1:1 Coaching for Women of Color Leaders

It’s time to start leading a more authentic, audacious and courageous life that you design.

We work with Women & Femmes of Color Leaders like you who want more for yourself, and are ready to evolve more intentionally in your leadership, career and life. 

If you’re ready to work with coaches who understand your unique lived experiences and journey as a WOC, and take into account the impact of systemic oppression on leaders of color and other historically marginalized people -- we’re ready to be part of your radical support system, friend.

Our 1:1 coaching are personalized programs designed for leaders who want help:

  • Activating your voice to confidently self-advocate, take up space and show up fully as your *real* authentic self in every area of your life.

  • Creating more financial abundance by healing your relationship with money and scarcity, claiming the value of your expertise and confidently negotiating and getting your next level promotion, pay raise or business growth. 

  • Creating more spaciousness, time and impactful relationships in and out of work, by setting strong boundaries and expectations from an empowered and grounded place.

  • Getting clear on your values, leadership purpose, and moving forward in resonant action towards your vision and true ‘wanting’ in your work and life.

  • Breaking out of self-limiting beliefs and let go of any perspectives and behaviors that hold you back (#RIP to the perfectionist, people pleaser, conflict-avoider, controller, hyper-vigilant and hyper-achiever in you!).

  • Giving yourself permission to let go of a professional path that no longer serves you, work that doesn’t bring you joy, and mediocre dreams that might be rooted in societal expectations or the dreams someone else projected onto you.

  • Navigating life's inevitable changes, ups and downs, and deepening your mental endurance and practices to center your wellness, self-care, self-compassion and self-love.

  • Unapologetically and wholeheartedly celebrating your story, all your intersectional identities, your worthiness and your vision.

  • Changing the world and making the impact that you want to make in your lifetime.

  • …Any of that you?  If you’re aligned with the above, we’d love to elevate you. Let’s grow.

Our philosophy on coaching…

We do what we do because we believe that our world would be a better, brighter, more equitable and liberated place if leaders like you rise up.

We believe that leadership embraces all that you are -- your unique gifts, expression, intersectional identities, history and journey.

Our coaching is rooted in love and integrity, and the belief that you can be a caring, curious, compassionate, vulnerable and ambitious leader, without disowning and hiding away parts of yourself to be accepted and ‘safe’.

We care about learning how to hold, process and navigate your fears of failure, being judged and causing harm or pain to others, instead of avoiding it at all costs.

We know that you are 1000% worthy of achieving your big, ambitious and juicy dreams and goals, and that it’s not worth it if you’re burnt out, overextended and overwhelmed -- no resonant, values-aligned career and life is worth the cost of your wellness, joy and peace.

We are all leaders in every area of our lives, and can lead from our wholeness.

 

How we coach:

  • We meet you where you are and co-create the support you need in this season 

  • We invite you to bring all your intersectional identities and explore how it impacts your daily life

  • We understand the importance of making space for your healing and restoration

  • It’s not our job to make decisions for you or tell you how to live your life. You know yourself best and our goal is to create space for you to make your own clear, resonant choices that are rooted in your truth and values.

This is not a one-size-fits-all program:

Growth and transformation in each season will be different for each of us and our clients. For some, it may be activating their voices and negotiating for their professional and business goals. For another, it could be taking intentional time to pause and deepen healing. And for others, it could be getting clear and defining their leadership style, trusting their intuition and standing firm in their decisions.

That’s why our time together is highly customized to cater to your unique challenges, goals and what you need most to build the foundation for sustainable change.

Our Coaches

 

Nadia De Ala


Hey, I’m Nadia, and I’m so happy you’re here! 

I’m a leadership coach for women and femmes of color and the founder of Real You Leadership.

I’ve coached over 200+ BIPOC women & femme leaders to reclaim their life direction and show up as their REAL, authentic selves in every aspect of their life and in every space they occupy, through one-on-one coaching and by leading collective community spaces with our group coaching programs.

I center my top two values in everything I do: love & integrity. And it’s an honor and delight to help clients like you choose to live a values-aligned life that truly lights you up inside.

Together, we’ll disrupt any behaviors and thought-patterns rooted in fear, self-limiting beliefs and inner-hating narratives that keep pushing you to go down a path that you know deep down is not for you.

When you work with me, you’re committing to take intentional steps towards your real dreams (not your parents dreams, nor society’s expectations of you), to connect with your creativity and passion, and trust your intuition and your voice every single step of the way.

I celebrate you in your wholeness today, just as you are. Now, let’s grow, expand and follow your big, juicy and audacious dreams.

Hi love, I’m excited that your curiosity lead you to my bio. 

I’m an ICF Certified healing-centered coach, and it has been an honor and joy coaching with Real You Leadership since 2021. 

I’m committed to helping my clients become the person they crave to be. Think Morpheus to Neo. This is your computer talking, and I want you to wake up.

I’m a renaissance woman in that I’m multi-passionate, multi-talented and constantly listening to Beyoncé. I love trying new things and failed a lot. And it’s all part of my own constant self-discovery. 

I want to help you fall in love with all parts of yourself, even the ones your aunties and inner hater voices shame you about. I want to help you build a home for yourself in your body and nurture her daily. I want to help you reconnect with your intuition and your ancestors as a source of pride and generational healing and wisdom. 

I’ll be your co-captain and intuitive navigator as you adventure into yourself and expand possibilities of where you want your life to go. And during our time together, I’ll challenge you to do that thing you’ve said you wanted to do with abundant love and belief that you can do it.

As you dare to take up space and advocate for yourself out there in the world, during our sessions, I’ll hold space for you to reflect, celebrate, and identify what to refine or to leave behind in order to move towards showing up as 100% your authentic, powerful self.

Ready to take the red pill, and see where our coaching can go?

Frequently Asked Questions

 
  • A Real You Leadership coach will email you with any of the following: with your match, with any additional questions if needed, a link to book a chemistry call.

  • During our call, we will talk about your unique goals and how we can align as your coach.

    If we determine that we are a good fit, we’ll take you through the next steps to get started.

    If not, we won’t pressure you or get salesy. We understand that this is an important decision and want the best for you.

  • We expect clients to prepare a topic and to make any necessary preparations to be fully present for our session.

    In the beginning of the session, we will invite you to ground, and we’ll co-create what we both need to feel safe and supported during the session. We will then ask you what you want coaching on and what you’d like out of the session. You are always at choice to choose, amend, update your topic and our coaching destination.

    Most of our time spent will be exploring, gaining clarity, processing, bringing awareness, checking for alignment, checking for any inner haters, challenging limiting beliefs, noticing how your body reacts, inviting you to connect to your inner wisdom, celebrating your growth and healing, and anything else you feel called to.

    We’ll guide you as the coach during this process through asking you open ended questions and reflecting back what you’ve shared. As your coach, we will also hold your goals you’ve set for yourself and connect back to them during our sessions.

    Towards the end of the session, we will invite you to commit to some kind of action to integrate what you’ve learned during your session.

    Our goal is for you to come to your own resonant decisions and for you reclaim your inner power and wisdom. We’re here to help you create a special, healing and safe container to connect back to yourself.

  • Our coaching packages are 3 or 6 months long. Each Month you have two 1-hr bi-weekly sessions. Prior to each of your sessions, you will need to prepare a topic and will be invited to fill out a pre-session reflection.

    Coaching is an energetic investment. You are getting radical support to take action, make changes, break cycles, make space to heal past trauma, step out of your comfort zone. It can be a lot, AND your coach will be there for you to hold and witness you through your incremental growth and transformation. We will celebrate you each step of the way.
