Leaders On Purpose with Manal Bernoussi

It's been a minute since my last solo episode — and for the first time ever, I'm on camera for one.

The last few months have been full: traveling, building, showing up for everyone around me. And somewhere in the middle of it, I felt something unexpected — not burnout, not doubt, but a deep pull to slow down and make space.

In this episode, I talk about what that actually was: integration. Why a pause is not necessarily a loss of momentum. And what it looked like for me to finally listen to my body instead of pushing through.

I also share something I've been wanting to create for a while: the first cohort of the Leaders On Purpose Executive Program — a 6-module journey starting October 3rd for leaders, founders and senior professionals who want to strengthen their voice and their presence on stage. Applications are open at leadersonpurpose.ma.

If you've been craving space lately, or wondering whether slowing down means falling behind — this one's for you.

How can Africa use artificial intelligence, satellite data and geospatial technologies to build a more climate-resilient agricultural future?

In this episode of AAA Dialogues, in partnership with Leaders On Purpose Podcast, Manal Bernoussi sits down with Dr. Racine Lui, data scientist working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, geospatial intelligence and African agricultural systems.

With experience spanning physics, engineering, satellite imagery and mathematical modelling, Dr. Racine Lui explains how data and AI can help African countries move from reactive crisis management to more proactive decision-making.

The conversation explores the future of African agriculture, climate resilience, food security and technological sovereignty, including how satellite imagery and machine learning can be used to forecast crop production across Africa.

Dr. Racine Lui also addresses some of the critical challenges facing the continent: data ownership and accessibility, AI governance, algorithmic bias, early warning systems, the last mile of technology, and the need to develop African technological capacity.

Among the key topics discussed:

• How AI and satellite data can predict agricultural production • The role of geospatial intelligence in African agriculture • Climate change, adaptation and resilience • Data sovereignty and ownership in Africa • AI governance and responsible technology • Early warning systems for droughts and other climate shocks • Food security and targeted agricultural policies • Why Africa can build and lead its own AI systems • The importance of mapping and understanding African farmers • The future of technology and decision-making in Africa • Leadership, service and preparing the next generation

Dr. Racine Lui also shares his vision for the next decade: a more data-driven, targeted and resilient agricultural system across Africa, where technology supports better decisions and farmers are placed at the centre of policymaking.

"We cannot afford being reactive anymore."

Can Africa Feed the World? | Prof. Rattan Lal on Soil, Climate & the Purpose Behind his Work | AAA Dialogues

In this powerful episode of AAA Dialogues in partnership with Leaders On Purpose Podcast, Manal Bernoussi sits down with Prof. Rattan Lal, one of the world's leading soil scientists, contributor to the IPCC (Nobel Peace Prize 2007), recipient of the World Food Prize, and globally recognized expert on soil health, climate resilience, and regenerative agriculture.

But this conversation goes far beyond soil science.

From his childhood growing up on a farm to his lifelong mission to restore degraded land, Prof. Lal shares lessons on purpose, resilience, food security, climate action, leadership, and the future of Africa.

Why does healthy soil matter? Can agriculture become part of the climate solution? What must Africa do to unlock its agricultural potential? And what role can policymakers, scientists, and farmers play in shaping a better future?

A thought-provoking and deeply inspiring conversation on the power of nature, stewardship, and human responsibility.

• Why Africa can feed the world • The hidden link between soil, climate, food, and human health • The philosophy of "One Health" and interconnected systems • No-till farming, conservation agriculture & regenerative practices • Soil degradation, carbon sequestration, and climate resilience • Why agriculture is part of the solution — not the problem • Empowering African farmers, especially women smallholders • The role of policy, financing, and incentives in transforming agriculture • Why Prof. Lal believes soil may hold the key to Africa's future

AAA Dialogues is a special series marking the 10th anniversary of the Adaptation of African Agriculture (AAA) Initiative, launched under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI to place agriculture at the heart of climate action across Africa.

Leading Across Cultures – What Most Executives Get Wrong

🎧 Before we start, take a moment to make sure you're subscribed to the podcast on your favorite platform. Many listeners assume they already are — but often they're not.

What does it truly mean to lead across cultures?

In this episode of the Leaders On Purpose Podcast, I sit down with Leila Serhan, Senior Vice President at Visa, who oversees a diverse region spanning North Africa, the Levant, and Pakistan.

With decades of experience navigating complex markets and multicultural teams, Leila shares powerful insights on leadership, identity, and what it takes to operate effectively across borders.

Together, we explore the deeper layers of leadership beyond strategy and performance: the human ability to adapt, listen, and build trust across cultures.

This conversation is a reflection on humility, curiosity, and the responsibility leaders carry when representing organizations across different societies.

What leading across cultures really means in practice

Why curiosity and listening are essential leadership skills

The invisible mistakes executives often make when operating internationally

The importance of cultural intelligence in global leadership

How personal identity shapes the way we lead

Lessons from managing teams across North Africa, the Levant, and Pakistan

Leila Serhan is Senior Vice President at Visa, where she leads operations across North Africa, the Levant, and Pakistan. She is widely recognized for her leadership in the financial services industry and her ability to bridge cultures while driving innovation and growth across diverse markets.

The Leaders On Purpose Podcast is created and hosted by Manal Bernoussi, international MC and moderator. Through candid conversations with global leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers, the podcast explores the human journeys behind leadership — the doubts, lessons, and purpose that shape impactful careers.

🌍 Holding Paradoxes as Leaders | Nonviolent Communication & Conscious Leadership

Leaders On Purpose Podcast – Episode 63

In this episode, host Manal Bernoussi sits down with Amal Mekouar, President of the Board of the Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC), to explore how leaders can navigate complexity, tension, and paradox with greater clarity and humanity.

This is a deeply grounded and personal conversation. Amal introduced Manal years ago to practices that profoundly transformed the way she communicates, leads, and holds space — both in high-pressure professional environments and in life.

Together, they explore what leadership looks like when it is rooted not in control or fear, but in presence, self-empathy, and conscious choice.

In this conversation, we explore:

What Nonviolent Communication (NVC) really is — beyond common misconceptions

Why leaders often react from survival mode under pressure

How to balance results and relationships without choosing one over the other

Why others are a stimulus, not the cause, of our emotions

The role of self-empathy in navigating stress, responsibility, and decision-making

How fear shuts down creativity, trust, and innovation

What it truly means for leaders to hold space

Why burnout, blame, and rigidity are signals

How presence and deep listening unlock long-term performance and impact

This episode is an invitation to rethink leadership — not as authority or performance, but as a practice of presence. To slow down in order to see more clearly. And to lead in a way that honors both humanity and results.

🎧 Whether you are a CEO, entrepreneur, executive, or emerging leader, this conversation will offer perspective, language, and practical insights to navigate today's complexity with more alignment.

This episode of the Leaders on Purpose Podcast focuses on the importance of reflection at the end of the year and the practice of setting a single-word intention for the year ahead, rather than traditional New Year's resolutions.

As the final episode of 2025, Manal Bernoussi shares a moment of reflection on the year that just passed — a year that was demanding and emotionally heavy for many, and at the same time filled with growth, connection, and meaningful milestones.

Manal shares a simple but powerful reflection practice she returns to every December, and explains why clarity is the foundation of intentional growth — especially when life feels overwhelming or scattered.

She also revisits a practice that has guided her for years: choosing one word as an intention for the year ahead. Not a rigid resolution, but an internal compass.

You'll hear how her 2025 intention of Expansion unfolded through new countries, new stages, greater responsibility, and deeper inner work — and why her intention for 2026 is Transmission: a shift toward consolidation, sharing what has been embodied, and taking Leaders On Purpose beyond herself.

This episode is an invitation to reflect inward and name the season you're in.

As you step into 2026, what one word will guide you through the year ahead?

In this solo episode, Manal Bernoussi shares a honest reflection about those moments when life gets intense and we slowly lose our rhythm. She talks about the seasons of expansion and contraction we all experience, and why contraction isn't a setback — it's often what protects our balance.

Manal also shares how many people around her felt the same this October and November, and why this period — right before the end of the year — is the perfect moment to slow down, breathe, and come back to our center.

She opens up about her own anchor, rooted in intention, alignment, and service, and invites listeners to reconnect with theirs. The episode ends with a set of simple practices to regain clarity, presence, and focus.

In this solo episode of Leaders On Purpose Podcast, I dive into one of the most essential life skills: regulating our nervous system when we're triggered.

Together, we explore what it takes to stay grounded in a fast-paced world, the role of doubt in shaping resilience, and the courage it takes to lead with heart.

This conversation is a deep dive into what it really means to lead with purpose, especially in high-pressure environments. It's also a celebration of storytelling as a force to shape Africa's narrative from the inside out.

🎙️ Thierry Janssen – La posture juste : être en harmonie avec soi et le monde autour de soi

Ancien chirurgien devenu psychothérapeute, Thierry Janssen explore depuis plusieurs années la relation entre le corps et l'esprit pour tendre vers la « posture juste » : un état d'harmonie avec soi-même et avec ce qui nous entoure.

Dans cet épisode, nous revenons sur les principes de cette posture, en particulier dans le cadre professionnel, ainsi que sur l'approche développée au sein de l'École de la posture juste, qu'il a fondée à Bruxelles. https://edlpj.org/

« La justesse absolue est ce qui permet de s'adapter aux situations en agissant avec le maximum de respect pour la vie en nous et autour de nous », explique-t-il. Plus qu'un concept, cette posture essentielle est souvent mise à mal par nos comportements névrotiques. Elle invite à un véritable cheminement, à la fois psychologique, physique et spirituel.

Un échange profond et éclairant sur la transformation intérieure au service d'un leadership plus aligné.

🎙️ Dans cet épisode inédit de « Leaders On Purpose », Manal Bernoussi reçoit Moncef Belkhayat, une figure incontournable du paysage économique et politique marocain.

Il nous parle de succès, oui, mais aussi de ses cicatrices invisibles, de ces instants charnières qui redéfinissent une vie, de ses conseils les plus puissants pour les leaders et les entrepreneurs d'aujourd'hui… et de demain.

Un échange rare, vibrant, authentique — pour tous ceux qui croient que le leadership, ce n'est pas seulement diriger… c'est inspirer, oser, et rester profondément humain.

Welcome to another heart-to-heart episode of the Leaders On Purpose Podcast! I'm your host, Manal Bernoussi, and today's episode is a personal one, as we dive into the 12 lessons I've learned from 2024—undoubtedly one of the most challenging years of my life.

Every year, I dedicate time to pause, reflect, and take stock of the moments, lessons, and growth the past year has brought me. This isn't about resolutions but about integrating life's wisdom into the way we live. One habit that helps me in this reflective process is something I've been doing for years: going through my photo gallery.

Each photo tells a story—a meaningful moment, a challenge, or a joy—and it helps me process the experiences of the year. By revisiting these captured moments, I ask myself:

This simple yet powerful habit not only helps me document my journey but also allows me to extract lessons that I carry forward into the new year.

Join me as I share the insights and stories behind these lessons, and I encourage you to reflect on your own year through a similar practice. My hope is that these lessons inspire you to embrace both the highs and the lows, live with intention, and grow into the best version of yourself in the year ahead.

Call to Action: What lessons did 2024 teach you? Take a moment to reflect, revisit your photo gallery, and let those moments guide your intentions for 2025 —I'd love to hear from you!

Recently, I asked you on Instagram about what life situations you were struggling with the most. In this episode, we delve deeper into these life situations, we uncover that at the core, there's a common thread of fear. Fear of not being enough, fear of not being loved, fear of missing out or not being valued...

Those negative feelings can usually be traced back to one of 3 core fears. 1- Fear of failure, 2-Fear of success, 3- Fear of judgement.

When you overlap all 3 circles, at the center, is self doubt... We're on this journey together. Let's dive in!

Dand cet épisode, j'ai le grand plaisir d'accueillir M. Mohamed Horani, Président du Conseil d'Administration du Groupe HPS. Consul Honoraire de Singapour à Casablanca et membre du Conseil Economique Social et Environnemental au Maroc. M. Horani a fondé en 1995 la société Hightech Payment Systems (HPS) qu'il a dirigée en tant que Président Directeur Général jusqu'à fin 2021. Précurseur de l'expansion de la monétique au Maroc, il a réussi à faire de cette entreprise cotée en bourse un fleuron de l'économie marocaine et un acteur majeur international de l'industrie du paiement électronique. En 2013, M. Horani a été décoré par Sa Majesté le Roi Mohammed VI du Wissam Al Moukafaa Al Watania de l'Ordre de grand officier.

Une success story 100% marocaine. HPS opère dans 90 pays et compte près de 1000 collaborateurs présents à Casablanca, Paris, Aix-en-Provence, Dubaï et Singapour.

Comment l'idée de HPS a-t-elle germé au tout début ? Qui sont les personnes qui l'ont inspiré ? Quelle est sa définition du succès ? ...et bien d'autres choses encore. Une conversation à ne surtout pas rater !

We touch on obstacles that get in our way and uncover examples of toxic gratitude, when we practice it the wrong way.

We get into how we can find gratitude in challenging times and when expectations go unmet.

In this episode, we unpack some of the thoughts and feelings that come along with big decisions in life.

We talk about the importance of understanding one's purpose and aligning actions with it, rather than falling back into old patterns.

We also recognize that drifting away from one's center is part of the dance of life. We touch on the topic of self compassion, which is different from self-indulgence and is actually a powerful tool.

Building self awareness and committing to self actualization is what allows us to recenter and refocus towards the right direction.

ln this episode we talk about the quantum leap, the leap of faith, going from a comfortable corporate position to starting your own business.

Welcome to the very first episode of 2023!

This is a short and sweet episode to tie off the year, to reflect, and welcome in the new year together.

We talk about setting an overall intention for the year, letting go of New Years resolutions as they often are tied with harsh self-criticism. We invite in more self love and resolve to take control of the process instead of focusing on the outcome.

Son rêve originel résonne très fortement en moi : celui de prouver qu'une entreprise du sud peut être un modèle d'entreprenariat, d'inspirer les jeunes à oser aller au bout de leur rêve et de toujours repousser les limites du possible.

Dans cet épisode Karim nous parle de son approche pour gérer les hommes et les femmes dans un groupe qui compte désormais plus de 40.000 personnes dans 17 pays. On parle de ce qui l'inspire le plus chez un leader, son conseil pour les gens qui passent par des moments difficiles au travail.

This episode was recorded from Maui, Hawaii. A very special moment that I'm sharing with you, following an intention I had set for myself at the beginning of this year.

In this episode we're talking about the Power of Intention and how important that is for a meaningful and fulfilling life.

We're going through teachings and insights from some of the most inspiring great leaders and authors (Oprah Winfrey, Gary Zukav, Sadghuru...).

We're exploring how clarifying our Intention is at the heart of creating authentic power. When we're unclear, everything comes accross messy and random…our intention is our true "reason why", and the real motivation that we have is the one that creates the outcome.

Welcome to the first solo episode of 2022.

We are exploring the topic of spirituality. Whether you're religious or not, we're talking here about universal values.

I think there is nothing more fulfulling than growing in all areas of life. Spirituality and self transcendance are viewed as the ultiment levels for human fulfilment.

The journey towards spiritual growth is a continuously unfolding reality. I believe it comes and goes. Patience and keeping an open heart are needed. The journey of faith is not a race. Each person walks it at a different pace.

Daniele J Suissa is a Moroccan Director- Producer, Professor and Mentor who has an extensive career that spans from France, to Canada, to the US, to Jordan and Morocco. Danièle is 81 years young. I wish I could have this much drive and passion at her age.

Daniele has collaborated with many personalities such as Robert Hossein, Anais Nin and Jeanne Moreau to name a few. She is very discreet and rarely speaks about herself and accomplishments….

Since 1998 she has dedicated most of her time sharing everything she has learned from her 60 years of experience. During the pandemic, she published her book "The DJS technique, tools for directors, actors and storytellers" which she had promised to her global students.

How many of you think that ego is at the center of so many of our daily struggles? How many of you witness situations of conflict where ego is sitting front and center? How much energy waste (within the corporate world but also in our personal life) takes root in situations where ego is involved?

I used to think that ego showed itself through someone being arrogant, or entitled or selfish … until I realized it is not just the obvious.

In this episode we touch on this fascinating topic that is relevant to each and everyone of us. We differentiate between ego and the true-self and share signals and indicators of how the ego shows up most of the time.

Understanding our ego and befriending it, is the best way to have it work for us instead of against us.

Peter Edwards has been part of a very special moment in my journey... Having devoted the majority of his career to fighting climate change and global warming, he found his way to China and worked his way up to the top of the industry – having served at the British Embassy in Beijing, the European Union Chamber of Commerce, and becoming the GM of an Environmental Research Company at the age of 28 – all of which culminated in him making it onto Forbes' first 30 Under 30 Europe List and also becoming a Global Shaper with the World Economic Forum. Despite all of this success, however, he suddenly found himself in an emotionally-crippling career crisis in his early 30's after feeling burnt-out and having lost the same passion for fighting climate change and global warming. In the darkest of days, however, he managed to lean into the pain, leverage his own network, and reinvent his entire professional identity. Now as a self-professed "Serial Side Hustler," he has developed an incredible portfolio of side hustles including but not limited to working as a

And even more impressive is that he managed to create all these side hustles with little to no experience all in the span of 5 years! With an experience and skill set like that, he is now on a new mission to help professionals that are struggling with a career crisis.

To get in touch with Peter:

In this solo episode, I talk about vulnerability, why we're afraid of it and also how to embrace the power of it.

Vulnerability makes us uncomfortable, yet it is the only path to courage and more meaningful relationships.

Allowing in more vulnerability in the workplace, is creating the right environment for creativity and innovation to thrive.

I share some of the findings from Brené Brown's research on vulnerability. Her work is absolutely fascinating.

In this solo episode, we will be talking about a question that I have been reflecting on and researching for a while now and that I really wanted to share that with you as part of this journey we're on together. Cause I feel it's probably one of the most important questions of life. It really determines the level of aliveness and happiness and ultimately the quality of your life. And that is this simple, yet really big question of: what is your purpose in life?

How would you react if you went in for a review expecting to get a raise and you end up getting fired?

So many teachable moments in this inspiring conversation with Pr. David Hayes, I can't wait for you to listen to it. Share with us an insight, a piece of wisdom, a tip, a practice that you will start doing...tag us both on social media and let us know!

It's never too late for you to pivot and explore new things! You can have many purposes in life. Sometimes we have that feeling that we are too far engaged in one path, or one career, that it becomes part of our identity. We feel that the dice are already cast and somehow we convince ourselves that we need to honor that path until the end. The fact is, you can have many missions in life... and that's OK! As long as you let go of what you think you SHOULD be doing and tune in more to what you love, you start to positively impact those around you...

David Hayes is Professor of Entrepreneurship at the Africa Business School. Prior to this, he was a professor of entrepreneurship at Western California University and a professor at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, where he was responsible for entrepreneurship, business, and marketing courses. David is an exceptional entrepreneur, educator, and innovator with an extraordinary record in business creation and corporate endeavors, an advanced educational and research background, and proven dynamic leadership, university instruction, and lecturing capabilities.

He has also served as President and Managing Partner of Serendipity Design Studios, LLC, as well as Consultant and Board Member for eOptimize Advanced Systems, Inc. in Canada.

Believing in yourself and building your mindset are probably THE MOST important aspects you need to work on, in order to have success, or have happiness, or fulfillment or incredible relationships or whatever it is that you want.
