Get the support you deserve to be
free + succeed
Many Women of Colour leaders experience a feeling of isolation and self-doubt in the positions that they occupy, whether that is because they are the only Woman of Colour in their leadership team or because they face or have faced ongoing discrimination.
It can be overwhelming to understand how to manage and navigate white systems and structures, and thrive, at the same time.
What if the parts of you that felt like barriers to your success, were actually the levers you could pull to propel you forward? What if you didn’t conform, stay silent, people-please, faked it till you made it, code switch or put yourself last any more?
Winitha works with ambitious Women of Colour in leadership positions (or who are aspiring to leadership positions) to help them show up as their true selves, and lead in a way that creates freedom and liberation for them and generations to come.
Ways we can work together
Psychological Safety
Psychosocial hazards, respect at work, speak up cultures and psychological safety: The role and responsibility of leaders, people managers and people.
Research shows time and time again that psychological safety is the biggest driver of high-performing teams and individuals and the foundation, the absolute bedrock of inclusive teams and cultures. It's also the number one driver to produce creativity and innovation that stands out from the crowded marketplace.
In this session, we unpack what it is, what it isn't, what microaggressions are and how they differ from person to person and impacts a teams performance. We also get clear on what psychological safety looks like in the workplace and amongst teams, and together we unpack basic steps to create it for yourself and others on a daily basis consistently as we journey towards inclusion in our business. Importantly, we will also look at how psychological safety links to respect at work, psychosocial hazards and speak up cultures. This is an interactive session and there will be time at the end of the session for Q&A.
This program can be tailored for the audiences below and is necessary training for all senior leaders and people managers.

Leadership book for WoC
As Australia’s first and foremost Thought Leader in the advancement of women of colour into leadership, I know what works and doesn’t work.
I’ve coached, mentored and run leadership programs for hundreds of clever women just like you who are feeling stuck, stagnant, frustrated, unfulfilled and unconfident. Some of you may even be wondering, ‘do I have what it takes?’, ‘am I good enough?’, ‘what if I fail? or ‘what if they see I’m a fake?’
With over +270 juicy pages, this book you will teach you how to overcome and thrive in white structures and lead from the inside out to become the leader you always knew you were deep down. It’s time to awaken your possibility, live unapologetically and unleash your inner power on the world.
This book is the first of it’s kind in Australian history and there isn’t anything quite like it in the world. Which is why I wrote it, from my heart, to yours, to see you thrive and succeed.
The world needs and is ready for Women of Colour leaders.
You ready, Sis? Let me show you how!
