Helping women leaders of color reclaim their confidence & brilliance after workplace trauma

Meet Dr. Faye Saul-Lewis

Born in London, I'm a former school leader, current college professor and the founder and CEO of Faye Lewis Consulting. When She Leads exists to help women leaders of color reclaim their confidence and brilliance after experiencing workplace trauma.

I know what it’s like to lead in challenging work environments. I understand the toll that it can take on our confidence and well-being. That despite our numerous degrees, certifications and accolades, they aim to dim our light and cause us to question our brilliance. I’ve met too many powerful, amazing, capable women leaders of color who have suffered under systems that were never designed to support us.

We’re frequently tapped to “fix” struggling schools, agencies and corporations, with no support, and because the workplace was in distress before we arrived, the probability of success for us is minimal, and the scrutiny…elevated. We’re leading through anxiety, sleepless nights, toxic supervisors and team members. In our personal lives, we’re managing households, navigating and ending relationships, caring for children and aging parents, and silently battling our own mental and emotional load. Our confidence, brilliance and well-being eventually take a hit.

I work with you to restore your confidence and recover your brilliance to you back to a place of alignment. My services are what I would have wanted for myself when I was a leader. 

  • Expert educator, and sought after consultant.

  • Coached and mentored new administrators for the leading professional association of school leaders in the state of New Jersey.

  • As a woman leader who has navigated many workplaces challenges, I bring authenticity, resilience, and passion to my work. I’ve spent decades creating spaces where individuals can grow, heal, and thrive.

My Book

“CHOOSE YOu: 10 Steps to Resetting Your Life”

This book is a reminder that you have innate power and resilience in the face of adversity. That even when life shifts unexpectedly, when a marriage ends, when your workplace harms you, when a challenging season forces you to start over, you still have agency. You still have a voice. You still have a choice. It reminds you that leaving is not weakness; it is wisdom. That walking away from what diminishes you is not failure; it’s alignment. The courage to choose yourself isn’t selfish - It is power.

  • Reconnect with your innate greatness 

  • Gain clarity about the life that you want

  • Rewrite your life’s blueprint
