I had the  opportunity to speak to the phenomenal Taaka Owori, the CEO of Busara Africa. Leadership has always been the main critical factor for Africa's development. Taaka presents strong and interesting ideas on redefining leadership in Africa. This is a conversation that so inspired me, her passion and energy for Africa is amazing. 

Taaka  s a Leadership Trainer, Certified Coach, Facilitator, Speaker, and Organisational Development Specialist with over 20 years of experience working with civil society, the private sector, and various Government Agencies in East, West, Southern Africa, Europe, and the U.S.  She, therefore, combines an understanding of international best practice on leadership and organisational development with an appreciation of the diverse contexts in which these principles should be applied.  Taaka has worked with a wide range of clients such as the Open Society Foundation, Care, Greenpeace International, MTN, Newmont Corporation, Bank of Africa and the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre.

Taaka has a Bachelors in Degree in Political Science from Harvard University, Boston MA, and a Juris Doctorate in Law from Columbia University, NY, New York.  She also has a Certificate in Organisational Development from the Organisation Development Centre & the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland, the United States, and an Advanced Certificate in Coaching from the International Coaching Academy, Melbourne, Australia.
