This is only possible through Leaders who have clarity of direction, and with teams that are fully aligned and committed to their goals. I enjoy working with Leaders and teams that are striving to grow themselves, their teams, and their businesses. I believe there is value in keeping things simple and pragmatic – Leaders should focus their energy on tackling the big challenges that enable exponential growth or improvement. What I like most is to see the people I work with and their businesses succeed, and to work with Leaders who want to be better Leaders. What I hate most is wasted opportunities, and not having the courage to make bold decisions and take decisive action.

ANISHA
What is the value that I add to JP/area of specialization?
My passion is to work with Business Leaders who are serious about transforming their organisations through building a company’s culture in a way that empowers the organisation to thrive through its people and teams. I truly believe that leadership is not about being in charge but rather about taking care of those in your charge so that they are happy and emotionally healthy. This does not mean that leaders need to be soft on their people, rather, leaders need to be humble, demanding and ignite curiosity. A thriving organisation is one where the values spiral into everything that is done and where there is meaning and purpose behind the work.
What do you need to know about me?
As an innovative, practical, solutions driven individual, I adopt an engaging approach to enabling business change. I believe each organisation is as unique as the individuals that make it operate, hence one-size-fits-all solutions would never deliver the return on investment anticipated. I am thus resolute on the co-creation of solutions and ensuring that solutions implemented are sustainable in-house.
I am a registered Industrial Psychologist, holding a BA, BA(Hons) and MA in Industrial Psychology from the University of the Witwatersrand and an MBA through Henley Business School. I have built my career over the last 14 years working in various industries, specifically financial services, travel and education. I have also successfully built and managed my own private practice, Unnati Consulting. Over my years in Corporate and in Consulting, I have developed deep expertise in talent and performance management and leadership development.
Prior to joining Joint Prosperity, I was the Chief Human Capital Executive at Fundi. My contribution at Fundi was my work with the CEO in designing and implementing a turnaround strategy for the organisation. In my capacity at Fundi, I successfully led an organisational restructure, designed and implemented a culture transformation process to drive high performance through innovation and collaboration, and establish a Learning and Development Academy.
Words the team use to describe me?
Inspiring, loyal, value-led, quietly confident, strategic, creative, hungry for growth, caring and a confidant to many.

I’m grounded through my faith and believe that we are here to create meaning and value. I know that the bad times shape us and the good times energise us. To quote a random Pinterest picture: “This too shall pass. When things are bad, remember: It won’t always be this way. Take one day at a time.
