Meet Faith Emmanuel Faith | Human Resource Professional and Employability skills trainer.

We had the good fortune of connecting with Faith Emmanuel Faith and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Faith, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
I am largely driven by the need to add value to others. I am keen about the impact I am able to make by creating a product (digital and physical) or offering services that provide solutions that meets people’s needs

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a versatile human resource professional and I presently Lead the People and Culture at one of the fast-growing wealth techs in Africa. My journey has been quite interesting, I had a background in Economics and people with my background often pursue a career in finance, I am one of the exceptions.

It wasn’t an easy ride, as I climbed up the career ladder through consistent learning, adding value and creating visible and scalable solutions in different roles myself. I also wrote recognisable certifications, joined virtual communities and deliberately connected with people who had the relevant value and impact.
Having worked across different industries, the lessons I have learnt includes the following:
1. Always be willing to learn, we really do never stop learning and we learn from anything and everything
2. Don’t make a mistake twice (I am still learning this too😊)
3. Don’t just work, show you are working and let everyone, your stakeholders especially see the impact of your work.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
This question is quite interesting, because I currently live in Lagos, but i would also talk about L.A. If you are visiting Lagos, we would probably stop by a spacious bookstore with serene environment, Ouida stores at Ikeja GRA and Roving heights at Landmark towers comes to mind. We would then visit a restaurant like Nok by alara (You get to experience traditional dishes in exciting manner) or Ocean basket. We would then visit Nike art gallery, TerraKulture and other eye-catching scenarios.
It would be great to see third mainland bridge (one of the longest bridges in Africa) at night, and also visit a 3D cinemas with VR simulations. I think this would give you a glimpse of Lagos.

For L.A, we could visit Malibu, or start with a window-shop at Rodeo drive. We could visit the grand centre square for a bit of shopping and networking before going the beach, or disney, because are we not children one way or the other?

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to give a shout-out to Dolapo Dahunsi, Samuel Akinlotan, Funto Koya and Ijeoma Nkwota for their investment in my career.
