Hi, I'm TeNita Ballard
Coach, Speaker, D.I Leader
I’ve been the one everyone leaned on while completely flattened underneath. Until I decided to recover my authentic self.
As a woman, I’ve always felt the need to be a great achiever. But as a Black woman, there’s also a social requirement to be courageous. Many times, this courage is expected without guidance, support, or resources—yet we continue to carry everyone and everything.
Instead of always prioritizing others, I chose to advocate for myself. Now, after years in the corporate space, I help courageous women trade their need to perform for the freedom to live authentically.
Because rest Isn't a Retreat t's a Return to Power
You’ve led teams, families, even entire organizations.
You’re the one everyone turns to when they need clarity, strength, or a miracle under pressure.
But behind the titles and responsibilities…
You’re exhausted.
You’ve been holding it all together while quietly unraveling inside.
You long for rest—not the kind that makes you step away from who you are, but the kind that brings you home to yourself.
Our Journey:
Where We've Shared Our Story
The Freedom of Authentic Leadership
Coach, Speaker, D.I Leader
My journey from burnout to authenticity taught me that true leadership starts with you.
My own experience of carrying everyone and everything taught me a powerful lesson: true leadership begins with a return to self. I’ve lived the pressure to perform and the social requirement to be courageous without the support needed to thrive.
Now, as a Coach, Consultant, and Curator, I help courageous women trade that need to perform for the freedom to live authentically. Using my signature MAP Method™, I provide the guidance and support you need to finally align with your purpose and advocate for your own well-being.
