PwC Nigeria reposted this
Boardroom meetings and high-profile engagements are powerful, but few moments compare to the privilege of addressing our newest graduate hires at PwC Nigeria. As a partner leading our Consultancy and Risk Services practice, one of the most fulfilling aspects of my role is engaging with the early-career professionals that join our workforce. The faces may change, but the energy in the room remains constant: genuine enthusiasm, bold ambitions, intriguing questions, and a contagious sense of possibility. Each session is a humbling reminder of the first day of my now twenty-eight-year career (twenty-three of which I have spent here at the PwC London and Lagos offices). It’s a full-circle moment that reinforces the importance of legacy, mentorship, and intentional leadership. You see, our decision to have partners interact directly with new hires is deliberate. We are cultivating a generation of professionals who are not only technically sound but also confident in engaging with leadership, whether in business, politics, or society at large. These sessions are more than introductions; they are cultural handshakes, transferring our ethos, values, and expectations to those who will shape the future of our firm and our country. It was also a pleasure to meet some of the new joiners who had previously connected with me here on LinkedIn. That kind of initiative and curiosity is exactly what we hope to nurture, because beyond strategy and execution, leadership is about the ability to inspire. Here’s to the next generation of leaders in the room. Welcome to PwC. #PwCNigeria #GraduateInduction #TeamPwC #GrowHereGoFurther #Leadership #Consulting #PeopleFirst #NextGenLeaders
