In the latest Nuts and Bolts episode of Leadership in Africa Redefined, Taaka Awori sits with Dr. Gillian Hammah to explore the internal dialogues that shape leadership. It's fascinating how specific mental patterns show up as real workplace challenges.

For example:
* ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐‚๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ฅ ๐•๐จ๐ข๐œ๐ž ("You haven't done enough"), often fuels overcompensation and burnout.
* ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐…๐ž๐š๐ซ๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐•๐จ๐ข๐œ๐ž ("What if it all falls apart?"), can lead to crippling indecision.
* ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐•๐จ๐ข๐œ๐ž ("They are so much better than me"), is a classic driver of imposter syndrome.

They also discussed the "poverty mentality" voice, which convinces leaders they don't deserve their success, and the fear of being outshined, which can cause leaders to stifle their team's growth. Recognising which voice is speaking is the first step toward more effective leadership. New episode is live on all podcast platforms.

Leadership will test you.

Someone questions your work.
You feel misunderstood.
A comment hits a nerve.
Youโ€™re frustrated, angry, or disappointed.

And in those moments, what happens inside you can shape what happens next.

In Episode 4 of Leadership in Africa Redefined, Uju Vanstasia Rochas-Anwukah, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Health and Focal Person on Nutrition in the Office of the Vice President of Nigeria, joins Taaka Awori for a conversation on The Power of the Pause in Leadership.

We talk about staying grounded in your purpose, examining the evidence, learning from difficult moments, and creating space between what we feel and how we respond.

Because pausing isn't weakness.

Sometimes, the pause is where your leadership happens.

๐ŸŽง Listen to Episode 4 on all podcast platform and join the conversation.

๐Ÿ’ฌ What has pausing before you respond taught you about yourself as a leader?

Has anyone ever given you feedback, and instead of listening, you spent the whole time building your case for why they were wrong?

In this Nuts and Bolts episode of the Leadership in Africa Redefined Podcast, Taaka Awori is joined by Daniel Kwame Pobee, a seasoned leadership development practitioner, for a conversation about one of the quiet forces shaping leadership from the inside: ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ž๐ ๐จ. Not ego as the enemy, but ego unchecked.

Daniel and Taaka share real moments from their work with boards, teams, and organisations across the continent.

They talk about what it actually looks like when ego takes over and offer practical tips for catching it before it drives your next decision.

This is an invitation to notice. Where does your ego show up? And what is it protecting you from?

"Before your next leadership decision, ask yourself: "๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐š๐ฆ ๐ˆ ๐›๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ง๐จ๐ฐ?"

Every leader has an inner narrative. Some believe "I have to have all the answers."" Others believe: ""If I slow down, I'll fall behind." Or: "My value comes from what I produce."" These stories don't just live in our minds. They shape our leadership.

In Episode 2 of Leadership in Africa Redefined Season 4, host Taaka Awori speaks with Xoli Fuyani, founder and Executive Director of Black Girls Rising, a youth-led movement working at the intersection of climate justice, gender, and leadership across Africa. Together, they explore how the stories we tell ourselves about worthiness, strength, success, and emotion shape our leadership, and what becomes possible when we start telling new stories. Because sometimes the story that needs changing isn't the one happening around you. It's the one happening within you.
In this episode, youโ€™ll hear:
- The story of โ€œI am only worthy when Iโ€™m producingโ€
- The story of the strong African woman
- The stories we hold about others, and how they limit our leadership
- Stillness as the space where new stories emerge
This episode is for you if:
* You sense that the way you work and lead is being driven by old stories you never consciously chose
* You feel the pressure to overperform, hold everything together, or hide your emotions as a leader
* You want to explore more embodied, honest, and grounded ways of leading, starting with the stories you tell yourself.

Why this course? Rogue Leadership is a hands-on course + community for people who want to lead from the inside out with more clarity, agency, emotional resilience, integrity and purpose. This isnโ€™t just a course you take and leave behind, itโ€™s a space to reflect, practice, connect, and grow with others who understand the realities of leading in complex social change work.

Whether you're a new manager finding your footing, a seasoned leader ready to go deeper, or someone who knows they're meant to lead but hasn't quite stepped into it yet, this is for you.

โœจ *Launch offer* โœจ
To celebrate the launch, f๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ง๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ 72 ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ, ๐ฐ๐žโ€™๐ซ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐  10% ๐จ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ when you enroll. Just use the code ๐‘๐Ž๐†๐”๐„๐‹๐„๐€๐ƒ๐„๐‘๐’๐‡๐ˆ๐ at checkout

What if your biggest leadership challenge isnโ€™t your team but the voice in your head that questions whether youโ€™re good enough?

What if your desire to delegate keeps getting pulled back by a need for perfection?

What if your exhaustion isnโ€™t just about long hours but the effort of holding it all together while uncertainty swirls around you?

If this resonates, join Taaka Awori tomorrow, March 25th 2026 at 1pm GMT, for a conversation on the inner work of leadership.

It will be a space to explore how we can lead with more confidence, alignment, and ease.
