Leadership in Nigeria is evolving and the old rules no longer work. What leaders need now isn’t more theory, but clarity, agility, and purpose. That’s exactly what The Versatile Leader Training delivers, and this September, it’s coming to Abuja and Lagos for the first time ever.
This program is not your typical workshop. It’s a powerful blend of African-rooted insight, practical metaphors, and global leadership strategies. Designed by Msuega Tese, a Harvard Owner/President Management Alumnus, it draws from over three decades of combined experience in ministry, business, and executive coaching across Africa, Europe, and the U.S.
“Leadership isn’t a title. It’s the wisdom to respond with the right mindset at the right moment,” says Tese.
At the heart of the training is a memorable metaphor-based model: 12 leadership identities from pilot to parent, soldier to physician, each one representing a different way to lead depending on what the moment requires. It’s not about personality types, it’s about building range.
Whether you’re a young professional seeking clarity in your next steps, an HR manager tasked with inspiring growth, a pastor guiding a rapidly changing congregation, or an entrepreneur managing uncertainty, this training empowers you to lead by design, not by default. The Versatile Leader Training is crafted to help you respond intentionally to leadership challenges, not just react out of habit.
Participants leave the program with a practical leadership toolkit built on powerful metaphors and adaptable mindsets. They gain a new understanding of how to stay effective under pressure, the confidence to lead transitions rather than just manage people, and access to a vibrant alumni network. Every attendee also receives a certificate of completion and a comprehensive leadership workbook to reinforce their learning.
For a discounted fee of ₦75,000 (originally ₦250,000), participants enjoy a rich leadership development experience. The package includes a full day of in-person training, happening in Abuja on September 13 and Lagos on September 20, followed by four virtual sessions to deepen the learning journey. In addition, each participant receives a leadership manual, tea break and refreshments during the live session, and an official certificate of completion.
The Versatile Leader is already generating powerful buzz from CEOs, mission leaders, and changemakers across the globe. Alumni of the program describe it as nothing short of transformational. “This isn’t a seminar, it’s a shift. It changed how I lead my team, my home, and even myself,” shares Fatima Almeida, CEO of BayQi. Bulus Silas Bossan of The Navigators International adds, “It reads like a story but rewires how you think.” This feedback reflects the deep and lasting impact the training continues to have across sectors and cultures.
What sets The Versatile Leader apart is its grounding in African wisdom and faith-based principles. Tese, the program’s creator, draws from a rich tapestry of African proverbs, Biblical insight, and lived experience to create a leadership model that speaks to both the heart and the context of the modern leader. “When the rhythm of the drum changes, the dance must change too,” he explains, underscoring the program’s focus on adaptive leadership in ever-changing environments.
This isn’t just another leadership event, it’s an invitation to rediscover clarity, conviction, and cultural confidence in your leadership journey. Whether you plan to join in Abuja on September 13 or in Lagos on September 20, each participant will enjoy a blended learning experience with one immersive in-person session and four virtual sessions spread across weekends. With a subsidized fee of ₦75,000 covering training materials, refreshments, and certification, registration is now open on www.ng.versatile.now. Early sign-up is advised, as space is intentionally limited for deeper engagement.
