Set in an intimate auditorium-style venue, the show emulates a coffee-house conversation and atmosphere, blending professional insights with personal development themes. CEO Nights with Nyimpini focuses on the human aspects of the leader and not the title or role; the family person, the individual in and outside of work – providing insight into a ‘day in the life of a CEO’ and your journey to the top.
