Kanada is an Associate Executive Coach with Common Purpose Charitable Trust since 2010.With her colleague Chiz Williams, Kanada founded Kin, with the purpose of strengthening grassroots community makers, youth workers, activists, artists, environmentalists, social workers - all of those who care for their communities often with very little funding, training or support. Kanada began consulting in 1995. Her approach is systemic and pragmatic, intuitive and results-oriented. It is grounded in her understanding of the transformational power of presence; the recognition that we are not only physical and mental beings, but also emotional and spiritual ones; and her appreciation that at the heart of all successful change initiatives are personal responsibility, awareness and choice.Her background in the visual arts, opera and theatre - directing, leading community theatre projects, teaching improvisation and coaching actors, singers and musicians primarily in the UK informs her approach to facilitating change. In 1996 she was invited to bring her skills as an artist, director, improviser and facilitator into the realm of organisation and people development. Kanada is an ICF qualified coach. She is currently training in Systemic Leadership Coaching & Constellations. https://www.shine.squarespace.com

    I'm delighted to be working with Hardwick Estate as they transition from private ownership to a charitable structure with community at the core; mentoring and guiding the family, and working with the community to discover and try new ways of 'thinking together', building horizontal leadership, experimenting with dynamic, participatory decision-making processes that are both inclusive and effective.

    It's five years since we embarked on the leadership & culture transformation at Riverford, catalysed by their decision to go into Employee Ownership - the 5th anniversary in June 2023 celebrating it as a 100% employee owned B Corp business. It's been a remarkable and rewarding journey, and a pleasure to be work in real partnership with people of such integrity in a great organisation - in particular with Director of Culture & Sustainability Charlotte Tickle, Managing Director Rob Haward and Founder Guy Singh-Watson. By the end of the project I have worked with everyone in a leadership role across the business - from Founder to Team Leader. What an inspiring bunch of people.
