Everything we do inspires ingenuity
Welcome to Dr Mezie Okolo Leadership Academy
Dr Mezie Okolo Leadership Academy is a passion driven initiative born in August 2023 as a child of necessity. For some decades, the call to minister in the leadership space has been apparent. Since the days of pharmacy school, Dr Okolo was involved in leadership with the Anglican Students Fellowship, Nigeria. He considers those the days of seed sowing. The pursuit and the making of what you would consider traditional career got in the way of what is obviously an area of gifting and anointing.
Over the years Dr Okolo has written a few books, numerous pieces, commentaries, poems, and quotes on different social media platforms and now the time has come to take the business of leadership seriously especially in the area of consultancy, mentorship, coaching, seminars and conferences. The world is in dire need of leaders who would release themselves to God and His kingdom. As agents of change, we must model change, lead change and manage change that will birth the next generation of global leaders.
Please take time to familiarize yourself with the website and follow us on social media for daily leadership and wisdom nuggets. Let us know how we can help your church, your profit or non-profit organization, as you face leadership challenges. We have the skills, but more importantly grace to make a difference in that space. Our credentials and track record speak to the preparations that went into what we now do. We hope that you find the answers to the questions you have as you navigate the pages of this site, and as you speak to us directly if need be. Blessings!
