It was a great honor to serve with the Global Leadership Forum team in Tanzania.  We’ve worked together as a team in both China and Cuba. More countries on the docket for 2026. This is a transcription from one of the presentations by Dave Sanders to university students in Tanzania. At the end of this transcription, I have a BONUS - Reflections on an additional conversation Dave and I had regarding AI and wisdom.  You may want to also catch my Morning Musings.

Jim & Martha Brangenberg, Founders of IWork4Him, invite me to do an interview on retirement. My instinct reply is, "No, I'm not your person!" When Jim asked why I the adamant reply, I said, "Because I don't believe retirement is Biblical!" He's response, "Danita, that's exactly the reason we want to talk with you!"

During our recent trip to Tanzania, I spoke at the Global Leadership Forum on two university campuses. Even though all four presenters had a slightly different focus for our presentations, we all spoke of the importance of character as a key differentiator. As we talked with the university students, they agreed that creating a Leadership Strategy today is not for the faint of heart. In a world of constant disruption and digital noise, leaders everywhere, including Tanzania, are asking: Will we lead AI or will AI enslave us? I believe the answer lies in another question every leader should ask, whether they are a university student or a seasoned business professional - How do I stay grounded, authentic, and influential when everything is changing so fast?
