In many African communities, leadership has traditionally been linked to power, control, and silence, particularly among men.

In this impactful episode, Dr. Ikechukwu Okoh challenges conventional models of male leadership and explores a more human-centred approach that emphasises connection.

Drawing on his experiences in healthcare, coaching, and community leadership, he unpacks the myths that African men are taught about leadership and discusses how they can be unlearned.

You will learn about:

- Why vulnerability and empathy are strengths, not weaknesses

- How colonial and cultural systems have shaped our perceptions of male authority

- What authentic "fireplace leadership" looks like in practice

- How to improve your leadership skills, whether as a father, founder, or professional

This is not a criticism but an invitation to lead with presence rather than pride.
