OUR STORY
Every idea starts with something unusual. Our story was inspired by Mr. Moses Baffour Awuah, who as a student of Central University, Ghana saw the benefit he had from mentoring relationships and organized a group of high school leavers to teach them about leadership and mentorship. As with any other idea, this has evolved to become a global leadership conference.
