The summit brought together business leaders and industry experts to explore the theme of ‘Leading Effectively in Uncertainty.’ The conference immersed attendees, in a dynamic environment filled with thought-provoking keynote speeches and engaging panel discussions.
In today’s rapidly evolving 21st-century marketplace, excelling in the face of uncertainty requires exceptional leadership skills. Recognising this imperative, the GLS4Business summit aspired to empower business leaders with the tools and insights necessary to navigate the challenges they encounter. With an unwavering commitment to empowering leaders, the summit embraced a forward-thinking approach that fostered innovation, resilience, and adaptability.

Through their insights, participants gained invaluable perspectives on driving growth, fostering collaboration, and maintaining a competitive edge in an ever-changing business landscape.

“Integrity is the cornerstone of successful business leadership. By prioritising ethical practices and maintaining transparency, leaders can build trust and create a foundation for sustainable growth,” he said.
In her keynote address, Awosika encouraged businesses to adapt to the dynamic and constantly changing business environment. “Identifying problems puts you in a position to do something about it. Before you jump into anything, plan properly and do your due diligence. Many businesses fall short due to insufficient information on how to engage the relevant apparatuses of government,” she said.
Renowned leadership expert and Founder of the Daystar Leadership Academy, Dr. Sam Adeyemi, highlighted the need for businesses to keep pace with the evolution of technology or watch their businesses fossilised into obscurity. With an unwavering commitment to empowering leaders, the summit embraced a forward-thinking approach that fostered innovation, resilience, and adaptability.
Heather R. Younger also provided the audience insights on how powerful communication serves as a guiding light for leaders and organisations seeking to create lasting success in a keynote address streamed virtually.
“In a world full of distractions, being present is the best present you can give to anyone. It deepens connections, strengthens relationships, and fuels genuine understanding,” said the founder and CEO of Customer, Fanatix USA.
The GMD of Rainoil Limited, Dr Gabriel Ogbechie, in his powerful speech, urged participants to embrace change, challenge conventions, and proactively seek opportunities to evolve their businesses for long-term success.
“Business leaders must adapt or die. To thrive in today’s ever-changing landscape, step out of your comfort zone and embrace innovation. You cannot expect different results by doing the same
things repeatedly. Do business as they are and not as they ought to be,” he said.
