As part of its mission of self -transformation, the Great Excellent Minds coaching network (HR G.E.Ms) is set to host its annual Workers Day event, themed “Mindset Transformation: The Transformed Professional’.

The event, which is scheduled to hold on May 17, 2025 at the CIPM hall, Alausa, will bring together HR professionals from diverse industries, fostering impactful discussions on personal and professional growth. With a lineup of industry experts, keynote speaker, and engaging sessions, designed to equip participants with the mindset shifts needed to excel in their careers and lives.

According to the HR Gems convener, Lara Yeku, the theme of the event is predicated on recent research by McKinsey & Company, which states that 70 per cent of organisational efforts to drive change and improve performance, fails. She therefore noted that transformational change requires individuals to behave differently, which means that leaders must address how people think and act in their day-to-day work.

Coach Lara also noted that addressing an organisation’s mindset has a tangible business impact and it is the key that opens the door to successfully transforming an organisation with HR being a Change Agent based on Dave Ulrich’s model.

Some of the confirmed speakers for the event include a Premium Business Strategist, Dr. Ugochukwu Omeogu; CTO, YF Talent Partners, Mr. Yemi Faseun; DG, NECA, Mr. Wale-Smatt Oyerinde; CEO, EZ37 Solutions, Coach Adaora Ayoade; CEO, RoebiGlobal, Dr. Remi Abere and CEO, WINBOX, Dr. Osaz.
