What unites the leaders I work with is not geography, but the desire to lead in a way that feels both effective and authentic. Because of my time living and working in Africa and the West, I’ve long been interested in how the beliefs and expectations we carry from our countries and cultures influence how we lead and what might become possible when we expand our definition of ‘good’ leadership.
On Leadership, Culture, and What Shapes Us
Much of what leaders bring into their roles has been shaped long before they are aware of it. Our histories, contexts, and lived experiences quietly influence how we relate to authority, difference, ambition, and responsibility – often in ways that only become visible when we pause to reflect.
What Does it Mean to Matter Now?
There are times in our lives when the ground begins to quietly (or loudly) shift beneath us. The world around us changes - fast, unpredictably, and often painfully. And at the same time, something inside of us shifts too. Not in a dramatic or obvious way, but in a quiet and persistent way that is hard to ignore.
Leadership by Choice, Not Expectation
In recent months, many of my clients have begun to articulate something they've been sensing for a while: that chasing the next role may come at a cost they're no longer willing to pay.
From Occupational Therapy to Leadership Coaching
While I no longer practice as an OT, the foundation it gave me continues to shape how I work. I support people in navigating the complexities of their professional lives with clarity, purpose, and care – because in today’s world, our relationship to work deeply impacts our ability to thrive – both personally and professionally.
