Welcome back to the Think BIG for Africa Podcast. In today’s episode, my guest Helen Emore (Ph.D.). Helen is an Entrepreneur, a Business Development Consultant, and a Lecturer at the Pan Atlantic University. Helen helps entrepreneurs to resolve business development challenges primarily in the Agribusiness sector. Helen describes herself as a “Portfolio Worker”. She is thankful to be able to do what is important to her at this time, helping entrepreneurs.

Our conversation started with Helen describing her consultancy work, and how she helps entrepreneurs and business owners with their challenges; self-awareness, and industry knowledge. She explained the benefits of knowledge sharing on social media and the impact of education and mentorship on success. The importance and benefits of storytelling, Branding, Brand Value, and Brand Equity. The biggest challenges facing Africa are education and leadership.

My big takeaway was Helen’s encouraging young Africans to stop the externalization of Africa’s problems. To see the enormous opportunities that are present everywhere in our communities and to take responsibility. Helen also talked about the power of focus and discipline.
