Botswana Leadership Strategist Phetso Ntsowe Joins Brainz Magazine as Executive Contributor
Phetso Ntsowe, a Self-Trust Leadership Strategist and the Founder of Rise & Reach Consulting (Pty) Ltd, has joined Brainz Magazine as an Executive Contributor, effective March 2026. Based in Gaborone, Botswana, and recognised globally for her work in women’s leadership development, Ntsowe will contribute thought-leadership articles to Brainz Magazine’s international readership, advancing the critical conversation on self-trust, leadership clarity, and aligned decision-making for high-performing women.
With over 17 years of experience in Botswana's financial services sector, Ntsowe brings a distinctly structured, evidence-based perspective to personal leadership. She is a John Maxwell Certified Coach, Speaker, and Trainer, and the author of From Fearful to Fearless. Her work centres on helping high-performing women move beyond external achievement into intentional, aligned leadership, guided by internal clarity rather than external pressure.
“Leadership that is not grounded in self-trust eventually collapses under the weight of external expectations. My work, and now my writing on this platform, is about equipping women with the clarity and internal certainty to lead with intention, not performance. I am honoured to bring that conversation to a global audience through Brainz Magazine.” – Phetso Ntsowe, Self-Trust Leadership Strategist
Ntsowe’s contributions to women’s leadership have earned her recognition across Africa and beyond. She is a recipient of the W.O.W Africa 50 Women Award for Leadership Coaching and Development, a finalist in the Africa & Middle East Gender Mainstreaming Awards (Positive Role Model, Ignite Category), and has been ranked the LinkedIn Number One Career Content Creator. She serves as G100 Botswana Country Chair under the Entrepreneurship & Sustainable Businesses Wing, part of a global network of 100 women leaders across sectors, driving advocacy for gender equality in collaboration with governments and international organisations.
As an Executive Contributor, Ntsowe will author articles addressing the themes central to her methodology, self-trust as a leadership discipline, clarity in high-stakes decision-making, overcoming internal barriers to aligned leadership, and the distinct challenges faced by high-performing women navigating success and purpose simultaneously. Her writing draws equally from her corporate risk management experience and her transformational coaching practice.
Ntsowe’s articles will be accessible to Brainz Magazine’s readership of over 3.1 million people across 65 countries, positioning her voice at the centre of a global dialogue on women, leadership, and intentional living.
