Camp experience

It never crossed my mind that I will go camping in my mid 20nties, I have never camped before and this was an opportunity I couldn't miss. 

I have heard interesting stories about camping but this one I had to witness it for myself.


Defining the camp experience 
The camp had a unique surrounding with tall trees and monkeys chirping around, the best place for social, emotional and physical balance. 
Getting to know each other, playing games and interacting with mother nature made this camp exciting, intriguing and full of fun.

Activities at the camp 

We quickly kicked off by presenting our social Entrepreneur Businesses, then a session on social entrepreneurship by Dr Poul Moturi, this opened our minds deeper to understand how to anchor the problem we had chosen to work on as a squad, 
At this point, a quick cup of tea was really necessary, before getting back to the Design thinking session and ways of pitching by MR. Emanuel Nandokha.

Most importantly, Mr Emanuel Nandokha helped us rethink constructively on our project in areas that we had not clearly defined coming up with a more lively and significant project. After which we had a lunch break and later in the evening a wonderfully fun activity. 
Exciting team building activities by Jake, cohort Phoenix. 

My squad( the swans)prepared supper, while other squads cleaned and prepared for the born fire. ( the highlight of the day)
Interesting games and conversations through the night, laughter and chattering were the norms, it was a night of a kind.

We welcomed a new day sleeping only for a few hours, 
After breakfast prepared by squad iconic, we joined for another effective session of unmasking yourselves. Showing the true you and not hiding behind the masks of smiles, cynical jokes, and pleasing others, in that people don't get to see you for who you are. 
Understand yourself and define what you are filling. 
Unmasking session by coach Lenny. 

We later enjoyed the amazing grace puzzle-solving activity. 
It was rewarding after completing in the end, we enjoyed our lunch and celebrated those who stood out in self-leadership during the camp, we concluded and left the camp. 

Conclusion 
If you want to go fast, go alone. if you want to go far, go together.

REBIRTH

One of the most remarkable occurrence to understand what rebirth is, we take a deep dive into the life of eagles, after 40 years they have to seclude themselves deep into the mountains to shed off their beaks, talons and feathers, this is a very painful process but to survive the next 30 years, they have to beat themselves against the wall until they shed off or they become extinct. After this process, they come out, fierce, much stronger in hunting, light in weight and dominant. The world we are living  in today is very volatile, with Technology, emerging  economics, sustainability concerns and social change being the leading cause of change-makers, as a young generation of leaders  we must be ready for these changes and be the change-makers, These changes need to start with us letting go of the old mindset and habits and stepping into the new, carrying the load of child-like mentality and sticking with the old norms will not get us even close to this change-ma

"Igniting prowess🔥"

"Sometimes in life, all it takes is that one opportunity to change everything,  that was the case for me when I was introduced to lapid leaders Africa by a friend who had gone through the program. She could not stop talking about how transformative the experience was and how it helped her gain clarity about her career goals and develop essential leadership skills. At this time I was stuck in my career and was unsure of what steps to take. This captured my attention and I had to see for myself what they had to offer.  I took a leap of faith and joined the program, and the experience was imaginable, I got to connect with very knowledgeable mentors, they provided me with guidance and support and helped me discover my passion and identify my strengths and weaknesses. They also helped me to develop leadership skill which has been valuable in my personal and professional life. One thing I appreciate most in this program is the emphasis on community building, I was able to connect with l
