A Personal Safari
The CEO Magazine - ANZ|December 2018

Can travelling to an awe-inspiring location such as the wilds of Africa bring about life-changing actions for business leaders and their organisations? Eighteen delegates joined Unstoppables Africa 2018 on a journey to discover the power of transformational travel.

A Personal Safari

In Swahili, the word safari translates to ‘journey’. In the literal sense of the word, it means travelling from one place to another; however, for the participants of Unstoppables Africa 2018, it also had a metaphorical meaning. Seven days in East Africa allowed each individual to go on a journey of the mind, where their thought processes were elevated and their consciousness expanded, allowing them to see the world, and their role in it, from a different perspective.

That was exactly what Unstoppables founder Julio De Laffitte had hoped for. In fact, upon arrival in Kenya on 24 September – and foreseeing the changes that each individual would experience along the journey – he had warned the delegates to not make any life-changing decisions within seven days of returning home. “Parts of you will die in Africa,” he said. “Leave them there.”

What would unfold over the next week was an intensive program of workshops, discussions and activities – all of which were designed to push attendees towards collaboration, encourage them to question the status quo, and give them the tools necessary to instigate change for a better tomorrow. Participants included early- and late-stage business entrepreneurs, directors and CEOs, and a handful of philanthropists from Australia and Brazil. They were of varying ages from a plethora of industries, and everyone had something different to share in terms of experience and insight.
