What happens when a girl from the slums dares to dream?
She bags an engineering degree, a master’s degree from Warwick Business School in the UK, and an executive education from both Harvard Business School and Yale School of Management. She becomes a leader in the telecommunications industry. She mentors other girls and women to do the same.
In Be Fearless: Give Yourself Permission To Be You, Jane Egerton-Idehen draws from her more than 15 years of experience as a telecommunication executive in West Africa to help women build lasting careers, especially in the male-dominated STEM industries.
From rising from the slums of Ajegunle in Lagos, Nigeria, to brokering million-dollar deals for global telecom giants, hers is a story of hope, of challenging traditional gender roles, and of embracing who you are.
This is a book about women for women, as well as the men who love, nurture, support, and work with them at home and in the office.

Organizations that mentor ladies professionally and in business are few and upcoming in Nigeria. But there are even fewer books on the subject. To this feat, we would like to thank Jane-Egerton for her book. It is one thing to mentor aspiring professional young ladies in seminars, but quite another to document one’s journey and learnings in a book. Needless to say, this book is inspirational as Jane chronicles her journey from the slum to where she is today. The importance of family in the pursuit of a professional career. Her fears, ambitions and choices will resonate with most professional women. Whether you are just starting out or are almost ending your career, it is worth your while to read your copy, and possibly get copies for others. If only someone had told us … but now Jane has! It is time to “Be Fearless”
