Hi, I'm Carlisha Bradley!
Leadership isn’t just about titles. It’s about owning your voice, leading with clarity, and creating cultures where people can thrive.
I’ve had the honor of leading diverse teams to award-winning outcomes, shaping the lives of over 700,000 students, inspiring sold-out audiences as an international keynote speaker, and empowering more than 9,000 young women in 60+ countries through global social enterprises I founded.
But my journey hasn’t been without tension.
I know what it feels like to walk into rooms where I was the only person of color, doubted, overlooked, and asked to prove that I belonged. At times, I began to question if my voice really mattered.
However, those moments didn’t break me. They pushed me.
I finally stopped waiting for permission. I stopped performing. I started redefining leadership on my terms in a way that was rooted, strategic, and real.
Leadership Coaching, Training, And Development Propelled My Career And Expertise.
But I quickly noticed that many of those experiences weren’t built with me in mind. They were often designed to fit leaders into molds that neglected the nuance of lived experience and the cultural intelligence required to lead today’s teams.
So, What I could not find, I created.
There was no roadmap for leaders like us. Those driven by purpose, navigating pressure, and still wondering if it’s safe to show up as we are.
Now, I do this work for the leaders who are ready to lead with clarity, voice, and presence that reflects their truth.
My frameworks center authenticity, clarity, and culture-shifting leadership, not just performance metrics. As a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, I coach executives, advise organizations, and train leadership teams to communicate with intention and lead purposefully.
Whether you’re an executive ready to evolve, a founder leading a bold mission, or a company committed to developing leaders and shifting culture, I’m here to help you magnify your message and move your vision forward.
Women Empowering Nations provides exposure, development, and mentorship to underrepresented girls to accelerate their path to social impact leadership.

I was an avid Black holiday Barbie collector. My mom made me keep them all in the box, which defeated the purpose of the gift to me. They are still boxed in an attic somewhere.
People don't believe me, but I really am an introvert. I'm an outgoing introvert.
I'm a twin mom who never in a million years would have imaged this would be true.
