Leading Change from Within
A deep dive into: who you are, your work, and your leadership
As social justice leaders, we choose to believe a better world is possible. To this end, we have channelled our energies into various endeavours to transform the systems we live within that do not serve the whole.
Yet, there is often a disconnection between working on justice for others and working on healing for oneself. We have to concede that social change cannot happen without healing, and healing cannot happen without justice. It requires us to recognise that the wellbeing of all is tied to our individual wellbeing. We, therefore, have to equally evolve the ways that we show up in our everyday life.
Have you ever felt…?
Disconnected from your own needs and desires (not sure who the person in the mirror is anymore)?
Overwhelmed and stressed because you give all of your energy resources to do the work that impacts others, but do not have enough energy for the things that bring you joy, hope and happiness?
That your health is suffering because the work of changing the world is endless, often thankless, and has left you tired and empty?
That you are just doing-doing-doing and have lost connection to the purpose of what you are doing?
That helping others is no longer satisfying?
That financially you are just getting by?
That you want a change, or are on the verge of change, but you are unsure how to move forward?
If any of this feels like you, I would like to invite you into the Leading Change from Within program.
For the past 10 years, I have worked with social justice leaders to help them access parts of themselves that embody self-love, nurturing and growth. With this 3 month course, I want to support YOU to deepen your impact in your own life and in the world!
What you will get from this program
Connect and cultivate relationships with other social justice leaders and activists, responsible coaches, healers and leaders;
Get a better understanding of how systems of injustice play out in your own life so that you can actively take steps to confront or deal with them;
An important reminder is that the “personal is political”. Therefore the focus on our individual wellbeing is not separate from cultures and systems we interact with and are trying to transform.
A personal message from Shamillah Wilson
I created this program because I SO love transformative work. My own journey of awakening to the responsibility of doing the inner wellbeing work has enriched my work with youth, as well as leaders, across the globe. I have been able to apply the medicine I got from my own journey to supporting leaders who seem to have been disconnected from their inner centre. I could support them in creating happy, healthy and wealthy lives. I am an activist, a coach, and a catalyst for personal growth. Spirituality, social justice, as well as what it takes to engage in entrepreneurship consciously, are intertwined. In 2017, I published a book called: “Waking Up: How I woke up my Inner Activist to Live a Bigger Life.”
You might be coming to this program looking for clear answers – I don’t have those. What I do have is an intention to facilitate the kind of experience where you can find your own answers to your questions, or maybe find more questions and connect with other people with common values. This work isn’t easy, but is so worth it when we come together around our visions for social justice and healing.
The Content
The course consists of 8 modules that will take you through a process of unearthing unhealthy patterns while supporting you to make shifts and decisions that better align with your values and commitments. The modules include:
1.
MODULE ONE
Developing critical awareness
Through surfacing awareness of values and mapping of potential biases, blind spots and conditioned beliefs, we create the foundation for self-management and personal wellbeing.

Embracing the shadow
Learn more about your unconscious or hidden parts of our personality, the parts we usually either reject or refuse to acknowledge. Work with the shadow to help unleash power by embracing all of who YOU are.
3.

Improve mental and emotional health
Learn to consciously shift away from negative emotions and how to boost overall physical, mental and emotional health.

MODULE EIGHT
Leading with courage and determination
Learn to powerfully lead others from a place of vulnerability, authenticity and courage. Integrate lessons of personal transformation to your activism and leadership to help you achieve what you desire in your personal life and in your life’s work.
Integration
Having all of the right information will not get us where we desire to go. We have to move beyond mental knowledge and embody understanding. This isn’t just about being able to talk about it, you’ve got to be it.
Within the program, at minimum, there’s support through the private Facebook group and live community calls via Zoom.
Outside of the program, you’re encouraged to seek out the moments where you can integrate the learnings from the program in whatever way is most present in your relationships, communities or work.
The Edge
What makes Leading Change from Within transformative isn’t so much the content or the integration opportunities. It is how you choose to engage with what’s here.
Weekly Time Investment
Participating in this 3-month group training program requires a minimum investment of 3 hours per week for assignment and ‘growth work’. This includes a 2-hour bi-weekly group coaching/training call, plus monthly individual coaching calls.
