S.M.I.L.E
We were deeply honored to have our esteemed partner, Mrs. Bukola Agbeniga, Group Finance Director for Babycare Product Supply – Asia, Middle East & Africa at Procter & Gamble, join us virtually from Dubai to deliver an inspiring pep talk during the second module of the Executive Mentoring Program for Youth (EMPY), setting a powerful tone for the year ahead.
At S.M.I.L.E, we believe that authentic stories and practical insights have the power to ignite real transformation. That’s why Mrs. Agbeniga, an accomplished professional and visionary leader, shared her incredible life journey—from launching her first business at the tender age of 8 to building a thriving career in a Fortune 500 company.
She emphasized that success is not a destination but a continuous process of growth, perseverance, and self-discovery. Drawing from her personal experiences, she shared with the mentees that she wasn’t born with a silver spoon, highlighting the importance of determination and grit.
Mrs. Agbeniga challenged mentees to reflect deeply on their unique contributions, urging them to focus on creating value, cultivating a growth mindset, and committing to lifelong learning. She encouraged them to direct their energy toward what they can control and influence, while also building a personal brand that embodies their values, skills, and impact.
Her session was truly a masterclass in navigating life’s complexities with courage, clarity, and purpose. Her impactful story and practical insights left our mentees inspired to pursue growth, embrace challenges, and lead with intention.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Agbeniga for her unwavering support, dedication, and commitment to shaping the next generation of leaders.
