Bridging the Age Gap with a Handshake

In the final episode of the Bridging the Age Gap series, Julia sits with Funmi Adeyemi and Folawe Omikunle; two education leaders from different generations united by a shared conviction for equity in Nigeria. They unpack the subtle tensions between senior and younger leaders; feedback hesitations, fears of failure, and navigating hierarchy, while highlighting how trust and openness can reshape the way we lead.

Watch this short clip where they use the creative example of a handshake to explore how reframing hierarchy can open the door to authenticity and a new normal of leading. Watch the full episode here: https://womenemerging.org/podcast/167-folawe-funmi-overcoming-respect/
