About Us: Empowering Leaders to Flourish
Welcome to The Like Me CIC, where leadership transformation begins. Founded in 2018 by Jasmine Mbye, we are a leadership development and employee empowerment training company with a bold vision: to empower and inspire 1 million women and ethnically diverse individuals to become leaders who flourish. 
At The Like Me CIC, we believe that leadership is not just about positions—it’s about potential. We’re here to help individuals and organisations break through barriers, unlock hidden potential, and create meaningful progress in careers, businesses, and lives.
Our Mission: Empowering Individuals, Supporting Organisations
Through our tailored programs, we work with organisations and individuals to achieve transformational growth. Here’s how:
- For Individuals: We help people overcome obstacles, fulfil their potential, and advance their careers and lives. Whether it’s breaking free from self-doubt, developing leadership skills, or embracing their authentic voice, we empower individuals to lead with confidence and purpose.
- For Organisations: We support organisations in championing diversity, retaining talent, and improving productivity while saving costs. By developing leaders, enhancing employee empowerment, and prioritising wellbeing, we create workplaces where everyone can thrive.
By aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—specifically:
- SDG 5: Gender Equality
- SDG 11: Reducing Inequalities
we help organisations take actionable steps toward a more equitable and inclusive future.
Our Focus: Championing Diversity and Inclusion
The Like Me CIC is a female-led organisation with a deep commitment to empowering women and ethnically diverse individuals. Research shows that these groups often face significant barriers to leadership and advancement.
- The UN reveals that women achieve, on average, only 60% of their full potential.
- The McGregor-Smith Review highlights that fully utilising BME talent could bring a £24 billion boost to the UK economy annually.
While our work is rooted in empowering women and ethnically diverse individuals, we are fully inclusive. We work with men and individuals from non-ethnically diverse backgrounds, recognising that diversity and inclusion benefit everyone.
By empowering underrepresented groups, we enable organisations to futureproof their workforce and drive meaningful, measurable change.
Our Vision: Creating Billions of Possibilities
Our vision is clear: to inspire and empower 1 million women and ethnically diverse individuals to lead flourishing lives. 
Why 1 million? Because every empowered individual creates countless ripples of change—at work, in their communities, and in the world.
We know that by supporting one person at a time, we create billions of possibilities for change, progress, and leadership that makes a difference.
