How to position yourself this year as a woman

This is year is all about intentionality. As a lady, you can start this year with all the shine and glamour and thrive at your field.

The world is evolving, and the modern woman must stay steps ahead. Therefore, positioning yourself well will earn you growth and success in the year. So, how do you set yourself apart in style? Stay glued and see how to run this year like the woman boss:

Join a Big church

There is a saying that women attend church services than men. If this is true, why not kill two birds with a stone? No cap, attending a church where movers and shakers gather is a power move. This year, avoid the urge to go to the family’s church and head out to where opportunity lies.

Big churches with diverse personalities are goldmines for networking and exposure. Attend services, join a department, participate in events, and engage in meaningful conversations. Beyond spiritual growth, it’s an avenue to connect with people who can inspire and elevate you and your business.

Dine at fancy restaurants

I know dining at fancy restaurants is resource-consuming but it’s the big thing celebrities and great personalities are doing for networking and connections. If you don’t put yourself in the faces of those who need to see you so you can pitch your business to them, how would they see you?

Ditch that jollof in a cooler for a five-star dining experience at least once a week. Fancy restaurants aren’t just for the food; they’re for the vibes and connections. Dress the part, be confident, and watch how even casual dining can turn into an opportunity to meet like-minded individuals or potential collaborators.

Have an intentional circle of friends

If the type of friends you have are those who bring you premium gist in the neighbourhood or about who’s got the latest car in the hood, have a rethink. Your squad says a lot about you. Surround yourself with friends who inspire, uplift, and challenge you to grow. No toxic vibes here—2025 is about intentionality. Seek out friends who dream big, hustle hard, and encourage you to level up. After all, your network is your net worth!

Travel for big events

Pack that suitcase and hit the road—or the skies. Travel broadens your horizon, exposes you to new cultures, and positions you among industry greats. Go for that conference, attend the wedding, or a high-profile launch party. Show up and make an impression; you don’t know who saw you there and would make reference tomorrow. Having a triangular lifestyle won’t get you noticed.

Revamp your wardrobe

2025 is not the year for frumpy fashion. Your wardrobe should reflect your ambition. If you love to look like a boss lady, dress like one— sewing Iro and a big blouse won’t bring that to reality. Invest in chic pieces that exude confidence—think tailored blazers, classy dresses, and accessories that pop. Let your style announce your presence before you even say a word. Also invest in good shoes and slippers.

Be open to networking anywhere

Networking isn’t limited to formal events. The saloon where you make your hair rocks! You can also network at the Spa, a brunch, or a business seminar. Just be approachable and ready to connect.

Also, try to have intentional contacts on speed dial—mentors, industry leaders, or even that fashion influencer you admire. Building genuine relationships can open doors you never imagined.

Don’t be indoors all the time

Ladies, it’s time to step out. Life is happening outside your front door, and so are the opportunities. Attend art exhibitions, fitness boot camps, or exclusive meetups. Go for that Sip and Paint you were invited. The more you show up, the more chances you have to position yourself as a woman of influence and substance.

Invest in personal growth

Take online courses and attend workshops. Make 2025 the year of your growth spurt. Knowledge is power, and the more skilled and informed you are, the better you can position yourself in any room.

Have a social media presence

Your online presence is just as important as your offline one. Post content that reflects your brand and personality. Engage with influential accounts and build an authentic following. Social media is your digital business card. So, update your LinkedIn and restructure your Instagram page.

This year, be intentional with everything— the way you dress, speak, walk and greet people. Read books and connect more than you did last year and growth is just a mile away.
