Holistic CAREER Development COACHING and MENTORSHIP Perspective!

The title of the book is very inviting, Holistic CAREER Development COACHING and MENTORSHIP Perspective! The Insights from my Personal and Professional Development Journey! It is a practical book for coaches, mentors, human capital practitioners, and these interventions’ beneficiaries.

Nigerian Culture Quiz

For this Bridging Cultures Show, focusing on the Nigerian Culture, we are joined by my former colleague at Motorola, Mr Steve Oboh, Founder and Director of SteveBeck Limited, a Human Resources consultancy based in Lagos, Nigeria. Steve Oboh, and I led Motorola HR in Africa, reporting to the Middle East Africa (MEA) office in Dubai, UAE. Our MEA region was regarded as the most culturally diverse region in the Motorola world. I was Head of HR for Motorola South Africa, dealing with South African and Southern African regions. and Steve was Head of Motorola Nigeria, dealing with Nigerian and West African regions. Cultural Diversity was central to our work as we welcomed many Motorola expatriates from around the world into our already culturally diverse region. We had to become experts in Global Talent Mobility and advise the Motorola Global HR Team on local and regional cultural dynamics. I am delighted to host my former colleague, friend and brother, Steve Oboh, as our special guest to give us some personal and professional insights into Nigerian culture. What a reunion with Steve! Dean Foster and I enjoyed this 5th Edition of our monthly BRIDGING CULTURES SHOW focusing on Nigerian Culture, the last one for the year 2023.  This is a public episode.
