Botswana to the World! Join our 2023 Local President Keba Daniel Magogwe on the world's stage this Sunday to empower parents on Communication and Digital Parenting.

In today’s digital age, children are exposed to online platforms at an increasingly younger age. While technology offers learning opportunities, it also presents risks such as cyberbullying, inappropriate content, online predators, and excessive screen time. Mothers and caregivers play a critical role in guiding and protecting children in the digital space. However, many lack access to practical knowledge and tools to ensure safe internet use at home.

On 31 January 2026, the boards of JCI Botswana and JCI Gaborone participated in an intensive leadership training session facilitated by Senator Donald Koogotsitse, fondly known as “Senator Don”.

The training centered on embracing transformational leadership and corporate governance — two pillars essential for building sustainable organizations and impactful communities. Senator Don emphasized that in today’s ever-evolving world, leaders must not only accept change but actively drive it.

At JCI, our guiding principle “One Year to Lead” reminds us that leadership is both a privilege and a responsibility. Within that short timeframe, leaders are called to inspire, serve, and leave a lasting impact. This philosophy also highlights the importance of being both a leader and a follower, ensuring continuity and collective growth.

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠:
• 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒂𝒔 𝒂 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕: Leaders must embrace and adapt to change.
• Corporate governance: Effective leadership requires accountability, structure, and sustainability.
• Leadership & followership: Both roles are critical in building a movement that endures.
• Personal growth: Leaders should be self-starters, widely read, passionate, and purposeful.
• Learning by doing: Rotational leadership exposes members to diverse responsibilities, shaping well-rounded leaders.
• Transformational leadership: Creating an improved future through vision, conflict management, organizational life cycles, and governance frameworks.

Leadership isn’t just about personal growth—it’s about transforming communities. By inspiring others, practicing integrity, and leading with passion, JCI leaders create local impact while competing globally. True leadership is service, impact, and building communities that thrive.
