Human-Centered Leadership: Transforming Talent, Building Economies
This is not just another leadership event. It’s a global gathering of change architects.
In boardrooms, communities, startups, ministries, and institutions across Africa, a new kind of leadership is rising—one that doesn’t just manage people, but transforms talent into vision, impact, and excellence.
At Visionary Leadership Conference 2025, we’re gathering Africa’s boldest, brightest, and most human-centered leaders for a two-day experience of inspiration, mentorship, and meaningful connection. For the third year in a row, we are elevating the conversations that leaders must have in order to develop next-level competences for driving possibilities in any context.
Whether you’re an emerging leader hungry for growth, or an established force shaping systems—this is your room. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, career professional, spiritual leader, influential voice or young purpose-driven individual, VLC 2025 holds great value for you.
In a world shifting rapidly, leadership must do more than deliver results—it must cultivate people. This year’s theme celebrates those who don’t just lead teams—they motivate people, manifest purpose, and multiply potential.
Join hundreds of leaders across sectors who are building organizations and leading teams where people don’t burn out—they burn bright.

Welcome to Visionary Leadership Conference 2025!
I had never heard about most of the knowledge and insights shared at the Conference, before VLC2024. They were truly mind-blowing and mind-shifting. I am spurred on to do my best work wherever I find myself to be resilient in my pursuit of greatness. I also received personal instructions and I am applying the things I learned already. I believe I will have a radical shift three years from 2024 if Christ tarries.
The Visionary Leadership Conference 2024 was really what I needed to propel me to my next. Every session was inspiring and thought-provoking for me.
Thank you, DDK and the entire IMMERSE team for organizing this Conference. I felt so much push from the inside and I hope to share my testimony after getting results.
VLC 2024 was a truly enlightening and mind-stretching experience. The discussions and insights from the Speakers and panelists ignited my passion for driving meaningful change within my sphere of influence. I gained valuable tools and strategies for fostering innovation and building a lasting legacy in my journey of becoming. The Conference not only broadened my perspective but also reinforced my commitment to being a Champion of Change! I left feeling inspired and equipped to make a real difference.
FD’s analogy of the seedless grape has stayed with me. His statement, ‘We don’t start businesses to make ends meet,’ has shifted my perspective on business and solutions.
I’ve learned to give back to institutions that shaped me and to build people up rather than use them. VLC 2023 was extremely insightful, and I’m grateful to GDDK and the IMMERSE Coaching Company for organizing this empowering event for visionary leaders.
I came to VLC 2023 with the expectation to know my strengths and my gaps in Visionary Leadership and VLC 2023 answered my questions and gave me so many rich insights on how to be a Visionary Leader who executes rapidly.
One of my key takeaways is, that a leader is not a celebrity. My goal as a leader is to create value and solve problems, not become a celebrity.
Another key takeaway is to work more with my head on the business, and not with my hands.
Also, leadership is about legacy, passing on the baton (seed) of being a visionary from one generation to the next.
VLC 2023 was so good, too good! And I’m immensely grateful to IMMERSE Coaching Company for putting this together and especially grateful to General DDK for giving me the scholarship to attend this life-changing conference.
VLC 2023 has shifted my mindset from blame to taking personal responsibility. I now understand that I am responsible for my outcomes. This realization has motivated me to pursue certifications like CISSP and DICS to better serve my Tribe. Thank you, PDDK and Team, for this amazing opportunity, for pulling me from darkness into the place God has ordained for me. I love this journey, no turning back!
Attending VLC 2023 was transformative. The powerful insights, like ‘Anyone can disbelieve; you have to be a partner with God,’ resonated deeply. Embracing the notion that the only permission I need is God’s was a game-changer. The idea that vision is about today’s determination, not just future desires, ignited a new sense of purpose. The visionary analogies of the telescope, camera, map, and books provided practical tools for personal growth. Understanding the five stages of the visionary journey has given me a roadmap to navigate challenges and seize opportunities. Thank you!
The conference was mind-blowing; every session was impactful and inspiring. I particularly loved Sir Fela Durotoye’s session, which sparked a thought-provoking conversation on legacy leadership, societal contributions, and solving generational problems. Mrs. Temilola and Dr. Niyi Borire’s sessions were equally powerful, with realness, vulnerability, and genuine counsel. Dr. Niyi explained the neuroscience of leadership, while Mrs. Temilola shared her business scaling strategies and the mindset for legacy leadership. Coach DDK’s wisdom on self-governance and legacy leadership was invaluable. I have so much to unpack and am eagerly awaiting the session replays.
Attending in person was truly a gift, and the energy in the room, filled with like-minded men and women, was just what I needed to kickstart the conference. My biggest takeaway on the first day was from the Masterclass with Mr. Deji Kurunmi. It was eye-opening, even though we couldn’t finish, it transformed my understanding of the role of culture in every institution. DDK reinforced this on Day 2, emphasizing the need for custodians of the RIGHT culture to stand firm. The insights and hope Pastor Ituah shared were essential, making it clear that the greatness we seek for our nation is possible, but it requires our commitment. Every speaker was a hit, and the networking game showed me that networking is not just about what I need but also what I can offer. Thank you, VLC 2023
