This is the show where game-changing women drop the filter and tell the truth about what it really takes to lead. We spotlight the raw, unpolished stories of dynamic women — especially women of color — who’ve had to fight for every seat, every win, and every piece of peace they’ve earned in business, sports, entrepreneurship, and beyond.

Silos are

Destroying

Organizational Culture

Ditch the silos and embrace a powerhouse approach! Forget segregating DEI, employee wellness, sustainability, and customer experience upgrades. It’s time to fuse them together seamlessly into a kick-ass environment that shouts, “We’re all about out people, our community, and making the world better. No BS, just results!

WHY RISHA?

FOR OVER 25 YEARS, I HAVE HELPED HUNDREDS OF ORGANIZATIONS CATALYZE CHANGE IN THEIR CULTURES. The first half of my life, I was a baller who shot my way to the Division One level. The second half of my life, I’ve been grindin’ it out in business. Basketball taught me everything about culture and team dynamics. My innovative and edgy DEI infused solutions facilitate honest,
authentic conversations about culture, including organizational chaos, leadership, team cohesion, unconscious bias and inclusion. As your culture coach, my goal is to lead audiences to a new place of respect, understanding, authenticity, perspective, and inclusion without placing blame, increasing judgment or encouraging guilt. The end result is an energized and connected culture that generates better performance, and sales growth.

Be Better Than Your BS Video Series

Online Micro-Learning for Busy Professionals

2020 was a pivotal year for all of us. Like so many others, I transitioned to virtual speaking and consulting and while I wasn’t excited about the change, it offered a badass opportunity to connect with my audiences in an interactive way.

As such, we were able to gather data from over 150,000 employees across the United States and abroad. That knowledge has been applied to all of our E-Learning content and provided to you.

Yes. You read that correctly! I’ve built a professional development program that sparks personal growth and spurs organizational change based upon information from people just like you.

“The Be Better Than Your BS™ Video Series was exactly what our team needed. We were looking for professional development that is on-going, motivational and educational—something that could help us build a more connected and stronger culture—and this series is delivering.

Risha’s approach is authentic, relatable, and effective. The videos are short enough to fit into our busy schedules but impactful enough to spark real, meaningful cultural shifts. It will help our teams to think more critically, communicate more openly, and show up for each other in a whole new way.

This isn’t just another training—it’s real change. It’s the kind of learning that lasts.”
