My GloBUNTU Mindset Shift® Concept and How It Works
The GloBUNTU Mindset Shift is an empowering framework I developed to help individuals and organizations harness the African philosophy of Ubuntu—“I am because we are”—as a foundation for personal and collective growth. Rooted in values of interconnectedness, compassion, and mutual empowerment, the GloBUNTU Mindset fosters resilience, empathy, and collaborative success. Since its inception in 2011 in Vienna and further refined through extensive field research in South Africa from 2015 to 2022, this concept has been effectively applied in both personal and organizational coaching with remarkable outcomes.
I deliver the GloBUNTU Mindset Shift as keynote, workshop, webinar, panel discussion, or one-on-one coaching session in the in English, French, and German.

"If shit has never happened to you, then you don't yet know how powerful you are, LOL! " Ankwetta B. Achaleke
In 2014, life hit hard, and I found myself at rock bottom Vienna/ Austria. Through intense introspection, I realized I had outgrown the very environment I once thrived in. It became clear: if I wanted my power back, I needed a radical change. So, I did what felt impossible—I gave a spontaneous TED Talk, wrote a book, and, with just two suitcases, left behind my life of twenty years, including my young children, to start fresh in South Africa. Today, I’m deeply grateful for the chaos that revealed my strength and potential, turning what felt like the end into the beginning of something extraordinary.
Are you ready to turn your mess into a masterpiece? Start your own transformation journey with me. Let’s unleash your greatness.

What people are saying Ankwetta B. Achaleke
"It is with great honor and deep appreciation that I write this testimonial for Ankwettta Beatrice Achaleke—a visionary publisher, mentor, and sister whose impact on my journey as an author and advocate for women’s empowerment has been immeasurable.
As the founder of Globuntu, Ankwettta is more than a publisher—she is a Pan-Africanist at heart, committed to amplifying African voices and reshaping narratives through the lens of African people. Her unwavering belief in the power of storytelling has provided a platform for authors like myself to reclaim and share our truths. Under her guidance, I had the privilege of publishing my first book, Nyeleti: Princess of Africa, a story rooted in the essence of African heritage and resilience. Now, as I prepare to release my second book with Globuntu, I am even more inspired by her relentless dedication to changing the narrative about Africa and its people.
Ankwettta is a trailblazer, a glass-ceiling breaker, and a fierce advocate for African excellence. She empowers writers to tell their stories unapologetically, ensuring that our histories, cultures, and triumphs are no longer told from an external perspective but through the voices of those who live them.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ankwettta Beatrice Achaleke to anyone seeking a publisher who not only elevates stories but also transforms lives. She is a force for change, and her impact will be felt for generations to come.
With immense gratitude"
Angeline Mhlanga Author/Advocate/Mother
"Upon my first introduction to Beatrice Achaleke, over four years ago. I was in the midst of a unique life transformation. I was waning between my professional interests of being in business for myself as a consultant
and following my heart to continue pursuing opportunities within the entertainment industry.
Beatrice was slated to deliver the keynote address for a conference that I was hosting, and it was during her talk
that I felt compelled to be wholly fearless! I was captivated by her prowess of four languages, especially
her stellar command of the English language, and her willingness to learn MORE and be even GREATER!
Over these few years, she has allowed me to share in her dreams, learn about her family and personal pursuits as
well as counselling one another through our individual challenges. It is with GREAT honor that I endorse this
powerfully masterful and creative work.
Beatrice Achaleke is a magnificent teacher, speaker, mother, sister, and friend who is dedicated to life
learning and rigorous application. She is a brilliant mind who seeks a thorough understanding of every quest and
demands the highest motivation from her inner voice. She has invoked the passion within me to focus on my
goals and not rest until they come to fruition."
— Ericka Dunlap- Fomer Miss America
“Achaleke is one of these type of public
speakers who once on stage totally
captivates and holds your attention from beginning to end and get you wanting for more when she is done.”
Hartmaier Thomas, Klagenfurt, Austra, TedTalk attendee, 2014
“I am totally infected by Achaleke’s
GloBUNTU Mindshift concept. It is spot
on and gets your mind shifting in the right direction, without so much efforts once you understand the principles.”
Brigitte Schwartz, workshop participant, Vienna, Austria, 2023
"Auntie Achaleke is incredible, she has a way of sensing what you are going through, how to affirm you back on track, giving you a proud sense of self and your identity."
Tshepiso T., Globuntu young author, South Africa, 2022
