SUMMARY:Career Advancement and Transition
DESCRIPTION:How to Build Value\, Be Seen\, and Make your Next Move\, was hosted by the University of Benin Agric Excellence Guild. \nThe webinar featured Iyetule Abobare\, Head of Corporate Performance at Ikeja Electric\, who shared practical strategies for breaking out of professional stagnation. \nCore Themes and Learnings\nDefining Real Workplace Value: Value goes beyond a standard job title and centers entirely on business impact. Abobare defined it simply by asking what would fall apart if you stopped showing up\, advising professionals to track exact results like reducing approval times or saving money. \nThe Power of Intentional Visibility: Being good at your job isn’t enough if nobody notices. The session emphasized building a digital presence on LinkedIn\, leveraging trusted referrals\, volunteering\, and attending industry events so you are actively seen\, remembered\, and recommended. \nSmart Career Transitions: Shifting paths successfully requires picking a clear direction\, closing skill gaps through online courses\, leaning on transferable skills\, and rewriting your professional story to fit the new role. \nPersonal Evolution: Drawing from her own non-linear journey—which spanned from a degree in soil science to roles in IT\, energy transition\, development finance\, and consulting. \nAbobare illustrated that background doesn’t limit potential as long as you keep learning and treating your career like a product. The webinar concluded with an interactive Q&A session\, encouraging attendees to shift from a fixed mindset to a growth-oriented approach\, prioritize action over the fear of change\, and recognize that career growth encompasses better pay\, flexibility\, and continuous learning rather than just linear promotions. \n ↓ Watch Event \n ↓ Download Slides \nClick the button to download or view the official document.
