Building Bridges: The Power of Empathy and Connection in Community Leadership

What does it really take to build systems people can trust? In this conversation, Victor Adejoh, clinical psychologist and Country Director of Synergos Nigeria, breaks it down not through theories, but through lived experience. We talk about the quiet work behind real leadership: listening, empathy, and the courage to see yourself as part of both the problem and the solution. This episode goes inside the Synergos approach to bridging leadership — a way of working that builds trust across governments, communities, and organizations. Victor shares stories of how play became a tool for connection, how self-awareness shapes policy, and why leaders need to do their inner work before they can lead others. In this episode: • Why play, not pressure, sometimes unlocks the real work • How empathy and compassion make better policies • What “bridging leadership” looks like in practice • Why every leader — no matter where they sit — needs to do the inner work first #ChangeNarratives #VictorAdejoh #Synergos #TrustIsInfrastructure #BridgingLeadership #Empathy #Leadership #SystemsChange #Nigeria #Community #InnerWork #AfricaStories #InclusiveDevelopment
