Sarisha Naidoo, founder, Lumina Strategies
<h2>Who I Am</h2>
<ul>
<li>Former lawyer, trained to think with precision, discipline, and rigour.</li>
<li>Founder of Lumina Strategies, created to help leaders and boards move from vision to execution.</li>
<li>Trustee of the Be Kind Movement, Non-Executive Director, and member of the Institute of Directors.</li>
<li>Mentor and coach with eight organisations, supporting leaders, founders, and executives across sectors.</li>
<li>Trainer and speaker on AI, leadership, emotional intelligence, and governance.</li>
<li>Recognised by peers and clients alike for creating clarity where others see complexity.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Why I Do This</h2>
I founded Lumina Strategies after seeing a repeated pattern. In corporates, reports gathered dust. In charities, founders burned out. The problem was rarely vision , it was execution. Leaders knew what they wanted but lacked alignment, capacity, or momentum.
Lumina was built to close that gap. Our work combines the rigour of law, the clarity of consulting, and the humanity of emotional intelligence. We don’t leave behind reports that never get read — we create strategies that are lived, acted on, and sustained.
<h2>Frameworks That Shape Our Work</h2>
Our approach is grounded in practical frameworks that leaders keep using long after the session ends:
<ul>
<li>DAC™ — Discipline, Action, Consistency → the habits that sustain real progress.</li>
<li>ASKED™ — Awareness, Strategy, Knowledge, Execution, Development → a cycle that moves leaders from reflection to delivery.</li>
<li>LUMINA™ Model → clarity, alignment, and measurable outcomes.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Our Six Signature Services</h2>
<ol>
<li>Consulting &amp; Strategy Helping boards and leadership teams simplify complexity. Aligning vision with practical execution. Delivering clarity and measurable progress.</li>
<li>AI Integration Guiding boards and teams through practical, ethical adoption. Cutting through jargon to deliver tools people can actually use. Ensuring AI creates value without losing the human element.</li>
<li>Facilitation &amp; Strategy Days Designing retreats and sessions that move beyond discussion. Creating space for reflection, structured debate, and decisions. Ending with clear priorities and ownership.</li>
<li>Training Interactive, reflective, and practical workshops. Topics include AI, leadership, emotional intelligence, and strategy. Tailored for boards, teams, and leaders at all levels.</li>
<li>Coaching &amp; Mentoring One-to-one and group coaching focused on clarity, resilience, and EQ. Long-term mentoring for founders and leaders facing growth and pressure. Experience mentoring at eight organisations across sectors.</li>
<li>Speaking &amp; Thought Leadership Keynotes and talks on AI, leadership, and emotional intelligence. Blending lived experience with insight and practical tools. Designed to inspire action, not just reflection.</li>
</ol>
