Why capable people stall on the career ladder despite their qualifications — and the practical solutions, available to everyone, for career and leadership growth.
For some it is harnessed effortlessly; for most of us it needs encouragement. I have dedicated myself to being that encourager — through the written and the spoken word.
A servant of God and a friend of man. Andrew Obara is a Ugandan author, management consultant and speaker. Born in Tororo in 1963, he holds a PhD, an MBA in Finance and a first degree in Economics — and spent 25 years in banking before turning to the work he calls his calling: helping people develop to their full potential.
Twenty-five years of senior banking and consulting practice, delivered as encouragement people can act on.

The personal advice, spiritual value and great wisdom in Dr. Obara’s book just amazes me.”
“… I have successfully finished reading the whole book without missing a single chapter, single word, or even a full stop… the whole book from the beginning to the end was vivacious to me… Thank you for Leaping Forward and writing this motivation that has surely captured my soul and helped me understand the vital things in life…”
