Ep. 78-Play the Game or Get Played: Philipa Biritwum on Identity and Thriving in Corporate Culture

In this powerful reflection episode, we welcome Philipa Biritwum, an entrepreneur, leadership consultant, and founder of AMACON Lead for a deep dive into what it takes to thrive as a woman of colour in corporate and entrepreneurial spaces. Reflecting on key stories from Season 4, Philipa unpacks the layers of leadership, self-worth, and playing smart in systems not built for you.

💡 Key Themes:

Work-Life Realism: Why “balance” is a myth and how integration empowers you to manage multiple roles authentically.
Power & Politics: How to stop being just a high performer and start becoming visible with sponsors, allies, and strategy.
Identity as Leverage: Reclaiming your name, voice, and cultural identity in environments that ask you to shrink.

✅ 3 Takeaways You Don’t Want to Miss:

You can’t pour from an empty cup: prioritise yourself without apology.
Influence is possible without a title: start with consistency, curiosity, and a clear intention.
Don’t just survive, thrive by navigating politics with awareness, not avoidance.

👂 Tune In If You’re... A working parent, emerging leader, corporate misfit, or anyone trying to lead without losing themselves.
