Goats and donkeys shied away from Victoria’s bellowing horn, which a former owner had taken from a freight truck and rigged under the hood. Pedestrians often laughed at the contrast between her voice and size. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffdc19553ad733f4163a796/941394b8-a5cd-4b84-99d8-486220962d8d/Screenshot+2026-03-16+at+4.23.40%E2%80%AFPM.png Reflections - Slippage After stopping in the middle of the road, some enterprising onlookers helped me lift the gas tank out and I saw that one of the bolts attaching the steering column to the drive shaft wheel had sheared away. Some small amount of slippage had, over the course of the last half- century or so, worn down the bolt until it could hold no more. One of the onlookers called his cousin, a taxi driver, who showed up 10 minutes later with a grimy grain sack full of nuts, bolts, gaskets, and other parts whose functions I could only guess. To my shock, he quickly found a bolt that fit Victoria. We reattached the steering column, and I was on my way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffdc19553ad733f4163a796/ce116913-2efd-4442-819d-a1d8cfebae52/IMG_3316+2.jpg Reflections - Slippage -

We seek to democratize leader development. Our audacious goal is to develop leaders – everyone, everywhere. No longer limited to the global top 1% or the C-suite, we are striving to make leadership development accessible, affordable, and scalable. Only by doing so will we solve some of the world’s most pressing issues. Our world is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. International conflict, food insecurity, climate change, economic fragility, and such wicked problems are growing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ffdc19553ad733f4163a796/ce884643-9d12-408e-9dda-9837c1199003/_DSC9968-37.jpg Our Story - In all these challenges and the rapid change that defines our era, humans are the only constant. People are the source of many of these issues, but they are also the solution. Leadership can be a lever to improve education outcomes, implement democratic elections, foster inclusive dialogue, bridge historic differences, catalyze development impact, and craft common culture. Individuals, groups, organizations, and societies can lead beyond their boundaries, overcome challenges, and enact positive change in the world.

Leadership development, dialogue and networking are often central to the programs designed and led by Shawn. He advocates that influencing and developing leaders is disproportionately important in fragile states where, by definition, key governance institutions are weak and challenges overwhelmingly complex, so the right leadership interventions represent massive opportunities for addressing root causes of conflict and state fragility. He has worked and lived in East Africa extensively for 30 years. In addition to the past 20 years representing the Forum of Federations, Shawn has worked for other aid agencies, consulting firms, UN agencies, and NGOs, in Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya, Yemen, Myanmar, and Iraq, among other countries. Mr Houlihan has been a Research Associate in the Faculty of Management at Dalhousie University, a Teaching Fellow at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, a Fellow of Roger Fisher’s Conflict Management Group and Associate at Universalia Management Group. In 2012 he was named a member of the Leadership Council at McGill University’s Institute for Studies in International Development, has been an associate of the Centre for Creative Leadership, and was a member of the Board of Directors, later Advisor to Board, of the Canadian Institute for Conflict Resolution (CICR) over 2018-2021.
