Ubuntu means I am because we are, and because we are, you are.
It speaks to the interconnectedness of humanity and reminds us that our growth is tied to the wellbeing of those around us. In coaching, this principle is powerful, for example, thriving in a new role, culture, or environment often comes from finding your tribe and building supportive relationships. I think that when you surround yourself with people who understand and challenge you, you gain confidence, a stronger sense of belonging, and the resilience to succeed wherever you are.

Ubuntu
Ubuntu describes a set of closely related Bantu African-origin value systems that emphasise the interconnectedness of individuals with their surrounding societal and physical worlds. The Ubuntu spirit embodies the idea that “I am because you are, and you are because I am.” It reflects the belief that our individual humanity is deeply interconnected. I think in essence, it means that we thrive through our relationships with others, and no one can exist in isolation. Ubuntu promotes a sense of community, where people look after one another and prioritise collective well-being over individualism.
