Want Women and People of Color leaders to advance more quickly?

What we do

We create leaders.

Over the past decade, women have made important gains at every level of the corporate pipeline (especially in senior leadership). Yet progress is surprisingly fragile, especially for women of color. Simply put, men outnumber women at every level. Since the pandemic, retaining women continues to be at the forefront of the corporate world.

We care deeply about unleashing potential so women and people of color can thrive and impact the world in a meaningful way.

INCLUSION driven. LEADERSHIP focused.

Why we do it

The Women In The Workplace report by LeanIn and McKinsey & Company states it will take nearly 50 years to achieve gender parity for all women.

We want to change this.

We offer individual and organizational solutions that unlock the potential of women and people of color leaders to drive better business outcomes.

When women and people of color ascend to leadership positions, the collective only gets stronger.

Hear from Event Organizers

  • Shaneen Jackson, Global Lead for Women's ERG at Kraft Heinz

    “From the moment we connected I knew Salima was my top pick supported by my leadership team as a keynote speaker for our Global International Women's Day event. At Kraft Heinz, we are on a mission to increase Women in Leadership roles to 50% by 2025 and increase gender parity to 50% by 2025. With these aspirations and this work being at the forefront of Salima’s everyday life, I knew she would have a powerful story to tell to our employees at Kraft Heinz.

  • Mineta Galijasevic, Chair of Global Leadership of Women Network at Siemens Energy

    The feedback from the audience has been overwhelmingly positive where many of the members started applying the knowledge within their development plans. Salima’s preparation was thorough and systematically in tune with the aim of our event and it has been a pleasure to work with Salima. I would strongly recommend her.”

  • Canada Diversity Team, Nokia

    “Salima's keynote, "Why You Need PIE," was impeccably tailored to our audience and received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Attendees found the session incredibly valuable, thanks to the abundance of practical advice shared.

    Beyond the event itself, it sparked ongoing discussions and implementations within our teams, acting as a catalyst for positive change.

  • Jason Blais, VP of Program Management at Mattermost

    “Salima is an incredible coach, mentor and partner who really helped me develop as a leader.

    Within just a few weeks after working with Salima, I was taking big steps to increase my executive presence with clear results.

  • Irene De Guzman, Director of Recruiting at Procom

    “I've had the privilege of working with Salima as an executive coach for just 3 sessions, and the experience has been transformative. Salima's guidance has allowed me to view my insecurities not as barriers, but as unique strengths. This shift in perspective has immensely boosted my self-confidence and helped me focus now more effectively on both my personal and career goals.”

  • Tanuja Patel, Director of National Sales Initiatives at NEI Investments

    “I realized that while I’m a seasoned individual in business, I needed more confidence and comfort to ask for what I deserve and to declare my intentions to take my career to the next level. To a certain extent, I need to worry less about what others think. I also realized the importance of establishing a strong brand so others can advocate for me-effectively having sponsors. Coaching helped affirm many of these things and pushed me to act in a timely manner.

  • Thanya Duvage, Health Equity Specialist at Unity Health Toronto

    I feel like I have the foundation and blueprint to be successful in this changing work landscape. Salima has helped me to understand my unique strengths, and how to apply those to both find and create opportunities which are aligned with my vision. Throughout the process, I felt empowered by Salima's approach, openness, commitment and knowledge.

  • Colleen Kelly, VP of Trade, Marketing, and Industry Relationships at Anheuser-Busch

    I truly believe that I'm a better whole person because of my coaching experience with Salima. I am able to set a more positive course of action in the face of challenges and I can show up in a bolder way for myself and my team. I'm happy to report that I did earn that promotion.”
