Artelier Lifestyle Consultants Graduates Inaugural Class of “Future First Ladies”™

In what can be described as the first of its kind, Artelier Lifestyle Consultants, Nigeria’s leading Etiquette and Image Consultancy, on Saturday, 25th November, 2017, graduated the first class of “Future First Ladies”™, after an intensive Finishing school, Mentoring and Coaching programme designed to give a balanced spiritual and social foundation to young ladies aged 18 and above, equipping them to become well rounded leaders. The eight-week practical learning sessions had profound female leaders and role models spend time with the ladies from 10 am to 2 pm each Saturday, imparting various skills required for them to become more eloquent, make better decisions, be more successful financial managers, demonstrate social etiquette skills, and master personal style among many others. During her session, Former Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria, Unoaku Anyadike, spoke to participants on how she developed a personal style and grooming regimen, which helped her stand out and become a two-time national and international beauty queen in addition to maintaining an elegant, fashionable image. Top Regional HR Director, Folake Adeniyi-Adeleye, also shared tips from her journey to building an enviable global career and how to navigate workplace harassment. Mrs Yetty Williams, the founder of Nigeria’s foremost parenting platform, LagosMums, mentored participants on what they need to do before saying “I Do” as well as how to create the ever elusive work-life balance. Celebrity Stylist and Chief Executive Officer of Hyperfashun, Ifeoma Odogwu, took the students on a practical session in putting together a stylish wardrobe and staying fashionable on a budget while Africa’s Premier Wealth Coach and author, Omilola Oshikoya, also spoke to the “Future First Ladies”™, on how to become a “Richer Woman”. The participants were given autographed copies of her best-selling book, “The Richer Woman” courtesy of the organisers. Africa’s top Cosmetics company, House of Tara, facilitated a hands-on session where the ladies were shown how to create different looks, using the right makeup products for individual skin types. Commenting on the finishing school experience, one of the participants, Yemisi, said “..attending the finishing school was a life-changing experience for me, things I took for granted such as my dining skills and makeup routine were emphasised – on how they help to project me for a more successful outcome in life. I learnt so much that I am already implementing on my job and in personal projects. I definitely recommend this for every woman out there, it is never too late to attend a finishing school.” Ngozi Princewill Utchay, Founder/CEO, Artelier Lifestyle Consultants said, “the Future First Ladies Finishing school, Mentoring and Coaching Programme was initiated to fill a gap in the society”, which she had seen occur frequently where young women ended up living average lives because they lacked the right spiritual foundation and had little or no access to the right role models to guide them in making sound decisions. We are pleased with the feedback from this inaugural session. Future First Ladies Finishing School, Coaching and Mentoring Programme ran from Saturday, 7th October 2017, to Saturday 25th November 2017, and was generously supported by Yves Rocher Nigeria, House of Tara, Onobello.com, Events by Maryann Colette, Genevieve Magazine, LagosMums and Prime Chinese Restuarant.
