the big
five topics.

Over 15 years experience (yeah, she looks good for her age) in social entrepreneurship, youth engagement, cultural innovation and levering creative ideas for change.

Anisa works across private, charitable and cultural sectors to address the big five topics on the agenda for business for the next decade: diversity & inclusion, governance, leadership, culture and purpose.

Anisa consults with companies and leaders to unlock new thinking and drive deeper brand purpose to ultimately challenge and change what ‘business as usual’ means for organisations and for the people they serve.

Consultancy

Anisa relentlessly looks for new opportunities to grow and develop - both herself and her business. I've been proud to support her journey since she was awarded the Sky Arts Scholarship in 2016 and I was approached to mentor her. By centring 'purpose', she intelligently and creatively finds new angles to bring business and impact together both in her own projects and ideas and for the companies and clients she works with. Anisa delivers. With heart and with effectiveness.

In addition to being a board member of Beatfreeks Arts where Anisa is a dynamic and focussed chair, I have also worked with Anisa as a freelance worker on some of my work projects. I enjoy working with Anisa because she is a thoughtful contributor who brings insight and energy to the delivery process. She constantly pushes to maximise value and quality of work for the budget. She is an empathetic collaborator, working not just with tasks and ideas but also with the people involved and the particular emotional space they find themselves in.

Anisa joined the Lush Creative Showcase in 2017 to talk about unleashing creativity for social good. Anisa’s honest and energising words provided the perfect addition to the event- inspiring the audience to craft a new world whilst trying to improve the one that we have, and offering considered answers and insights on managing burnout and leading a team. Whenever I get the pleasure of working with Anisa I’m always motivated by the way that she builds on and improves ideas and asks the questions to get the most out of the conversation or situation.

Anisa's self-awareness lends itself perfectly to a journey where support and navigation is vital. She deeply understands the important balance between active listening and active participation in sessions and conversations; allowing you to reach your goals more organically and effectively. Her lived experience and personable skills make the experience more tailored, whilst her varied approach keeps engagement and energy high. She's helped me to feel more confident in my next steps as a social CEO and steer my organisation in a direction that feels right to us!

Coaching

thinking
aloud.

Anisa holds space for ‘thinking aloud’ that helps unlock jammed areas with the people she works with. She’s interested in playful and productive conversations that help individuals feel heard and able to move forwards. An experienced coach and mentor, Anisa most recently coached 16 leaders on the National Culture Reset Programme. She has also worked with the British Council and the British Embassy in Russia to train female creative entrepreneurs across Russia. Anisa is currently training towards her ILM Level 5 Certificate in Effective Coaching and Mentoring.

Anisa is available for 1-1 coaching sessions for you to have a space held where you can work through goals, challenges and opportunities in a warm and productive way. This could be a one-off session, or a custom programme of coaching sessions personally tailored to your needs. Visit Anisa’s dedicated coaching page for more information on coaching packages.
