Women have been managed
Historically. Consistently. Oppressively.
They have been told what to do, what to think, what they can be and what it's worth.
And while there has been some progress where women have more agency over themselves and have shattered many proverbial glass ceilings, the effects of that "management" still exist.
Women remain underrepresented in leadership roles that can not only change the trajectory of their lives but also the destiny of it.
Corporations and institutions are uniquely positioned to foster conditions that remove barriers to women leading.
Leadership is not a title, but more a relationship with self and an expression of that relationship to others.
Leadership is not a fixed quality, but rather continued education.
And although leadership is not gender specific, there has been a significant head start. Making up the difference requires intention.
Witness My Life was created for just that.
Women. Equality. Leadership -- under new management.
What We Do
Witness My Life partners with corporations and universities to create and implement women's leadership programs and offers storytelling products and services to amplify unheard voices.
Our single mission is to bring the world together one story at a time and to provide opportunities for people to S.E.E. (support, education, encourage) each other in order to get to a place of mutual respect.
Witness My Life stands against racism, violence against women, and silencing marginalized voices. We use this platform to tell stories that pull people out of the margins and edges of society and into the mainstream of their individuality and expression.
We work with individuals and organizations who have demonstrated diversity and inclusion and who work towards a more just world.
our Approach
“Within the context of our lives, our hashtags and mantras, we are simply pleading with each other, See me, because I matter. I matter. You matter.”
~ Shereese Floyd - TEDxOcala - The Secret to Healing the World
Support. Educate. Encourage.
Standing up and being seen isn't always easy, to get to a place of respect requires difficult conversations. Our programs and services are built to provide support and encouragement around education -- so we can drop defense and facilitate a bridge to understanding.
For Women: We help you turn your life experiences into brand stories so you can raise your voice and become impossible to ignore.
For Nonprofits: We help recruit and retain the best talent who are dedicated to your mission while also providing a system to discovering, shaping and sharing your stories -- to increase fundraising.
For Companies: We work with companies to get everyone on the same page united around a strategic narrative that drives success in marketing, sales, recruiting, onboarding, productivity — and ultimate culture so you can stand out in the marketplace and never compete on price.

Personal and Professional Development for Women
Break the Glass: Redefining Women's Leadership is six-month curriculum for leaders ready to translate the chronicles of their history and write their names in the journals of the present day.
This program peels back the layers of all things you were told you "should" be to get to the heart of who you truly are.
Why We Do It
We do want to live in a world where women feel invisible; therefore, we equip women training and support to raise their voices and tell their stories so that they are impossible to ignore.

Meet The Founder
Shereese Floyd
I’m Shereese Floyd, a TEDx speaker, advocate and chief storyteller of Witness My Life.

I believe hearing stories from all kinds of people is the ONE way to bring this world together.
The Secret to Healing the World - TEDxOcala
Can we really live in peace with people who share different political and ideological views? Shereese Floyd believes so. She believes we have always had the ability to build a bridge and heal the world; it just requires a shift in the way we see things.
In this talk, she tells the story of living across the cul de sac from a neighbor who publicly displayed such differences. At a time in the world, where people seem to pick their sides and relate to each other from those boundaries, she challenges the audience to see beyond labels, titles, and notions and ask of each other a simple and vulnerable question: Will you be a witness to my life?
Let's Work Together
Do you believe in the power of people to create a more unified and just world? Do you want to truly be. a witness to the lives of others? Let's talk. Interested in partnering or collaborating or looking for training or speaking for organization, get on our calendar.
We look forward to being a witness to your life.
