The demand on today’s leaders is to be visible, personal, and relatable with a clear purpose and a focus beyond the company itself. The call for CEOs and executives to be not just present on the business side, but also to be accessible, real, and human on the public side is driving the need for what we call Engaged Leadership. 

Through the years, Edelman Africa has worked with CEOs and leaders from several corporations, NGOs, and academic institutions. Informed by this work, we have developed a global, experience-and relationship-driven approach to build engaged leadership. 

We can develop a platform and core content for executives that is authentic, personal, purpose-driven, and interwoven with an organisation’s expertise, global reach, brand identity, and external communications activities. 

Leveraging our knowledge of conferences, elite media, employee and influencer engagement best practices, Edelman Africa prepares executives for engagement opportunities – from speaking appearances to interviews, employee town halls, or stakeholder meetings. 

We provide customised, individualised media and presentation training (localised to the relevant African market), along with leadership coaching. We can secure speaking, elite media, digital, and direct-to-influencer opportunities that allow the full bench of executives and experts to advance their story with critical stakeholders.
