A collection of our signature leadership & environmental keystones.
THIS, is what Lead Wild asks of us!
Our lives are being transformed by eco-geo-political forces that can no longer be ignored.
Most of us can agree that we need to live differently with/on the earth?

Re-looking how we live does not threaten our well-being.
In fact, a clearer conscience improves it.
Lead Wild acknowledges, conserves and re-cycles traditional wisdom and nature inspired leadership.
Here follows some insights and suggestions of a roadmap to integrate this into our lives.

The Nature/Man Relationship
Our stories are all written in our wild landscapes around us.
And perhaps, most importantly, so too are insightful clues into our future.

Regaining our Ecological Humility.
Home happens when you realise you belong to the land, and the land does not belong to you.
Paying the honesty bill.
The impact of a wilderness experience or nature inspired encounter depends entirely on your availability.
The value of traditional wisdom/Ubuntu.
Patterns of togetherness, humility and co-operation are the foundation of traditional wisdom principles.
Ancient patterns that are essential for modern society to re-connect with.
To provide congruency in a shared narrative.

A commitment to the well-being of nature.
Lead Wild succinctly put is this: we depend on nature for our survival.
Not for our well-being or comfort.

WHAT DO WE DO?
Re-connections with nature. And ultimately, with our own selves.
Wilderness Trails, Botswana
To inter-be with the wild, to walk alongside the animals, to breathe the same air, to drink the same water.
This is luxury perhaps, a redemptive space of belonging.
You will come to discover the wild, but you will leave having discovered yourself.

ABOUT US
Our story so far ...
Alan McSmith"For 37 years as a wilderness guide, i have spoken of a deeper meaning of nature. To share what is normally unseen, beneath the surface, in the silence. Perhaps these are the spaces we need to explore in our modern world: to innovate inspiration in our lives. African wilderness has so much to offer this process. It is within these ancient landscapes that the human being emerged. It is home. Therefore the conservation of her wildlife and traditional leadership wisdom is of global significance.

Sarah McSmith"Africa and Africanisms are in my blood. As is care for our natural world and people. My life has been about sharing messages of love and Ubuntu. These values personify what leadership is, and how we can practically and functionally apply inspiration in our life. Cynics may disagree but Ubuntu is not dead nor dormant, it is very much alive. Visit any rural African community to re-discover the currency of kindness. Paid in empathy and respect. Love.
