Leona, the executive brain whisperer talks about the useless corporate retreats and why we shouldn't normalise 'overworking'
What is the most common cognitive red flag you see in African organizations?
Burnout. These days we’ve normalized burnout because it shows you’re a hard worker. But burnout is very serious business that reduces your cognitive capacity. If your brain is constantly in burnout mode, it is constantly removing resources from your immune and digestive systems.
Your immunity becomes compromised, meaning any disease in your family line comes for you. You get constant headaches, abnormal bowel movements, and you go to the hospital but they check you and find nothing.
It is why most of our parents, after a certain age, get high blood pressure. It’s predictable. It’s normalized, but it is not normal.

Good job Alan, now reassure our Tourists that its is safe here, infact these 2 isolated incidents are very far away from our national parks..
Spent the day at the ICF Uganda Adaptive Change Coaching Summit, a convergence of leadership, coaching, and transformational thinking.
Inspired by the conversations around adaptive leadership, emotional intelligence, resilience, and the future of human-centered growth in Africa.
Honored to join the HER Executives Dinner for an important conversation on the mental health impact on workplace and business productivity.
Mental wellness is not a luxury in leadership , it is a strategic necessity.

If you cannot shoulder the weight of responsibility, whether as a leader, a politician, a businessperson, a man, or a woman, Power will either elude you or slip through your grasp, for it demands far more than the desire/ entitlement to possess it.
