the work

THE STARTING POINT:

Our briefs rarely come fully formed because they can be messy or hard to articulate. Perhaps you don’t yet fully understand the issues. Sometimes you know things need to improve but you don’t have a sense of the destination. You might be a lone voice championing change or you may have the backing of all your peers. You may feel confident in reaching out to us, or totally out of your depth. All are welcome here.

What New Ways can do for you:

  • Help you develop into confident leaders of Equity & Belonging

  • Support you to become an anti-racist organisation

  • Help your under-represented leaders sustainably grow their impact

  • Address ‘us’ and ‘them’ cracks in your workplace and find new inclusive ways to grow together

  • Upskill your leaders to confidently lead with compassionate, inclusive leadership

  • Develop your point of view and vision for impact as you focus more on social issues as a business

  • Help you to become a thought leader in your sector on issues you want to stand up for

  • Support you to grow a culture of courageous allyship, transparency and self responsibility

  • Intentionally build a culture that takes words on a page into everyday behaviours so you truly walk your talk

The Journey

The Journey ~

Know your truth

This is an important start for every new project because each workplace has a unique set of belonging enablers and blockers. We help leaders to see their organisational truths by creating space to deeply listen to everyone’s voice, skilfully illuminating root causes, with the wisdom to turn insight to authentic solutions. It’s a start point with real power to create a sense of togetherness, to energise and inspire teams for what we can become now with this honest beginning.

Reimagine the future

Purposefully defining who you want to become with clarity on the impact you want to create are essentials to establish so they can guide your progress. We want you to think big, stay hopeful and brave in making meaningful change in creative and visionary ways. Through bespoke vision workshops and experiential creative journeys, we co-create visions for change that focus on systemic change, create positive legacy and shape a future everyone feels proud of.

Update & upskill

We upskill people to have the confidence and capability to participate  in and lead progressive, anti-racist and inclusive organisations. Our learning programmes help to upgrade your culture, behaviours and practices so they support belonging centric businesses, by focusing on long term, individual and collective growth. We support people to challenge and expand their world views, grow 21st century levels of self-awareness and develop leadership and culture  that supports change. 

Make it real

We ensure that there is actionable strategy, culture frameworks and leadership infrastructure in place so that your foundations are strong. Together with your teams we support you with initiatives to build your employer brand and employee experience that is experienced both inside and outside of your company and builds a reputation as people who genuinely walk their walk.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY…

  • “New Ways have done an amazing job in helping us (re)define our values, develop a programme to create a more inclusive environment with a strong sense of belonging for our team. Letesia has a unique approach to this kind of work, has a great strategic skillset, and above all is a really (really) nice person.”


    – Victor Bakhuis, CEO Protein Agency Group


  • “Letesia has been a go to advisor, consultant and coach for us over the last 4 years, from defining our purpose, to developing our values, to coaching our team. Her sharp, soft and progressive approach to strategic development has always had a long-lasting impact in our company. In her new venture at New Ways, she is working to bring change at pace to organisations who are ready to embrace the future and we’ve continued to work together to help find our thought leading space as an agency working with urban culture and marketing. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.”

    – Theo Gentilli, Founder, Warm Street


  • “The team began working with New Ways in 2021 and Letesia has coached, supported and guided us on our anti-racism journey throughout the year. The nature of the work required personal and in-depth commitment from the whole team, and we felt really supported during what were often intense sessions. As well as our time together as a group, she worked with team members individually to ensure everyone was moving forward, overcoming challenging blocks along the way. Though we know we're not at the end of our anti-racism journey, with Letesia's help we've made important progress.”


    – Su Moore, CEO, The Jo Cox Foundation

  • "Letesia has been an illuminating forcefield, helping us reflect, think and grow around culture and the vision of our impact on the world at large. She’s helped us connect as a leadership team and is a hugely passionate, empathetic and acutely smart person who is a huge inspiration to work with”

    – Howard Sullivan, Co Founder & Creative Director, Your Studio

  • "Letesia has been an excellent partner to work with. She has supported the whole organisation on a learning journey starting with deep listening and then a bespoke learning programme to explore issues of racism from both personal and organisational perspectives. Together we’ve developed new inclusive values and a framework to ensure that our commitment to anti-racism is active and embedded in our new strategy and ways of working. She’s a skilled leadership coach, able to help us develop individually and as a team, in ways that keep us connected to the charity’s values”

    – Sally Daghlian OBE, CEO, Praxis

  • Letesia has done really fantastic work with us at SignHealth and I cannot recommend her highly enough. The deep work that she has done with our Exec team and also with our Board of Trustees has set us on a path that we would not have found if it were not for New Ways support. She has a style that is respectful and honest and creates safe space for people to discover equity, diversity and inclusion in a way that makes sense for them and their lived experience. At SignHealth, we work at the intersection of Deaf people’s experience with every other aspect of their identity and Letesia has evolved her approach to be truly inclusive, working with us to develop resources that we hope will benefit people across the Deaf community and beyond.

    – James Watson-O’Neill, CEO, Signhealth
