1. What have you found most challenging as a leader?

One of the most challenging things for me and for anyone that dares to lead is having the ability to work with different kind of people and different temperaments. Your ability to adjust to different attitudes and still keep composure makes it very difficult

2. How did you become a leader? Can you please briefly tell the story?

My story of leadership has not got a specific point but I just jumped into it because it was innate for me to feel to lead. Then it started from taking chances in risk and initiatives.

I learn from the scenarios and go again

3. How do you structure your work days from waking up to going to sleep?

Because am still a student, I use much of my time on studies

4. What's a recent leadership lesson you've learned for the first time or been reminded of?

It being patient but planning for the worst that could happen

5. What's one book that has had a profound impact on your leadership so far? Can you please briefly tell the story of how that book impacted your leadership?

For any book, I will say is the purpose driven life by Rick Warren. It influenced me in writing my book titled The Process on Amazon

6. If you could only give one piece of advice to a young leader, what would you say to them?

Sit down to plan.

Sit down to work and forget about talk

When I see the successful parts of my initiatives
