Overview

“Stroytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world”

 

In this day and age, traditional leadership styles are no longer relevant or productive. With the recent Covid-19 pandemic, that allowed people to re-evaluate what is important to them, it has never been more important to act as a people-centered leader.

 

The Leadership Safari draws from John's previous life in Zimbabwe and his passion for wildlife. With the setting of an enthralling adventure in a safari, John weaves through African animal fables using his unique experiential storytelling to explore the human skills of leadership. Each fable is masterfully designed to flow into a workshop-style masterclass that explores and teaches the practical application of relevant leadership skills through reak-life anecdotes and examples, excuses, case studies, and role plays.
