Chule Gobodo is a compelling keynote speaker, Ubuntu strategist and founder of Ubuntu Growth Coaching, inspiring organisations to rethink leadership, belonging and the transformative power of human connection. With over 15 years’ experience in inclusion, storytelling, behavioural change and organisational development, she challenges conventional thinking and demonstrates how the philosophy of Ubuntu – “I am because we are” – can become a powerful driver of organisational culture and performance.
Through thought-provoking insights, authentic storytelling and practical frameworks, Chule equips leaders and teams to build trust, strengthen collaboration, embrace shared responsibility and create courageous workplace cultures where people feel valued, connected and empowered to thrive.
Drawing on her background as a trained filmmaker, her expertise in the neuroscience of storytelling and her certification as an ISO 30415 Diversity & Inclusion Professional, Chule brings a distinctive blend of creative thinking, cultural wisdom and business insight to the stage. Her work has touched leading organisations including the UN OHCHR, Disney, Procter & Gamble, Doctors Without Borders and the Graça Machel Trust.
Her message is both powerful and practical: when we repair the connections between people, we unlock the collective potential to transform cultures, strengthen performance and create lasting change.
