Leadership, cultivated.
We grow leaders, schools and enterprises from the inside, beginning with self-leadership, so that the improvement continues after we have gone.
Most leadership development is installed. Very little of it takes root.
Institutions spend considerable sums on training that produces energy in the room and very little change in the corridor. The reason is rarely the content's quality. It is that capability was delivered onto ground nobody had prepared, practised on case studies rather than on live work, and left behind with no one inside the institution owning it once the provider had gone.
We work the other way round.
We learned this in the field, not in a classroom.
Our founder is the son of an Agricultural Extension Officer and the third generation of a farming family. An extension officer does not arrive with a finished answer. He walks the field with the farmer. He tests the soil in front of him rather than the soil described in a manual. He works alongside, through a season, on the farmer’s own crop. And he builds local knowledge deliberately, so that the yield improves again in the seasons after he has stopped coming.
That is how we coach. It is why our work reaches schools, enterprises and farms alike, and why we measure ourselves by what continues after we withdraw.
The Anointed Cultivation Arc
Every engagement moves through five stages, whether the client is a chief executive, a school or a cooperative.
Locate
We establish honestly where you stand, in evidence rather than assertion, and we prescribe nothing until we have.
Activate
We build capability on your live work, in your own context, rather than on case studies.
Deepen
We root the gain in coalitions, internal champions and accountability, so that it survives one person’s departure.

Sustain.
We measure against the baseline, hand over deliberately, and leave.
Establish
We prepare the ground: clarity of values, self-leadership, and the psychological safety that new capability needs in order to hold.
One Method, Applied Across Six Practice Areas
Leadership and executive coaching is where most clients begin. The remaining five areas apply the same method to adjacent parts of an institution’s life.
Leadership and Executive Coaching
Organisational Development and Change
Career Guidance, Transition and Counselling
Agribusiness and Livelihoods Advisory
Business Advisory, Registration and Compliance
School Development and Educator Growth

Led by a practitioner
Anointed Leads Resources Limited is founded and led by Tertsea Gwaza, a certified coach trained to International Coaching Federation standards, a licensed educator, and a food technologist by first training. He is a member of the Nigerian Institute of Food Science and Technology.
That combination is unusual, and it is deliberate. It is why we can hold a credible conversation with a headteacher, a smallholder cooperative and a board in the same week.

Free short courses on leadership, opening soon
We are preparing a series of short courses that teach our method rather than leadership in the abstract. They will be free. Leave your email address, and we shall tell you when the first one opens.

Start with an honest look at where you stand
Every engagement begins with a Locate conversation. There is no charge for it and it is not a sales call. We ask questions, you talk, and at the end you will see your situation more clearly whether or not you decide to work with us.
We work virtually too, so wherever you are is close enough.
