Be Big, Be Bold Learning Theme

This year’s theme is ‘Be Big Be Bold,’ resonating with the values of EO. As learning chair, I am curating learning experiences which resonate with this value. I am passionate about businesses and entrepreneurs who want to scale and what it takes to push the boundaries. I also believe that as Kenyans, we have great businesses - so what slows us down? Am I the right person for this job? How am I making an impact as a leader? What is my leadership type? What’s my purpose? How do I think about the next gen or taking over from the first gen? What’s my vision for family business? What keeps me going?

To help with these questions, we have terrific speakers, workshops and networking events planned online and in person. I am excited to be sharing this

Message from Learning Chair Nihal Shah
