Hi there!
Winitha Bonney OAM is a global expert in corporate inclusion and is Australia's first and foremost Thought Leader in the advancement of People of Colour.
Over the past 23 years Winitha has worked in a range of executive and board roles and has successfully founded several businesses.
As a speaker and thought leader Winitha is obsessed with conscious capitalism. What sets Winitha apart is their ability to solve complex business problems to support organisations to move beyond the silos of inclusion, ESG and being purpose-driven, and towards the integrated future of business - conscious capitalism.
She has the unique ability to take out the overwhelm, complexity and frustration through positive and inspirational framing, advanced problem solving, practical tools and step-by-step systems and actions leaving your leaders and people empowered, educated and equipped to create, nurture and leverage change for good.
In our opinion, we feel brands are in the business of using capitalism for good, that is the integration of purpose, people, planet and profit.
Leaders have noticed the change in consumer behaviour and want to future-proof the business whilst ensuring the brand is relevant, progressive and industry leading.
The way we see it, there are four big challenges for the leaders and organisations that we help:
1. competing business priorities
2. busyness and a lack of time; being overwhelmed and distracted by the BAU
3. confusion about what to do, when and how
4. support to implement the what, when, and how (as a result of dot point 1 and 2 above)
Through advisory services based on cutting-edge research, keynotes, training, strategy workshops and programs Winitha gets organisations unstuck, clear and moving towards integrating conscious capitalism into HOW they do business (Vs. a siloed part of their business) and into their brand DNA.
Winitha is a highly sought after and globally recognised thought leader and speaker and was awarded an Order of Australia in 2021 for their extensive work and leadership in inclusion.
They are also Australia's first and foremost experts in leadership and entrepreneurship for Women and People of Colour.
Winitha shares their expertise, insights, and provides practical and actionable guidance to help your organisation, leaders and people shift from confused, overwhelmed and frustrated to confident, capable and competent in integrating conscious capitalism and inclusion into HOW you do business and HOW you lead, therefore making it WHO you are, your organisational and brand DNA.
As a Thought Leader and expert, Winitha is obsessed with human, organisational and collective transformation. In particular, how culture drives growth, impact and innovation.
She helps leaders and businesses to create anti-racist cultures to drive equity and equality for People of Colour with half the amount of resources and double the impact.
She also helps them to build anti-fragile cultures of inclusion where everyone is heard, seen and valued creating true belonging, equity, equality and connection.
Winitha also helps Women and People of Colour
get unstuck, halve the time it takes for them to achieve their goals and experience freedom in being who they always knew they were meant to be.
What sets Winitha apart is that as a Woman of Colour, she knows first-hand what it is like to be left out, to have opportunities withheld from you and to feel like you don't belong in certain communities and organisations. She has stepped into the unknown repeatedly, regardless of fear, in the pursuit of something better for herself, her community and business. This has resulted in growth on various levels.
Winitha understands the unique problems you are facing and has developed a methodology that helps you overcome them.
Her programs provide a safe environment, support, accountability, training and the mentorship you need to achieve your desired outcomes.
She is like a personal trainer for your goals.
Perhaps you are a Person of Colour who wants to be a leader/entrepreneur and who wants to make their way in the world, but lacks the mentor, coach, support and accountability needed from another Person of Colour who's been a CEO/entrepreneur to get you there.
Or maybe you are a leader or an organisation who wants to create a culture of anti-fragility through an inclusive and engaged organisation that actively creates equity, equality and freedom for Women and/or People of Colour but lacks the expertise, lived experience, support, and know-how needed to get you there.
