3. Sterling Leadership Series
Education should not be a phase of life; it should be a way of life. Yet too often, we treat it as a box to tick, a chapter to close, or a certificate to frame.
The upcoming Sterling Leadership Series will challenge this thinking. Together with visionary leaders and bold thinkers, we’ll explore the future of learning, the failures of formal education, and the urgent need to bridge the widening gap between knowledge and relevance, competence over compliance, and creativity over conformity.
This is a call to reimagine how individuals, institutions, and nations prepare for the future, and to turn learning into a lifelong pursuit that fuels real change.

11. Building Beyond You Conference
The Building Beyond you conference brings the opportunity for management team members /High performing employees of founder led companies to be in this esteemed room .
Building Beyond You is a conference for African founders and entrepreneurs who are ready to evolve from being the engine of their business to building one that runs with or without them.
Whether you’re in the growth stage, where everything still depends on you, where your name drives the brand, your hands are in every operation, and the business slows when you take a break or in the maturity stage, where the business is stable but you’re now seeking to institutionalize your brand, this conference is for you.
This isn’t just for those looking to exit. It’s for entrepreneurs who want to build companies with backbone. With systems. With teams and operations that can function, grow, and scale without them in every room.
At this conference, you’ll learn how to:
• Build structures that reduce founder-reliance
• Design operations that empower your team
• Navigate business transitions with clarity
• Scale with sustainability and strategy
• Draw lessons from real-life examples like House of Tara’s evolution from founder-led to institution-led
This is not about stepping away. It’s about stepping up:
To leadership. To structure. To legacy.
To building a business that thrives BEYOND YOU.
