BYE™ is a deeply personal development program designed and tailored for senior-level professionals working in civil society organizations, the Government, and the private sector. This bespoke develops value-driven, conscious and impactful leaders through coaching, leadership training, and mentorship.
The program is designed with the unique purpose of transforming a leader from ‘taking the lead’ to ‘leading with influence’ while maintaining a balance in all areas of their lives.
The program is keen on promoting excellence in leadership and strengthening the capacity of the top leaders, in setting and achieve strategic goals.
BYE™ welcomed the first pilot cohort of leaders in 2015, all of whom were drawn from Ford Foundation grantee organizations in Kenya. The Ford Foundation has further subsidized three classes (in 2017, 2018 and part of 2019) and supported the completion of the design of the various components that are key to the success of the Program. We are grateful for this support towards leaders in the region and encourage others to invest in talented people.
Over 100 leaders have been transformed through the program.
