3rd Mentoring Future Leaders with Dr. Vimal Shah
Date: Saturday 2nd December 2017 (event closed)
Location: Bidco Africa, Thika Town
Target: Upper Primary, High School & College Youth
What is leadership, and why should youth bother with this?
A simple leadership definition is the art of motivating people to act towards achieving a vision or goal through impacting and inspiring others. Ideas are communicated in a manner that engages listeners and motivates them to act, as the leader inspires and directs actions based on his/her combined personality and leadership skills.
Youth need to learn how to personally lead themselves before leading others. This seminar provides an opportunity to learn from Dr. Vimal Shah, a celebrated and effective Business Leader, who has demonstrated this in BIDCO Africa's organisational performance and results; from higher management, stakeholder satisfaction and bottom line profit.

The previous "Mentoring Future Leaders" event was held on 13th August 2016. A testimonial from a previous participant is as below
Dear sir,
I am a student at Kenyatta university, pursuing a degree in bachelor of arts (gender and development studies).
I would also like to express my deepest appreciation to you for the invitation to one of your seminars. It was a wake up call for me from my comfort zone. I learnt a lot from the talks, not only were they an inspiration but also a correction of my past mistakes.
The day was a success to me especially since I learned how to brand myself and how to handle challenges. Being part of a group with the same mindset i got challenged to set higher goals.
The seminar also provided a platform of networking to me. I am very grateful for the initiative AKAD has taken to mentor and expose us as youths. It is not a waste of time rather it is a value addition to the future leaders. I look forward to invitations in such forums and seminars.
Yours Truly, Juliet .
