Kulima [Coo-LEE-ma] is a Kiswahili word which means 'to cultivate' and speaks of how you prepare the land to enable healthy growth
We hold onto the fact that in an East African context this is something that is done together, by people who know and are committed to one another
The mission of Kulima is to support healthy organisations and flourishing people. We value people through cultivating life-giving spaces, whether that's on an individual or organisational level.
We offer a variety of activities which allow individuals and organisations to reflect, listen, be refreshed, see what change is needed and how to start.
Most of these are not things to do alone, they take shared commitment and shared effort. Teams are shown to be strengthened through diversity as long as you put the effort in to really knowing one another and creating psychological safety. Wherever you are currently at, Kulima can help you along the way.
Of course organisations exist to do or make something, and productivity is important. However what are the things that make you perform best at work? With more than two decades of management experience, we are convinced that valuing people, if actually done rather than just spoken about, is transformative and this is why it is embedded in all Kulima does. If you feel the same, we have a range of practical tools and courses to help you further translate your aspirations into action.
How often do you feel that the pressures in life are keeping you running on a metaphorical treadmill, with little time to reflect or connect? Is this happening to you on an individual or an organisational level, or both? It's such a common experience and isolation, overwhelm and loss of perspective almost inevitably follow. Fractured relationships and poor decision-making are also not uncommon when this is our environment.
Creating space to pause, reflect, connect, step back, share ideas, and dream is life-giving and Kulima can help you do this.
