I'm Natasha Williams.
I’m a Chartered Manager, Business Psychologist, and Trauma-Informed Leadership Coach.
But before I was any of those things, I was a Black girl in a household where emotional safety didn’t exist. I was the quiet one who excelled at school but crumbled inside. I learned early on how to overachieve and mask pain with performance. I carried that into my career.
I built a successful surveying business turning over tens of thousands a month, but inside, I was burning out. I was surrounded by people, but felt isolated.
In boardrooms, I felt invisible. In meetings, unheard. My nervous system was always switched on, trying to prove I belonged. Healing didn’t come all at once. But I remember the moment I knew something had shifted.
I was leading a group coaching session, and for the first time, I didn’t feel the urge to prove anything. I was grounded, confident, and present. I had nothing to prove because I was finally leading from a place of wholeness.
That’s what RISE Academy is all about.
