The New Leadership Journey: Finding in Fulfilment in Life & Work with Ndidi Okezie
EPISODE 77 • SEASON 00:57:42
"It’s fascinating to think where life would have been if I had gone down that route. The thing that turned me away ended up being the very thing that changed the rest of my life”

Our experiences help us navigate life, through what we experience, what we turn down or what we walk towards. Yet, sometimes it doesn’t always work in our favour, which is where our instinct, our vision and our faith come into play.

In this week’s episode, Ndidi Okezie, CEO of UK Youth leads us on the path of finding fulfilment - and not the chasing kind, but the one that gets you up every morning. This in itself is something that people are looking for their whole life, but once you know how to find it….You’ll have a path to impact and success like never before.
