Ignite

Ignite is an award-winning leadership development organisation harnessing the people potential of organisations to propel business success. In early 2019, Inge Walters and Donna Rachelson, who shared a passion for the advancement of women in the workplace, were brought together by a leading financial institution to design and deliver a holistic women’s development program for them. Through the power of partnership and collaboration IgniteHer was created. In the 5years since, Donna, Inge and the organisations they were partnering with realized that their work was just as relevant and needed for leaders across Africa. And so, Ignite was born. At Ignite, we combine intentional conversations, meaningful community-building and courage with robust business expertise, extensive leadership development experience and a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities of the African continent, we guide leaders to think differently to navigate their context, build their confidence and cultivate the right connections while caring for self and others. Our impactful development interventions have been designed to empower all individuals in the organisation – from junior to middle management, senior and exco level - to identify their ideal path to growth, unleash their full potential and equip them with strategies to navigate their career paths with intention and confidence. We embrace the richness of diversity as a catalyst for innovation, creativity, and success. Together with our partners, we are igniting movements that break down barriers, build supportive environments and reshape the future for talent and organisations.
