*Dear Young Nigeria Professionals, *

We have been invited by the Nigerian Association for Living Values Education
(NAFOLIVE) in collaboration with the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual
University (BKWSU) Nigeria to participate in its Workshop on Values in

Board Members, chief Executives, directors and deputy directors.

In the United Nations Millennium report "We the Peoples, The role of the
United Nations in the 21st century", We also identify a set of values that
we believe are of particular importance in an age of globalisation and
accelerating interdependence among people and nations. Those values,
freedom, Trust, Respect, Tolerance, Co-operation, Non-Violence, Shared
Responsibility and Equity and Solidarity can help us free our fellow men and
women from poverty, repression and the scourge of war. They can also help us
improve on patterns of development that endanger the ecosystem and the
resources on which life depends. But they will have no effects unless we
recognise them as shared values and translate them into practical measures.
This in turn can also help create a better understanding of who we are ,the
Peoples are thereby cultivate the very sense of common humanity that is
needed if we are to exercise collective responsibility.

The content is such that participants would after the workshop be equipped
with the best leadership and management skills needed to excel and bring
about transformational change that drives wealth creation as well as
building an even stronger organization.

which he has used in several multinational organizations. The methodology
consists of a series of workshops centered around positive self reflection
that helps Participants understand their core values and how it relates to
those of the organisations that they work for. The workshop will also
provide space for self creativity as well as interactive Dialogue.

interest to all.Have a lovely week ahead.

HOW TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB?

Put about 100 bricks in some
Particular order in a closed
Room with an
Open window.


Then send 2 or 3 candidates in
The room and close the door.

Leave them alone and come back
After 6 hours and then analyze
The situation.

If they are counting the
Bricks.
Put them in the accounts
Department.


If they are recounting them..
Put them in auditing .

If they have messed up the
Whole place with the bricks.
Put them in engineering.

If they are arranging the
Bricks in some strange order.
Put them in planning.


If they are throwing the
Bricks at each other.
Put them in operations .

If they are sleeping.
Put them in security.

If they have broken the bricks
Into pieces.
Put them in information

Different combinations, yet
Not a brick has
Been moved. Put them in sales.

If they have already left for
The day.
Put them in marketing.

Window.
Put them on strategic

In clear terms, the President of GOTNI, Linus Okorie explains, “…at this stage of our national life when the lack of leadership values has become so glaring to a crisis situation, the obvious need to begin to nurture a new generation of servant leaders has become imperative.

Dear Young Nigerian Professionals, *

We are accepting nominations for our exclusive event: *Top 40 under 40
female professionals in Nigeria*. You know of any female professional making
positive impact in Nigeria particularly those uncelebrated, then read below
and please visit www.niproevents. com for details.

*TOP 40 UNDER 40 FEMALE PROFESSIONALS IN NIGERIA*

*Lagos, Nigeria -- June 1st, 2005 --* When we took to the streets to ask,
Who are the top 40 under 40 female professionals in Nigeria? Here is one of
the answers we got, 'That one na easy question, if you want make I name
names': Madame Speaker, Honourable Etteh is one, Doctor Mrs Ndi
Okereke-Onyiuke, Stock Exchange is another! Wait, wait, we said, under 40?!
I hear you my brothers but wetin a woman fit accomplish before 40 in this
country that would make a top lady?!'

The average Joe and Jane in Nigeria don't have a monopoly over such
sentiment. It seems as a nation, as with many others around the world, we
are yet to come to grips with the reality that more and more women,
especially younger women, are raising to top of their careers. It therefore
becomes an imperative for us, as a nation, to start sensitizing ourselves to
this notion that women of all ages deserve the right to be successful.

To inspire and cultivate a Nigeria that appreciates the young professional
woman, the Nigerian Professionals Network (NiPRO) is hosting the first of
its kind reception to recognize and highlight the achievements of young
professional women in Nigeria. "Let us catch and honour them young, to help
inspire more of them to become the likes of Dr. (Mrs) Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke,
says Kamil Olufowobi, the Executive Director of NiPRO International. He went
on to say, we aim to connect these up and coming 40 diverse, young and
talented female professionals with their more established counterparts, one
to facilitate mentorship and two, as a group we are asking for a collective
and innovative plan of action to help inspire more female leadership in
Nigeria."

In honouring the Top 40 under 40 Female professionals in Nigeria, as NiPRO
intends to do as part of their 2nd Top (40) under (40) Conventions on
Sunday, September 9th, 2007 in Lagos, NiPRO will begin the transformation
the Nigerian society needs with regards to embracing female leadership of
all ages. The NiPRO Woman summit and reception will attract the who is who

Overview

We are witnessing today the gradual change of perception by many
governments, organizations and individuals around the world about the role
of women in Society. Nigeria for instance with the ushering of democracy has
little by little seen many women risen to higher positions in academics,
politics and the corporate world. Young women are continuing to use their
special talents (feminine genius and energy) to transform the Nigerian
Society. Therefore, it becomes necessary to recognize and highlight the
achievements of these women to inspire and cultivate a Nigeria that
appreciates the NiPRO Woman. This elegant dinner reception will recognize
and highlight the achievements of 40 diverse, young and talented female
professionals in Nigeria.

1. To create a platform for the 2007 Top (40) Under (40) female

more female leadership in Nigeria
