For Leaders who Really Want to Lead

Organizations fail because leaders are paralyzed by complexity and powerlessness.I help leaders reclaim their power, build massive character, and cultivate teams that thrive with meaning, purpose, and hope.I’m Rym Tounsi, executive coach and leadership & culture strategist. Everything here is designed to help you lead boldly when it matters most.

Lead or Die

To lead is a choice to face life’s meaning head-on. When leaders step into their raw power, they ignite influence, innovation, and change that lasts. I stand with founders, executives, and cultures ready to rise beyond survival and claim their place in shaping the future.

What I Do

Igniting Fierce Leadership

I work with leaders and teams in moments of transition, conflict, or growth. Through coaching, culture transformation, speaking, and research, I help build characterful, purpose-driven cultures where power is shared, honored, and multiplied, with teams that grow resilient, bold, and proud.

Speaking

Talks that Transform

I deliver keynotes that cut through the noise: raw, intense, and deeply human. Audiences leave with courage, clarity, and the will to reclaim their dignity.

Coaching

Power You Can Practice

As an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), I work with founders, CEOs and seniors executives to embody leadership as a lived force. My coaching is integrative, evidence-based, and fiercely personal. Together, we build the strategies that turn struggle into transformation.

Workshops & Training

Learning That Sticks

Immersive, research-based, and raw. My trainings and workshops give leaders and teams practical tools for influence, innovation, and courage. Sparking bold thinking and transformative action.

Consulting

Cultures That thrive

For organizations ready to grow beyond resilience, I help leadership teams design bold, future-ready cultures. Together, we build systems of power, adaptability, and long-term impact that carry people forward.

Research

The anatomy of Powerlessness

My current grounded theory research explores why and how people experience powerlessness and the various processes and strategies they use to overcome it. The insights fuel every part of my practice, making leadership human.

The Research Edge

From Theory to Practice

Research is alive. My studies on powerlessness, resilience, and human dignity inform how I work with leaders. This means every keynote, every workshop, and every coaching session is backed by real data, human stories, and insights that matter.

1. Ignite Power

I help leaders see power as pride, unlocking authenticity and influence.

2. Build Cultures

I work with organizations to cultivate dignity, courage, and pride as cultural norms.

3. Drive Change

Together, we create leaders and cultures that can adapt, transform, and shape the future.

About Rym

The Deep Business of Being Human

You’re probably here because you care about leadership, culture, and the future of work. So do I. But hear me please: my passion for this didn’t start in a classroom or a boardroom, it started in the messy middle of real life.I’ve been a founder and CEO five times over, across continents, sometimes starting from nothing but an idea and the grit to make it real. I know what it’s like to fight for a vision, to lead when the stakes are high, and to feel the weight of responsibility when everything rests on you.But along the way, I discovered something bigger: the crisis is a lack of power, the courage to act, to own our presence, to lead without losing ourselves.Today, I combine psychology, research, storytelling, and lived human insight to help leaders and teams become more fierce, resilient, and proud. This is about reclaiming power as dignity, radical pride, and a force for transformation.If you’re ready to lead boldly when it matters most, you’re in the right place.

Stay Connected

I share field notes from my research, leadership insights, and stories of resilience that don’t make it into social media. Think of it as an honest letter from me to you: raw, useful, and always human.
