About Delight 5 Way

Building the leadership Africa is asking for.

We exist to shape the next generation of African leaders — through coaching, learning, community and bold ideas.

Our Story

A movement that started with one conviction.

Delight 5 Way was founded in 2016 by Elizabeth Kimani out of a conviction she could no longer ignore: Africa's greatest challenge is not a talent problem. It is a leadership development problem.

What began as a private coaching practice has grown into a multi-sector platform — coaching executives, training organizations, gathering communities, and developing leaders across Multi-sector experience.

Today, Delight 5 Way is home to the Delight 5 Way Leadership Academy, executive coaching engagements, corporate trainings, signature events and a thriving alumni community of over 12,000 leaders.

What we hold sacred.

People First

Rooted in Africa

Our context shapes our methods and our hope.

No one rises alone — and no one should.

What Makes Us Different

Delight 5 Way isn't another training company.

African-context frameworks

We don't import frameworks. We build them for our continent.

Banks, telcos, NGOs, churches, founders, governments.

Care + craft, in equal measure

Warmth is not weakness. Excellence is not coldness. We do both.

A community, not a course
