The Wallflower Academy helps organisations create cultures where people feel safe to contribute, confident to be themselves and able to perform at their best.
Through speaking, leadership development and strategic consulting, we help organisations unlock the power of authenticity, connection and belonging.
Why This Matters
Most organisations focus on performance. Few focus on the conditions that make performance possible.
When people feel pressure to hide parts of who they are there is a cost to self esteem, energy and ultimately performance.
At The Wallflower Academy, we help individuals, leaders and organisations create cultures where people can contribute fully, not just fit in. The result is happier, more engaged teams, and organisations which are more innovative and future ready.

Meet our Founder
'I often felt like a wallflower in my career, not quite fitting in, being a completely different person at home with my friends & family.
The constant trying to be someone else, mirroring someone else's behaviours & values - seeing it as a role model of success; was mentally draining.'
Shivani Uberoi
TEDx speaker, author of Unlocking Authenticity and founder of The Wallflower Academy.
After more than 20 years working across finance, leadership and inclusion, Shivani founded The Wallflower Academy to help organisations create workplaces where people feel safe to be themselves and perform at their best. She founded 3 employee networks during her work at Sky connecting thousands of people across the organisation, and has supported the England & Wales Cricket Board with creating and developing an EDI strategy, as well as growing 5 employee networks across the game. Connection is always at the heart of the work that she does.
Her work has reached thousands of leaders across the UK and she has partnered with organisations including Rightmove, PepsiCo, Virgin Media O2, BMW, Sky and the ECB.
