Why must we give younger generations space to dare to step out and step up?

“Courageous leadership” is emerging as a key theme in our strategy renewal process; also “Next Generations Leadership”. We’re very fortunate to have worked with many courageous leaders, including through a women’s led marketing initiative and NGOs in The Gambia. Currently, Isatou (Ceesay) and Baai (Jaabang), Directors of NGOs that we collaborate with, are undertaking research about the impact of what we have been involved with in recent years.

One courageous and remarkable leader, living in The Gambia, is Oley Dibba Wadda (pictured below). Click here to read a recent article in which she states: “The women leaders of today must arrive and deliver in full force: we must pave the way in challenging the status quo to give younger generations space to dare to step out and step up; it is impossible to have dialogue about the future without the participation of those who will live it.”

Coaching and mentoring can help accelerate the development of all of us as leaders. This often includes the development of confidence and self-esteem so that we can become more courageous in our approach and actions. Iain (Patton), hand in hand with others, such as Sharon (Turnbull), has been strengthening our approach to coaching and mentoring. Click here to find out more.

Thank you! We appreciate the various Advisors that provide excellent coaching and mentoring to the people we work with, such as Denise (Mulligan). Please get in touch with us if you would like to learn more.

Oley Dibba-Wadda quote: “my life is to give and share all that I am, and all that I have, to humankind: I get my inspiration from the longing for love; the search for knowledge; gratitude for all that I am and compassion for the living - this is my life.”

Have a great week!
