Learning to Lead

About Learning to Lead

Leadership doesn’t start with a title. It shows up in everyday moments, in decisions, conversations, failures, and the growth we rarely talk about. I have been on this leadership journey for close to five years, and I have a lot to share. Learning to Lead is a podcast where I reflect on my experiences and the quiet lessons they teach about leadership. This space is for anyone leading, learning, or preparing to lead—at any stage, in any role, in any season. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

   In this part 2 of last week's episode, we are talking about the different kinds of people you need in your life and community as a young person navigating school, career, leadership, and adulthood.

   The relevance of choosing and building a community

   The people around you influence the way you think, the risks you take, the opportunities you see, and even the version of yourself you become. From mentors and accountability friends to people who challenge, support, and inspire you. Because sometimes, the difference between feeling stuck and growing is simply the environment and people surrounding you. Got a career dilemma or question?

    The University Blueprint

    This episode marks the beginning of a new series — The University Blueprint — where I share how young people can intentionally navigate university and build a strong foundation for their careers. I truly believe your career doesn’t start after university, it starts during it. And if you can position yourself even 60% right while in school, you give yourself a much easier path to success. This series is also a reflection of what I could have done differently, what I actually did, and how those experiences are shaping and helping me today. In this first episode, I share 4 practical things you should start doing early in your university journey to help you build the right mindset, make smarter decisions, and take advantage of opportunities most students overlook. If you know a young person in university right now, share this with them, it could genuinely change how they approach their journey. And if you’re a student trying to do things differently, this series is for you. Please share and leave me a rating below! Hosted on Acast.

    Knowing Your Season

    There was a time I thought I was behind. Watching people move faster, achieve more, and seem so certain about their paths made me question everything, my pace, my decisions, even my potential. But what I didn’t realize then was that I was trying to operate in a season I wasn’t in. In this episode, I reflect on what it means to truly understand the season you are in. whether it’s a season of learning, stretching, waiting, or building. I share moments from my journey where I felt pressure to rush growth, and how that almost led me to make the wrong decisions. Because not every season is for leading from the front. Some seasons are for learning quietly, observing deeply, and preparing intentionally. This episode is a reminder that your journey is not behind — it’s unfolding exactly where it needs to. The key is learning how to recognize your season and move with it, not against it. Don't forget to share and leave us a rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hosted on Acast.

    The old you out.. the New you IN

    What if the thing holding you back from your next level... is you? In this episode, I am getting real about something I have been sitting with. Not just the concept, but what it actually costs you to do it. The habits you have to break. The people you might lose. The season of solitude that no one warns you about. I am building in public this year, which means being honest about the old version of me that can't come with me into the new season.  And if you've been going through the same cycles, the same habits, the same routine,  this episode is for you. This is the work. Let's get into it. Please do not forget to follow, share and leave a rating! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
