About Shireen Motara - African Feminist, Strategist, Executive Coach, Community Builder, Championing Women's Leadership
About Shireen Motara
Shireen is the founder and CEO of The Next Chapter Studio—a women-led studio that brings together coaching, consulting, community, and beautifully designed wellbeing products to support women to lead, build, and live with intention.
Her work sits at the intersection of leadership, social justice, wellbeing, and sustainability. For more than two decades, I have worked across Africa and globally as a strategist, coach, facilitator, and board leader, supporting women, organisations, and movements to navigate complexity, transition, and growth.
This platform—The Next Chapter—is where those threads come together.
My Work in the World
Leadership, Strategy & Social Change
""I support organisations, funders, and social justice initiatives to design and strengthen strategies that advance equity, gender justice, and long-term sustainability. My consulting work spans strategy development, organisational strengthening, resource mobilisation, governance, and leadership development—particularly within women-led and mission-driven organisations.
I bring a systems lens to this work: understanding how power, policy, resources, and lived experience shape outcomes—and how organisations can respond with integrity and clarity.""
Coaching Women Leaders
As a certified coach and Enneagram practitioner, Shireem works with women leaders, executives, and entrepreneurs who are navigating growth, responsibility, and change.
Her coaching is holistic and reflective, grounded in self-awareness, compassion, and practical action. I support clients to:
- Lead with confidence and clarity
- Navigate complexity and transition
- Strengthen boundaries and wellbeing
- Align ambition with values and impact
This work recognises that leadership is not only about performance—but about sustainability, agency, and self-trust.
Community & Collective Spaces
Alongside individual and organisational work, I design and host collective spaces—retreats, circles, learning journeys, and communities—where women can reflect, connect, and learn together.
These spaces are intentional and grounded, combining feminist practice, shared learning, and practical tools. They are designed to reduce isolation, build capacity, and remind women that they do not have to navigate leadership or life alone.
Why Products Matter Here
The products you find in this store—journals, affirmation tools, wellbeing resources, and curated items—are not separate from my work. They are an extension of it.
They exist because:
- Reflection needs tangible support
- Wellbeing requires daily practice, not just insight
- Beauty, care, and intention matter—especially for women carrying responsibility
Each product is designed or curated to support pause, presence, and progress—whether used individually, in teams, or as part of collective experiences.
The Thread That Connects It All
"Everything I do—consulting, coaching, community, and commerce—is rooted in a simple belief:
Women deserve to lead full, resourced, and meaningful lives."
That requires:
- Strong inner foundations
- Supportive systems and organisations
- Spaces for rest, reflection, and connection
- Tools that make the everyday more intentional
The Next Chapter exists to hold all of that—thoughtfully, practically, and with care.
