About Sanita Pukite
Sanita Pukite.
Executive Leadership Coach,
Team & Group Facilitator, Speaker.
I partner with future-ready leaders to navigate complexity, lead with grounded presence, and create transformational impact that leaves a lasting legacy.
Together, we build the inner clarity, relational depth, and strategic influence needed to lead through pressure, complexity, and change.
Whether you’re stepping into a bigger role, navigating a high-stakes transition, or driving impact across systems, I create spaces where reflection sparks clarity, presence fuels action, and resilience becomes your competitive edge..
Why I do what I do
Having led teams and brands across 55+ countries, and then pivoted into a purpose-driven portfolio career, I know what it takes to lead from the inside out. That journey re-ignited my passion for helping leaders be seen with courage, connect with authenticity, influence with integrity, and stay grounded under pressure.
What sets me apart
What sets me apart is how I connect strategy with psychology, and results with real human insight.
With 20+ years of global leadership experience, I understand the pressures leaders face. I bring cultural fluency, practical business acumen, and a deep understanding of human behaviour to help leaders lead with clarity, presence, and courage.
My approach blends proven strategy, powerful coaching, and experiential learning to unlock bold decisions, stronger relationships, and lasting impact.
My Values and Beliefs
I believe real leadership starts from within.
It’s not about titles, perfection, or only performance.
It’s about showing up with clarity, courage, empathy and conviction when it matters most.
I value presence over polish, depth over noise, and meaningful impact over surface-level success.
I care about building trust, not just delivering results, and about leading with both strategy and heart.
I’m here to help leaders grow. To lead with purpose.
To influence with integrity. To thrive without losing themselves in the process.
The world doesn’t need more polished performers.
It needs more grounded, reflective, and self-aware humans - ready to lead from the inside out.
