Extended Bio (around 350 words)

Tamisha Williams is a leadership coach, speaker, and consultant on a mission to revolutionize how BIPOC women and nonbinary leaders approach their careers—by putting wellness at the center, not the sidelines. As Founder of Tamisha Williams Consulting, she draws on more than a decade of experience as an educator and DEI practitioner to help leaders navigate systemic inequities without sacrificing themselves in the process.

Rooted in a family of storytellers, educators, creators, and resistors, Tamisha's approach to leadership is compassionate, reflective, and infused with both deep faith and a healthy dose of play. Her signature coaching program, Abuntu forms the cornerstone of her work. Through its five principles—Assess your well-being, Align with your core values, Assemble your crew, Activate your plan, and Attune to your inner compass—clients discover that sustainable leadership isn't just about what they achieve, but how they thrive along the way.

Before launching her consulting practice in 2021, Tamisha served as a DEI leader in independent schools, where she developed initiatives to foster equity and inclusion. This experience solidified her belief that health, wellness, and sustainable work-life integration aren't just nice-to-haves—they're the absolute foundation for effective leadership and meaningful change. Since then, she has partnered with healthcare, education, and the arts organizations, delivering transformative coaching and workshops that challenge the false dichotomy between success and well-being.

Tamisha holds a Master's in Family and Marriage Counseling from The College of William and Mary and is a certified personal and executive coach through The Coaching and Positive Psychology Institute (CaPP). Her workshops and speaking engagements are characterized by authentic engagement, practical strategies, and the firm belief that rest is a revolutionary act.

When not empowering leaders, Tamisha enjoys cooking, African dance, and old murder mysteries. Through both her personal practices and professional work, she continues to prove that leadership excellence and joyful living aren't competing priorities; they're perfect partners in creating lasting, positive change.
