Ubuntu Leadership played an instrumental role in helping us identify and address workplace climate and culture pain points for our stakeholders. Their empathetic approach in listening sessions and workshops was appreciated by leaders and teams alike. I value their expertise and courage to explore capacity-building solutions that promote inclusion and belonging in innovative ways. I highly recommend them to any team seeking to make a meaningful impact.

The Ubuntu team led our 30-person group through an exceptional design thinking workshop. Their meticulous planning created a seamless experience that was creative, practical, and perfectly tailored to our needs. Their excellent facilitators made everyone feel comfortable while ensuring the content flowed effortlessly. Ubuntu is truly responsive and collaborative, helping us understand that good design must center on user needs. Their approach boosted both our culture and performance—I highly recommend them.

La collaboration avec Ubuntu pour la formation sur la diversité des genres a été fructueuse. Leur équipe a su comprendre nos besoins spécifiques et à produire une formation interactive avec des exemples concrets. Je recommande Ubuntu pour toute organisation cherchant à faire un pas significatif vers l’intégration de l’EDI dans ses pratiques. Leur professionnalisme et leur souci du détail en font un partenaire incontournable dans ce domaine.

 

When women are supported and workplaces are inclusive, organizations win. This is why we work on two fronts: we coach women to step into leadership with confidence, and partner with organizations to make workplaces more inclusive.

Our Core Values

MEET THE FOUNDER


I founded Ubuntu Leadership to help organizations elevate the next generation of women leaders. Too often, talented women face invisible barriers that hold them back. These challenges aren’t about capability; they stem from culture, opportunity, and access to the right support.

At Ubuntu Leadership, we partner with organizations to remove those barriers by investing in women’s leadership journeys. Through coaching, skills development, and culture transformation, we create environments where women can rise, lead with confidence, and shape the future of their organizations and communities.

As a Black woman who has navigated organizations across continents, I understand the intersections of culture, power, and performance. That experience drives my commitment to ensuring women are not only invited into leadership but fully equipped to thrive as decision-makers, innovators, and changemakers.

Ubuntu Leadership exists to make that vision real, building inclusive pathways for women leaders to grow and make meaningful impact at every level.

Rise & Thrive

 Are you ready to develop a more diverse leadership pipeline? One of the most effective ways to ensure that diverse women leaders rise within the organization is by providing them with targeted coaching and support. The Rise & Thrive Coaching Program does exactly that. Offered one-on-one or in cohorts of 10–12 participants, the program equips women to strengthen their strategic thinking, negotiate effectively, manage conflict constructively, and navigate complex organizational dynamics while building strong internal networks of support. For organizations, this translates into stronger retention, higher engagement, and a more inclusive leadership pipeline that reflects the diversity of today’s workforce.

WORKSHOPS

Our workshops open minds, spark critical conversations, and equip teams with practical tools to take the first steps toward meaningful change.

IINFLUENCE WITHOUT AUTHORITY

 

Women often need to navigate complex organizational dynamics without formal authority. This workshop equips participants with the tools to influence decisions, get heard, and gain support from colleagues and leaders. Through role plays and practical frameworks, they build confidence in advancing their goals while strengthening collaboration.

NETWORKING & PERSONAL BRANDING

 Career growth depends on being visible, building allies, and communicating successes and strengths effectively. This workshop helps women develop authentic personal branding and networking skills to build relationships that open doors to opportunities, sponsorship, and advancement.

NAVIGATE CONFLICT WITH CONFIDENCE

 

Conflict is inevitable, but how we navigate it shapes team trust and performance. This workshop uses the Thomas-Kilmann Instrument (TKI) framework to help women understand their conflict styles, adapt to situations, and handle disagreements with confidence and respect.
