Nana-Efua Lawson
Nana joined RISE in 2020. She is a Chartered Psychologist specialising in leadership coaching, design and facilitation of leadership development programmes, team coaching, senior team effectiveness, and talent development. She is passionate about Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging. She has a particular interest in Women in Leadership, Minorities in Leadership and Evolutionary Leadership.
Nana works with people from the inside out - with the whole person - cultivating better self-awareness and authenticity. She creates safe spaces in which people, individually or collectively, can be fully witnessed and feel seen and heard. With increased self-awareness and system awareness, leaders can align their own life purpose, meaning and values with those of the organisations that they lead. She gets a real buzz from witnessing leaders make shifts to effectively lead themselves, their teams and their organisations in more purposeful and sustainable ways.
Nana is Ghanaian by descent but made her home on the somewhat cooler shores of Britain as a teenager. She has lived and delivered successful global projects in an eclectic cross-section of cultures across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the USA. Embracing life wholeheartedly, Nana’s interests are many and varied. She’s constantly discovering new ones, but does admit that her enthusiasm makes up for her skill in some! Oh, and her favourite colour is orange.
