What does it really mean to be a woman in corporate Nigeria today? In this episode of the Women Unlimited Podcast, Arese Ugwu sits down with Kike Fajemirokun-Enakele for a candid conversation about the realities many women are still navigating at work: quiet burnout, maternity leave, flexibility, salary negotiation, promotions, office politics, leadership, Gen Z in the workplace, and the tricky balance between building a personal brand and surviving corporate culture. They talk about: - Why many women in the workplace are experiencing “quiet burnout” - Whether women are still penalised for pregnancy and maternity leave - The questions women should ask in interviews but often avoid - Why Gen Z is forcing workplace culture to change - How likability politics really work in corporate environments - Why women often negotiate too cautiously - How to think about visibility, leadership and personal branding in Nigeria If you’re building a career, navigating leadership, or trying to grow without burning out, this episode is for you! 00:00 Welcome to Women Unlimited with Arese Ugwu 00:45 Meet Kike Fajemirokun-Enakele, HR Executive, GM and Board Director 02:30 Working in HR, ESG and Corporate Services in Oil and Gas 08:30 Women, Work and the Quiet Burnout Nobody Talks About 13:30 How Companies Can Support Working Mothers Better 24:00 Why Women Should Ask About Company Culture Before Taking a Job 29:00 Gen Z, Millennials and Intergenerational Learning at Work 36:00 Women in Oil and Gas Leadership 46:00 Competence, Bias and the Reality of Workplace Promotions 52:00 Why Women Must Learn Likability Politics at Work 1:03:00 How Women Can Negotiate Better Pay and Promotions 1:22:00 Building a Personal Brand Inside a Corporate Job To keep the conversation going beyond this episode subscribe for more conversations on money, ambition, career growth, leadership and the realities of building a full life as a woman.
