“My wish for you is joy. When you wish someone joy, you wish peace, love, prosperity, health, happiness… all the good things.”

– Maya Angelou

Hello and a heartfelt welcome! I’m Basia (pronounced Ba-sha).

I am wholeheartedly embracing a vibrant life, driven by my fervent passions: 1) empowering emerging and prospective leaders in healthcare, government, or nonprofit sectors to cultivate authenticity and lead with heart, daring to implement bold ideas that foster significant change, 2) inspiring organizations to unleash their full potential and elevate their teams to new heights, and 3) savoring a life filled with enriching travels, memorable adventures, and treasuring every small joy along the way.

Like many of you, my days are filled to the brim, incredibly bustling as an entrepreneur and CEO of Spirenza Consulting. Yet, there’s something profoundly rewarding about steering your own ship—it’s absolutely exhilarating!

My journey to this new chapter is profoundly shaped by two and a half decades of rich experiences across health care, government, and not-for-profit sectors. My heart fills with pride as I reflect on my time spearheading transformative health system reforms and crafting intricate strategic plans involving multiple stakeholders. Each success was only possible due to the incredible teams who stood with me, their dedication as unwavering as my own. Their support fuelled my passion and determination, making every challenge a shared victory and every success, a collective celebration.

Fueling team excellence and pioneering extraordinary achievements are at the very heart of my passions. I am deeply dedicated to mentoring emerging and future leaders to embrace authenticity and lead with compassion, infused with groundbreaking ideas that create substantial impacts. This has been the cornerstone of numerous successful outcomes I’ve orchestrated.

As we move towards 2024, I am excited about unveiling a revolutionary leadership model alongside a supportive “ecosystem” for these ascending leaders—a platform designed to unlock their utmost capabilities. Recently, I introduced an Authentic Leader Workbook, a pivotal resource tailored to guide leaders toward embracing a heart-centered approach, enriching their fulfillment, and amplifying their influence. Explore the workbook and embark on your journey here.

Life for me is vibrant and overflowing with joy, shared with family and friends and punctuated by diverse hobbies such as home renovations, gardening, camping, and my latest adventure, paddle-boarding. My philosophy extends beyond my professional life into a personal quest for balance—striving to exist as a human “being” rather than just a human “doing”. This mindfulness is encapsulated in what I’ve coined “Basia’s Bliss,” a personal endeavour to savour life’s pure joys wherever and whenever they present themselves.
