Safarini Leadership

Congratulations and huge thanks to our October 2024 cohort! Christopher Bolling, Amy N. Stiers, Karen DeCesare Doll, Psy.D., L.P., Kena J., Derek Humphries and Heidi Connal (PCC, NBC-HWC). They navigated herds of wild elephants and desert rivers, forming deep human connections that transcended cultural boundaries. There were many laughs, some tears, and relationships that will last a lifetime. Interconnectivity and a shared commitment to values and culture are the foundation of strong teams. How many of you can say that your teams are built this way? Do you feel deeply interconnected with those you lead? If not, this is your chance to witness the power of consistent values in action and the resilience that follows. It's an opportunity to connect on a profound human level and bring that sense of purpose back into your leadership practice. Discuss joining us for our 2025 June and September expeditions.

Naboisho – Coming Together I’m just back from what was the trip of a lifetime. In the bush of northern Kenya, supported by the team Safarini Leadership, surrounded by wild game, Amy N. Stiers, Kena J., Derek Humphries, Heidi Connal (PCC, NBC-HWC), Karen DeCesare Doll, Psy.D., L.P. joined together on an expedition that surely expanded each of our worldviews. Most significantly, we left the trip as brothers and sisters. No matter which corner of the world we came from, we left as a community. In Samburu (Maa is the language), naboisho means coming together. It is also expressed as “I am because We are.” Each day, traveling with our team and Samburu elders, we explored this concept and began to live it. Everything in the Samburu culture is in support of the community. They thrive together, suffer together, learn from each other, and grow together. Cultural values are unambiguous. Every Samburu in a community knows which role they’re playing and why. When hard times strike, Samburu communities meet them together. When decisions need to be made, the elders gather to discuss the issue and reach a consensus to move forward. I am because We are. There is much to learn from a culture that shows up wholeheartedly together. The Samburu leaders we trekked with each day were all from different communities and regions, yet they were unified in their messages and values. These values allow them to thrive as a generous and kind culture under conditions of scarcity. These values allow the hearts of strangers to bind so quickly and become one with a newly formed community. For me, the measure of success for this journey was how hard it was to say goodbye. Tears did flow, and my heart is already aching to return. This journey struck me to the core of my Being, and the spirit of northern Kenya and the Samburu will live in me forever.

🦅 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝑩𝒆𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒓 I'm always amazed by the way flocks of birds can synchronize their movements to soar in perfect formations. That's the power of group learning! 🧠 Studies show that learning with others can boost retention, increase creativity, and spark new ideas. I'm so grateful to Safarini Leadership for bringing together American, European, and Samburu leaders for cross-cultural experiences so we can all soar together! During afternoon workshops, we shared insights, challenged assumptions, and reached new heights. It's a beautiful ecosystem when each person contributes something unique to the whole. 🌱 #GroupLearning #LeadershipDevelopment #ExecutiveCoach
