Lapid Leaders Africa provides world-class leadership and entrepreneurship training outstanding young adults in Africa. Our flagship program, the Lapid Leaders Experience, is a world-class 3.5 month leadership training program for the next generation of African Leaders, Innovators, and Entrepreneurs. Lapid Leaders Africa has a community of over 100 young outstanding leaders and entrepreneurs from different universities across Kenya who are working on being solution providers and change agents at the marketplace.
How we deliver the Lapid Leaders Experience The Lapid Leaders Experience is designed to educate and raise outstanding young adults who are making a big positive impact in the Continent. The curriculum has been built for next generation of African leaders and entrepreneurs who are dedicated to creating a future that is radically better than the present to their communities. We focus on three pillars:
Lead Self – The ‘Lead Self’ pillar focuses on building the level of self-awareness of the graduates. This pillar emphasizes on personal leadership by enabling the students develop a deep self-awareness of their own strengths, weaknesses, and even identity, coupled with an understanding of their personal values and the impact of values on leadership.
Lead Marketplace – The ‘Lead Marketplace’ pillar equips the graduates with the 21st century skills and attitudes that they need in order to be work-ready. This pillar utilizes project-based learning to explore and entrench these skills to the graduates. The students tackle difficult interpersonal issues, ranging from understanding how to communicate with each other more effectively, to developing an entrepreneurial mindset, to solving real-life marketplace problems in a series of “Leadership Labs”, which culminate in an all-day competition known as the “Projects Challenge.” Lead Africa – The ‘Lead Africa’ pillar focuses on exposing the graduates to experiences that enable the graduates develop a Pan-African mindset that is `driven towards being solution providers to the challenges that Africa faces. As part of this, the students take part in Community Service and / or a visit to a country in the region. The pillar develops the student’s ability to think creatively and to develop new solutions to old problems

Winnie Mandela “My Lapid Leaders Experience has been a journey of a lot of learning and growth. For starters, I finally understood that there is success beyond failure. For a long time, I struggled with dealing with failure, which hindered me from achieving different goals and led to missing out on opportunities.” Cohort 3 Graduate and now the Founder, Tuelimike Initiative
Rose Mburu “As part of the Lapid Leaders Experience, reflection has become a daily practice. I not only reflect but I deeply reflect, and I pray more. The experience has been challenging; however, I welcomed the challenges and really enjoying the bumpy road. I am discovered myself more, and took up new tasks and ventured into new uncomfortable territories.” Cohort 3 Graduate and now an Associate at KPMG
Steve Nderitu “Before the Lapid Leaders Experience, I was a loner or a sole player. I was a perfectionist and found myself stuck in tasks because of the burn out of working alone. By being the Cohort 3 Community Service Leader, I learned that team work is very vital in our daily lives as it not only eases and shares responsibilities, but also compliments us as leaders.” Cohort 2 Graduate and now the Founder, Legit Music
Paul Nga'nga “The Lead Facilitator of the program, Esther Mwaniki, posted a job in our WhatsApp group. The CEO of Riza Events had trained us during the program, and since she was now recruiting, she had asked Esther to refer a few Lapid Leaders to the job. I decided to apply for the job. It took a while before we could conclude the recruitment process, but eventually I was hired.” Cohort 2 Graduate and now a Marketing Assistant at Riza Events
The exposure I got saw me gain a lot of confidence in myself, my abilities and to be adventurous in a sense; I dread being in my comfort zone. There's also all this stuff that we learn in 'self-improvement' books, articles, blogs etc. that we never get to practice and I got to learn these and more in an experiential setting and built some kind of mental muscle memory which I use when approaching life after. Duncan Muturi Cohort 3 Graduate
Carol Gathungu Cohort 3 Graduate and Accountant Kirinyaga University Going through the one on one coaching was one of my best moments of the Lapid Experience. It is through this session that I got to learn new things about myself but most importantly, I was able to define my purpose and refine my personal vision.
