All award recipients are invited to the IAOTP's Annual Awards Gala at the end of this year where they will be honored for their achievements: www.iaotp.com/award-gala.

Specializing in business communication, she now enhances the communication abilities of professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders to increase their influence, accelerate their careers, and boost business outcomes.

Additionally, her articles have appeared in The Case Centre (UK), BizCatalyst 360, Enterprising Africa Magazine, and BusinessDay Nigeria.

In 2021, the University of Leicester featured Lucille’s book and highlighted her work in their alumni #CitizensOfChange initiative. In 2020, the London School of Economics & Political Science named her 'Alum of the Month' for her profile and impact.
