LEADERSHIP IN FOCUS AFRICA
Developing Africa’s
Next Generation of Transformational Leaders
Equipping leaders with clear strategies, strong character, and African-rooted execution to unlock global impact.
Who We Are
Leadership in Focus Africa (LIFA) is a global leadership development and advisory firm with its global office in Canada and an operational hub in Nigeria. We specialize in developing purpose-driven, high-performing leaders across Africa and globally by combining world-class leadership frameworks with deep cultural and contextual intelligence.
We work with individuals, organizations, governments, and institutions to strengthen leadership capability, improve decision-making, and build resilient, ethical, and future-ready leadership systems.
What We Do
Many African leaders are not held back by a lack of talent or ambition.
They are constrained by unclear expectations, fragile systems, and the pressure to deliver results without the structures or support to sustain them.
Leadership In Focus Africa helps reset the story: so what leaders believe, how they lead, and how their organizations operate are aligned in practice, not just in principle.
We deliver integrated leadership solutions across five core areas:
Corporate Values
Purpose-Driven Leadership
We believe leadership must be anchored in purpose. We help leaders align personal values, organizational goals, and societal impact to lead with meaning and intention.
Integrity and Ethical Excellence
We uphold the highest standards of honesty, accountability, and governance. Ethical leadership is non-negotiable and foundational to trust and long-term success.
Human-Centered Leadership
We recognize that leadership is fundamentally about people. Empathy, emotional intelligence inclusion and respect guide how we develop leaders and engage stakeholders.
Global Excellence, Local Relevance
We combine international best practices with deep cultural and contextual understanding to deliver leadership solutions that are both globally credible and locally effective.
Continous Growth and Learning
We champion lifelong learning, self-awareness, and adaptability—equipping leaders to grow, evolve, and lead effectively in a rapidly changing world.
Impact and Accountability
We focus on measurable outcomes and sustainable impact. Leadership development must translate into improved performance, stronger institutions, and positive societal change.
Strategic Pillars
The core focus areas guiding how we develop leaders, institutions, and impact.

Coaching and Talent Acceleration

Sustainable Impact and Thought Leadership
Drive research, insights, and leadership conversations that shape the future of leadership in Africa and beyond, contributing to policy, education, and institutional development.
Our Leadership Philosophy
At Leadership in Focus Africa, we believe leadership is not defined by title, but by influence,responsibility, and impact. We develop leaders who are self-aware, value-driven, culturally intelligent, and capable of navigating complexity with courage and clarity. Our work is grounded in the belief that strong leadership builds strong organizations, strong institutions, and strong societies.
