What does it really take to grow into the kind of leader who can carry greater responsibility and steward increasing levels of influence and power?What happens when a high-performing professional becomes responsible for the performance of other people?In this episode, Mrs. Yawa Hansen-Quao, Leadership Developer, Author, Executive Coach, and International Protocol Consultant, takes us beyond conventional ideas of leadership to examine the inner and outer disciplines that shape leaders over time.Yawa unpacks what she calls the Elevated Leadership Framework, exploring the internal and practical shifts leaders must make as their responsibility grows from individual performance to leading people, navigating power, making difficult decisions and driving results.She gets particularly candid about the leadership traps that hold professionals back:

• Why being the “nice boss” can undermine performance
• Why leaders must sometimes be willing to be disliked
• How insecurity creates micromanagement and drives away high performers
• Why successful people still struggle when they haven't mastered themselves
• How to Delete, Defer and Delegate before responsibility becomes overwhelm
• Why mentorship is less about asking for access and more about building credibility and trust
• Why self-awareness, situational awareness and forecasting is required to lead effectively

Yawa, who is also the Founder of Leading Ladies Network and Managing Director of HQ Consulting, brings together leadership, faith, personal development, professional excellence and hard-won experience to explore what it really takes to move from one level of leadership to another; because next-level leadership isn't about getting a bigger title but becoming a bigger leader. Drawing from her own transformational journey and experiences navigating identity, adversity, leadership, motherhood, and cross-cultural environments, she offers a practical and deeply reflective perspective on what it means to carry power well, read a room, build meaningful relationships, learn from others, and lead from a place of self-mastery rather than ego. At its core, the conversation asks a fundamental question: Who must you become to responsibly carry the level of influence you are praying and preparing for?

In this episode of the God as CEO Podcast, Mrs. Vera Sablah, a seasoned professional with 11 years of experience, shares her journey and insights as a "people servant" in the world of Human Resources. Currently serving as a Head of HR & ADMIN at Jobberman Ghana, Vera discusses recruitment, leadership, soft skills, employment and employer dichotomies.

Key Discussion Points:

1. Faith and Professionalism: As a person of faith, Vera explores the synergy between spirituality and work. She emphasizes that hard work is a tool for growth and that believers should see their employment as an opportunity to serve with excellence.

She stresses the importance of personal branding and warns that social media profiles, especially LinkedIn, are frequently the first point of contact for recruiters.

Mr. Ohene-Effah challenges the modern definition of success, introducing the concept of Self-Led Leadership, a framework that goes beyond professional competency to address the core identity and internal "operating system" of a leader.

He explains how to avoid winning the public battle while losing the private one by answering four foundational questions... ???

We Discuss:

• The Internal Operating System: Why basic skills (self-leadership) aren't enough if your identity is not grounded in a relationship with the Father.
• The Robert Dilts Model: A breakdown of the six levels that shape us — Environment, Behaviour, Capability, Belief/Values, Identity, and Spirit.
• Intentional Parenting vs. ATM Parenting: Why parents must move beyond being mere financial providers to become the primary trainers of their children's values and soft skills.
• Pointers to Purpose: Discover your specific individual assignment by identifying what makes you glad, mad, or sad.
• The Power of Mentorship: How standing on the shoulders of giants can "short-circuit" years of struggle in your professional and personal life.

Watch/Listen to learn how to stop living for social media likes and start living for your Divine assignment.

When the expression of faith is confined to church buildings and fails to shape the marketplace, leadership, and everyday life, what becomes of the faith?

In this far-reaching and deeply challenging first episode of the second season of the God as CEO Podcast, Dr. Yaw Perbi, a respected voice on faith and leadership, a corporate trainer, medical doctor, and a global missions advocate shares his personal journey from medical practice and UN missions to a lifelong calling of discipleship, leadership development, and marketplace transformation. He recounts the defining moments, including a near-fatal accident that reshaped his understanding of mission, calling, and what it truly means to serve God.

This conversation dismantles the false divide between sacred and secular, challenging the idea that ministry belongs only to the pulpit. Dr. Perbi submits that the boardroom is a pulpit, work is worship, and every believer is already ordained for mission, whether in medicine, business, government, education, or family life. He exposes the dangers of untransformed people trying to transform society and calls for intentional discipleship in homes, workplaces, churches, and institutions.

The episode closes with practical wisdom for business owners, leaders, and even parents on how to intentionally raise the next generation through mentorship, discipline, and everyday work because the future of nations depend on deeply transformed people.

This is a call to rethink faith, leadership, work, and mission and it starts with you.
