Having worked for 15 years in corporate leadership roles, I understand how challenging it can be to cultivate a culture of Engagement, Productivity and Creativity.
I quickly noticed that in times of change, growth or uncertainty, the most effective skill to ensure a sense of ease, psychological safety and belonging in order to retain and motivate employees was my ability to lead with empathy and compassion.
My technical and operational skills were important, but were not the reason the humans in my team remained committed to my vision or stayed in our workplace.
The importance of ensuring your team or organisation feel seen and heard is critical to business success and continuity. A lack of empathy leads to burnout, fear and lack of trust which are key reasons for good people leaving or signing off due to sickness and mental health challenges.
At Being Human Well, I guide you towards empathetic leadership in a non-judgemental environment, being aware that we are all learning new ways to lead effectively.
The Ecosystem offerings allow you to empower all humans within your organsiation to be part of the solution; from inspiring keynotes for everyone, deep-dive workshops for leaders and retreats to ensure your team members feel seen, loved and respected.
Empathy is available to all and is a critical ingredient for a shift towards a more human way of being in the workplace. For Individuals I use primarily meditation practices to support you to find ease and a sense of belonging in yourself; how to feel and be human.
I run retreats, courses and online offerings, including 1:1 and group options. I primarily work alone and often introduce my own sound healing elements to sessions, but I also partner with carefully selected humans and brands who I invite to some of my retreats and events.
I always knew I wanted to support others, so to be doing this now is a dream come true. My way of being has been passed down from generations of ancestors and I have roots in many parts of the world. My upbringing has been filled with the wonders of African spirituality, Western learning and deep love for Eastern practices. I enjoy a blended approach to wellbeing.
I hold BSc Psychology and MSc Occupational Psychology qualifications, a certification in Meditation teaching and have trained with the Dalia Lama & Deepak Chopra. I have a myriad of life and work experiences and heaps of research to draw from. My blend of experience is unique and I look forward to inspiring you!
I have partnered with Amazon, Monica Vinader, Vinted, TRIUM Exec MBA, AXA XL, Ogilvy and many others to cultivate Empathetic mindsets.
