In this episode, Roxanne chats with Pastor and Keynote Speaker, Dan Owolabi. They delve into servant leadership, its importance, and application in both corporate and non-corporate relationships. Dan shares his transition story, discusses respect in leadership, and explores the dynamics of parenting and leadership. They also touch on employee retention and Dan's international nonprofit work.

Becoming a great leader is no easy task and there has never been a more important time to understand this fast paced, global economy. Companies operating in the same style and pace as before are a great disadvantage. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Serving Leadership Expert, Dan Owolabi.

Dan has always believed that Authentic Leaders are servants first. That’s why he has made it his mission to help others achieve exceptional results by leading from a mindset of serving.

Drawing upon his talent for storytelling and his passion for connecting with others, Dan has spent the past 15 years working to empower those around him. For nearly a decade, he served as a public-school teacher and pastor in Northeast Ohio. The work, while demanding, was incredibly rewarding—so in 2017, Dan decided to take his passion for developing leaders to a wider audience.

By guiding them to build stronger relationships, he has been able to share his fiercely held principle that leadership isn’t a status you get, but a service you give.

I encourage you to reach out at any time with thoughts or questions.
