Changing Career: Quick talk to the Newly-minted Pharmacist
I graduated as a pharmacist 7 years ago and have not practised as one since completing the mandatory NYSC program. Note that I did pretty well in pharmacy school: finishing with a first-class CGPA and a distinction. I remember giving the valedictory speech at my induction ceremony and mentioning that some of the new graduates would end up doing other things besides pharmacy. That particular remark earned a smirk from the Chairman of the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria…Read more

Network is a career catalyst, you still must provide the main substance of the reaction…Read more

Why Success Depends on Thinking Like an Owner
In an effort to get ahead in our careers, we test out new leadership tactics like we change our clothes. Whatever the current fad – from Lean Processes, to Management by Objective, to Agile Leadership – it’s easy to get sucked into the next promise of get-successful-quick.
The truth is, one simple mindset has stood the test of time. It’s the difference between those who achieve and those who stumble, those who rise up and those who get left behind…Read more

Shades of Color!
Sailing through the tides of pharmacy school, I must say for all, was not a mean feat! The times in the laboratories, late night readings, cramming of structures you weren’t sure you would ever use, industrial attachment experience ( for the newer generation pharmacists) and of course the trepidation that gets the best of you when final results are about to be released. Whether it was at the first or second attempt, eventually you qualified as a pharmacist! Then comes the induction ceremony and the Pharmacy oath is taken, relief and excitement is fully expressed when celebrating with family and friends. The day ends and reality dawns…Read more
Building Your Career is a Journey
I had an event to attend and had to drive all by myself to the venue, a task I honestly didn’t fancy. So I got the directions though I didn’t quite grab them, set off all the same. Following the traffic signs and going by the directions in my head I made a right turn at some point and found myself on a wrong route, luckily I was able to ask people on the streets for directions and I was back on the highway. Thinking to myself and supposedly following the traffic signs, lo and behold I missed the turn again! The directions I was initially given were for the shorter route to my event but since I missed the turn I had to take the longer route. I almost aborted the journey but with a clear objective of attending this event, no matter how long it took, getting there was it for me. Building a career is like going on a journey…Read more
