Global Cultural Connector

Transformational Leadership, Strategist, Coach & Speaker

Greetings!

I’m Hermence, founder of uBuntuSpeaks, a global leadership and workforce development firm rooted in the South African philosophy of UBUNTU—I am because we are.


With over 20 years of experience in leadership development, cultural intelligence, and global public health, I’ve worked with international development organizations and multinational corporations around the world. My journey from rural communities to global boardrooms has taught me one powerful truth: brave leadership is not about having all the answers. It’s about creating space for others to thrive.

APPROACH: PRINCIPLES OF UBUNTU LEADERSHIP

I have learned that in life, we grow by giving and not getting, and it is in our giving that we receive. Two of the core principles that guide my work are: 


  • Shared humanity: Every person matters
  • Collective success: We succeed by lifting others
     

When we honor the dignity of others, we strengthen our own capacity to lead with empathy, clarity, and purpose.

GUIDE LEADERS WHO WANT TO LEAD DIFFERENTLY

Through leadership coaching, cultural intelligence development, psychological safety work, and Positive Intelligence (PQ) coaching, I along with my amazing team of collaborative partners support leaders facing change, burnout, and cultural gaps. Together, we create cultures grounded in trust, belonging, innovation, and resilience where people feel safe to speak up, contribute, and thrive.

LEADERSHIP IS DEEPLY PERSONAL

It’s about how we listen, connect, respond, and show up when it matters most. I don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions; I offer a strategic partnership grounded in humility, wisdom, and global insight. My work blends research-based strategies with lived experience to help you move from surviving leadership to leading with intention and legacy. 


If you’re ready to lead with more courage, cultural awareness, and connection, and build something bigger than yourself, you’re in the right place.  Let’s begin!


With Respect,


Hermence Matsotsa
