience from the start, then you need a complete overhaul.

Senior Digital Communications Analyst @ Oando Plc

Hi Nathaniel, First things first, Google is your friend. Find useful resources online, there's a lot of useful material on LinkedIn as well. Take courses, depending on what it is, you may be able to find free courses. Find people in the space you're looking for to mentor you. Also remember, a lot of skills are transferrable, so look for ways you can change gears with the skills you have gained previously and use it to ad value to your new career.

Senior Digital Communications Analyst @ Oando Plc

I think that the answer below on drones for agriculture and food security addresses many of the main advantages we can take. Using drones can reduce the manpower necessary for high throughput and can help monitor and optimize resources, which can be very beneficial for the public. However, we must look ethically at every stakeholder that would be affected by these integrations before we can truly understand the benefits.

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

Dolapo Onasanya

HR Manager @ Pernod Ricard Western Africa

The simple idea of doing a business shows you are somebody. To start, besure of what you want to share, be sure of who needs it and be sure its going to bring back returns. Remember you are not a nobody, you are definitely someone's answered prayers. Know that you hold the solution to the world's biggest problem...just be able to identify, start telling someone about it. The first step is always the founding step.
