Abelinis Limited, a forward tech-driven experiential marketing company, recently hosted the second edition of WITFLIX, an experiential learning initiative, at the Kunle Afolayan Production Cinema. The event brought together industry practitioners, undergraduates, students, and young professionals for a screening of Kunle Afolayan’s “October 1” and a high-impact leadership conversation.

The film, which explores themes of history, conflict, culture, and national identity, served as the backdrop for a powerful discussion on leadership, communication, and conflict navigation. Industry leaders Mrs. Victoria Adewunmi and Mr. Kingsley James shared insights on how the film mirrors real-life leadership challenges, emphasizing the importance of clarity, courage, and strong values in navigating difficult situations.

The conversation also touched on the role of emotional awareness, bias, and personal trauma in shaping reactions and decision-making. The facilitators encouraged attendees to become more emotionally aware, communicate thoughtfully, and handle power dynamics responsibly. They emphasized that personal growth and self-awareness are the foundations of leadership, and encouraged continuous self-reflection as a pathway to becoming more intentional and influential leaders.

The event featured interactive moments, including a photobooth experience, puzzle and word games, networking sessions, and live interview recordings. Many attendees reported that the experience broadened their understanding of leadership, enhanced their communication skills, and inspired them to pursue personal growth.

Abelinis Limited extended its appreciation to partners Malta Guinness, Ritemate, EXMAN, and the Brand Experience Summit for their support in shaping a meaningful experience for the next generation. The WITFLIX initiative continues to set a standard for experiential education rooted in creativity, reflection, and real-life relevance.
