Will he switch careers in the future? “Not
really,” he replies, “I think that facilitation
will always be something that’s very
close to me.” I have to say, I didn’t see
that coming. “In a long-term, I’d like to
run leadership development training
programs and coaching.”
We are talking about leadership and
transformation, but I’m curious to know
where he sees himself in 25 years. After
thinking about it, he says “I plan to
build institutions that are focused on
transforming society and helping people
develop. I’m not sure yet about how they
would look.
I would like to work as an advisor or
leadership consultant primarily in Africa
helping organizations develop their
leaders and skills. I always see myself
in a space where I’m training people to
become better.”
He’s doing the right thing, in the right
place, at the right time. But what makes
ALU so special for him? He says, “I love,
and I often have to pinch myself about
being at the helm of a transforming
institution, something that’s making a big
difference in Africa. I just look up and
say, ‘Wow! It’s crazy what we’re trying
to do’. If I joined three years from now,
it wouldn’t have been like this.” Katleho
puts his two cents in to “live fully and be
present every day. I often think in life we
are absent; either we are too far in the past
or we live too far in the future.”
Wait a minute, who is Katleho Mohono?
He is a “human being on a journey: one
who is passionate about helping others on
their journeys.”
