His story is amazing.

His impact is amazing.

I consider myself blessed to have been able to have such a great conversation with him.

This is Part 1 of 2 of this interview. Take a listen and learn the:

• Pivotal moments in his development as a leader and as a person and how he has built a strong sense of belonging.

• The importance of not declining a friend’s invitation to see how they pray and where they worship even if they have a different faith or background.

• Distinctives of indigenous approach in leadership as being the value of truth and humility.

• Perception of leadership as people stepping forward as well as people stepping back.

• Role that hope plays in communities and how can leaders navigate through tough times.

• Impact his teacher had on him realizing his full potential. 

And so much more….
