🚨 New Season Alert! 🚨

Our latest season is here, and we’re diving deep into a critical conversation: Why Leadership Training is Broken—And Why We Need to Fix It.

Too often, leadership development programs in Africa rely on Western models that don’t fully reflect the continent’s realities. While traditional training methods have their merits, they often fail to address Africa’s unique challenges and opportunities. Our expert Taaka, Gillian and Robert highlight the urgent need for Africentric leadership models, moving beyond one-size-fits-all approaches that don’t resonate locally.

In this episode, we explore:
✅ Why leadership training in Africa needs a major overhaul
✅ The power of African-led leadership models
✅ How to embed social and political consciousness into leadership development

To build leaders who drive real impact, we must rethink, reframe, and rebuild leadership training—from the ground up. This isn’t just an African issue; it’s a global conversation about the future of leadership.

Join the conversation. Listen now and be part of the change!
