LeadLife Centres · The Movement
Don’t Just Learn Leadership. Live It.
LeadLife is a community where emerging leaders grow in purpose, character, competence and influence through learning, relationships, service, spiritual formation and real leadership responsibility.
Grow in light. Spread light.
What is LeadLife
Leadership Is Better Lived Together.
LeadLife is the movement expression of Yakah’s Leadership Development Initiative.
While Yakah’s Leadership Academy provides the structured system for leadership education, LeadLife provides the community where that development is lived.
Here, emerging leaders do not simply attend programmes. They belong to a community, take responsibility, serve others, develop relationships, practise leadership and grow together.
