Extended Bio (around 350 words)

Tamisha Williams is a leadership coach, speaker, and consultant dedicated to supporting BIPOC women and nonbinary leaders in prioritizing their wellness as they excel in their careers. As the Founder and CEO of Tamisha Williams Consulting, she draws on more than a decade of experience in the education sector and as a DEI practitioner to support leaders navigating systemic inequities and professional challenges. Her mission is to ensure leaders of color can thrive in their careers without sacrificing their well-being.

Tamisha’s signature coaching program, Abuntu—a blend of the words “abundance” and “Ubuntu” (meaning “There’s abundance in our collective humanity”)—is at the core of her work. The program’s five principles—Assess your well-being, Align with your core values, Assemble your crew, Activate your plan, and Attune to your inner compass—guide clients in finding balance, resilience, and authentic leadership. By integrating wellness practices and community care, Abuntu empowers leaders to make sustainable changes that support their professional growth and personal fulfillment.

Before starting her own business, Tamisha served as a DEI leader in independent schools, where she developed initiatives to foster equity and inclusion within educational communities. In 2021, she intentionally chose to step away from this work, seeking a more fulfilling life centered on joy and wellness. Since then, Tamisha has used her background to work with organizations in healthcare, education, national conferences, and the arts, facilitating transformative workshops and coaching sessions for leaders who seek to lead purposefully and with integrity.

In addition to her coaching and consulting work, Tamisha is a sought-after speaker at national conferences and educational events. She focuses on leadership strategies that combat burnout and foster collective well-being. Her commitment to leading with empathy, authenticity, and self-care sets her apart, making her an inspiring voice for leaders looking to thrive in their careers and personal lives.

Tamisha is passionate about cooking, African dance, and old murder mysteries. She values deep connections with loved ones and continues growing her wellness-centered life by embracing practices that nurture her joy and energy. Through her work, she inspires others to do the same.

Creative Bio (between 150-200 words)

Tamisha Williams is not your average leadership coach—she’s a self-care advocate on a mission to help you lead like a boss without burning out. As the CEO of Tamisha Williams Consulting, Tamisha brings a dash of joy, a sprinkle of resilience, and a whole lot of wellness to the table for BIPOC women and nonbinary leaders. With her signature program, Abuntu, she reminds us all that “There’s abundance in our collective humanity”—and yes, that includes setting boundaries and saying “no” when needed!

Before diving into coaching, Tamisha spent years navigating the world of DEI in independent schools. But in 2021, she pressed pause, stepped into her own joy, and started living a life centered on wellness—cue lots of cooking, African dance, and quality time with loved ones. Now, she’s sharing that wisdom with leaders ready to reclaim their time, energy, and authentic selves.

When she’s not coaching or leading workshops, Tamisha is probably sipping on delicious tea, watching old murder mysteries, or reading a YA fantasy novel. A firm believer in rest and joy as radical acts, she’s here to help you do the same—because thriving shouldn’t come with burnout as the price.
