Free · Weekly · Practical
One leadership insight, every week. Real stories, practical tools, and honest guidance for new and emerging leaders.
Most leadership content is either too theoretical to apply or too generic to be useful. The Leadership Lens is different. Every issue is built around one specific, practical "how to" — something you can use the same week you read it.
Written by Funke Olaonipekun, founder of Leadership Lens Academy, from real experience leading in business, church, and community contexts across the UK and beyond.
What you get every week
One practical "how to"
A specific leadership skill broken down clearly — how to give feedback, how to make decisions, how to have hard conversations.
A real leadership story
From Funke's own experience or from leaders she has worked with — honest, specific, and human.
One action to take this week
Every issue ends with one thing you can do before the next issue arrives. Because reading is not the same as leading.
Occasionally — faith and leadership
Where leadership and faith intersect — servant leadership, purpose, and leading from a place of genuine care.
