Who I am 

My name is Amina Chitembo, a multi-award-winning British-Zambian educator, Author, International Speaker. I coach and educate people in Leadership Development, Diversity and Inclusion and Book Writing and Publishing.

I am passionate about leadership, especially fascinated by self-inclusion into leadership, i.e. not waiting until someone opens doors for you. Yes, this can come with a lot of rejection. However, you will never know if you do not ask, and winning is for those who try, right? It’s true. I am especially interested in how some women get to the top and what others can learn from them.

I am a PhD Researcher on the subject Migrant Women’s Self Inclusion into Leadership at De Montfort University, Leicester. My research is aligned with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agenda 2030. In particular SDG 5 and SDG 10.

I firmly believe that leading people in organisations helps top leadership teams understand the relationship between inclusive leading, managing diverse teams, human resources management and labour relations in business strategy. I focus my coaching, training, and research on the crucial role people play as the primary source of competitive advantage. In doing so, organisations that develop their social capital leverage the organisation’s humanistic visions to help them in their professional roles and decision-making.
