Succeeding in Today's Workplace. Panel Discussion

by Martin Udogie


The workplace is changing, in many ways. What may have guaranteed career success in the past are becoming less so. Certain skills have become more critical and therefore more valued in the workplace.


And of course, the market for skilled labour is now global. Anyone can be hired anywhere. Just as possession of certain skills-set can take you anywhere, anyone can also come to your country to fill a particular vacancy.


How is today’s workplace different from the past era? What skills are critical to success in today’s global, competitive job market? And what are the implications for our educational and school curricular? What is relevant extra-curricular? What role for parents, government and corporate organisations?

These and more will be explored by our Panel of experts in the next edition of BUSINESS HOUR with Martin Udogie, this Saturday, at 12 noon, on the network service of Radio Nigeria.

Mrs. Catherine Bickersteth co-founded Strategic Educational Advisory Services Limited, which focuses on developing world-class intellect. She is a former executive with Citibank and was for a decade with the UK Department for International Development.

She is also the West African Director of African Leadership Academy, based in Johannesburg and a Trustee of Hope4Girls, among others.

Mrs. Chioma Isiadinso is the CEO of EXPARTUS (www.expartus.com), a global admissions consulting company that has worked with clients from over 50 countries.

She was a former Harvard Business School admissions board member and a former director of admissions at Carnegie Mellon University. Chioma is the author of The Best Business Schools’ Admissions Secrets and is a sought after international speaker on the subject of admissions, personal branding, and leadership development.

She has been interviewed by Financial Times, New York Times, The Guardian and on CNBC’s “Power Lunch”. She is now based in Lagos, Nigeria.

We speak to her on Saturday, February 16, 2013, at 12 Noon. Join the network which will also be streamed Live online at www.radionigeriaonline.com.
