Dear Friends
In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with Geeta Sidhu-Robb, a dynamic entrepreneur, founder, business strategist, and transformational coach, for a conversation that is equal parts hilarious, piercing, and profoundly important.
Geeta shares her origin story as the first non-white woman to stand for Parliament in the UK, the deep childhood influence of Sikh tradition and Seva (service), and the inner duality that has driven her life: a fierce intolerance for injustice alongside real fear—both voices present, both equally loud.
From founding Nosh Detox and helping commercialize the cold-pressed juice movement to coaching powerhouse leaders, Geeta’s path has been defined by relentless clarity and the courage to be visible.
But in 2023, just as she planned to finally rest, a court transcript about workplace sexual abuse jolted her back into activism—leading to the creation of W Corporation, a certification designed to help companies build workplaces that truly support women’s biology, leadership styles, and lived reality.
“I’m a very powerful woman, and I like that about myself.” - Geeta Sidhu-Robb
Key Takeaways
- Seva “service” as a leadership compass: how service can become a lifelong strategy for courage and impact.
- Why workplaces are structurally “male by default”—and what it actually looks like to make them fit-for-purpose for women.
- The W Corporation model: a practical certification process that rewards workplaces that support women across caregiving, perimenopause, promotion dynamics, and more.
- “Women are not small men”: why women often need to be invited into promotions, and why job ads and workplace reward systems frequently disadvantage them.
- Visibility as a power skill: how being willing to be seen changes what you can build—and what you can influence.
- One metric can change the world: Geeta’s bold goal to move UK venture funding to women-led teams from 2% to 3%, and why that single shift matters.
- Relentlessness over perfection: why Geeta doesn’t wait for a perfect plan—she commits to the mission and lets reality organize around it.
