Facing Mountains | Jacqueline Asiimwe on Leadership, Resilience and the Stories We Carry

What can climbing a mountain teach us about navigating life's most difficult terrain?

In Episode 25 of the Meet Your Author podcast, CivSource Africa CEO Jacqueline Asiimwe Mwesige joins host Racheal Kizza, a GROW Leadership Programme Cohort 2 alumna, to reflect on her memoir, Facing Mountains. Their conversation explores resilience, the influence of family, the lessons of mountain climbing and how personal experiences can inform purposeful leadership.

An engaging encounter between two members of the wider GROW community, the episode invites listeners to consider the mountains that shape us and the wisdom we carry forward.
