Event overview
This International Women’s Day 2026, Workforce Group convenes senior HR leaders and emerging HR professionals across Nigeria for a powerful, structured leadership exchange designed to strengthen the future of the HR profession.
The global IWD call reminds us that progress accelerates when we intentionally give our time, our knowledge, our access. Give To Gain is our response. In a profession that is rapidly evolving from operational support to strategic influence, the next generation of HR leaders must be equipped not just with knowledge but with clarity, confidence, and executive perspective.
This experience creates a guided space where seasoned leaders share hard-earned insight, and
ambitious professionals gain the strategic direction required to lead effectively in complex organisations.
When women in HR rise strategically, organisations rise sustainably.
Key Conversations During the Session
- From Operational to Strategic HR Leadership – What truly shifts an HR professional from execution to influence? How do you earn credibility at the executive table and sustain it?
- Building Presence & Influence – In increasingly complex organisational environments, how do women in HR strengthen their voice, navigate resistance, and position themselves as strategic advisors?
- Career Acceleration & Sponsorship – What experiences matter more than titles? When is the right time to move? How do you attract sponsorship and leadership visibility?
- The Future of HR in Nigeria – As the profession continues to evolve, what capabilities will define HR leaders over the next five years?
Programme Format
This is not a webinar. It is a structured mentoring experience. The 2-hour virtual session will include:
- Executive Insight Conversation – A fast-paced moderated dialogue with senior HR leaders on strategic influence and executive readiness.
- Facilitated Mentoring Circles – Participants will move into curated breakout rooms for focused, framework-driven conversations designed to produce real clarity and actionable direction.
- The Give To Gain Commitment – A collective leadership pledge reinforcing our shared responsibility to strengthen the future of HR.
Perks of the session
- High-Impact Mentoring Circles – Engage directly with experienced HR executives in structured discussions focused on practical growth, not theory.
- Direct Executive Access – Ask your questions, gain real-world insight, and learn from leaders who have navigated boardrooms and transformation journeys.
- Actionable Leadership Roadmap – Walk away with a defined 90-day action plan to strengthen your strategic positioning and executive readiness.
