At Stanbic Bank’s From Passion to Profit event held yesterday, attendees were treated to an inspiring exchange of ideas on entrepreneurship, leadership, and personal growth. The platform brought together accomplished women from diverse professional backgrounds, creating a space for meaningful dialogue on how to build and scale successful ventures.
During the session, I had the honour of sharing my own entrepreneurship journey alongside seasoned leaders who continue to shape the business landscape. The discussions were rich, practical, and deeply motivating.
Here are some of the standout insights shared during the presentations:
-
Raise your value, not your voice.
-
If they ignore you in the boardroom, keep presenting value.
-
Being right is not always the most useful approach.
-
Validate yourself — self-talk can lead you to success or failure. It is a lonely space, but essential for self-confidence.
-
When in authority, be visible.
-
Your start-up capital is closer than you think.
-
Scaling your business is possible — begin with what you have.
-
Serious entrepreneurs have a mentor, a coach, and a sponsor.
Thank you to Stanbic Bank for creating a platform that continues to empower and elevate entrepreneurs across the country.
