#StartWithWhy, Faustina Cikanda
A passionate impact and community driven Innovation Consultant
Having a powerful Why gives our business/life a deeper meaning and makes everything else secondary. A powerful Why makes us motivated and enthusiastic and can be a powerful driving tool.
Join us for this campaign as we share our Why and help Inspire individuals looking for their #WHY.
Today, we met with Faustina! (We actually met for the first time at a DREAM CAFE in Nairobi a few months ago with some other amazing entrepreneurs and since then we know we share similar passions driving us to make a change!) .
Who are you?
I am Faustina Ning’a. An innovation consultant at Good Consulting.
Why did you start, where did the idea come from?
The idea of Good Consulting came in immediately after my 10-year stunt in the corporate scene. I wanted to empower and amplify creative thinking when finding real solutions to social and economic challenges. My desire is to empower as many individuals to affiliate their inner journey to developing human centered and systematic solutions as they embrace a transformative way of thinking
What impact do you want to have / make ?
I want to breed success stories for every organization or individual I touch. I want to offer a wholesome consulting solution that brings in ideas, harnesses the potential within, and helps you find the resources needed to kickstart the future story. In good consulting, we bootstrap together.
What is your WHY?
I believe that 90% of organizations are still struggling to allow for creative thinking in order to resolve the challenges they face. Organizations are still engulfed in resolving day-to-day challenges, and in turn limiting themselves in thinking and planning innovatively. We are still stuck on conventional solutions to convert our car motor engines into rocket launchers. I want to be the catalyst of that innovative change that one needs. I want to transform mindsets so that we carve out time to think and act on our possibilities. I provide the why, how, and the what. An end-to-end solution that will bootstrap with you. It is just good consulting!

What do you need from the community to go the next mile? Feel free to also mention How you could help others, the ones reading your story, our community, to go to the next mile?
As a member of GlocAllia, I look forward to more interactions and platforms for the exchange of knowledge and ideas. This is a movement whose divergent views can create more beautiful entrepreneurial stories.
What advice would you give to a future entrepreneur?
The world is evolving at a speed that many companies are unable to cope with. It’s not just building excitement but building a force field that creates the movement
Who are you looking up to for inspiration?
I look up to social oddities for inspiration. The Elon Musks, the Kanyes, lady Gaga, Mark Zuckerburg. No one will remember you for being basic.
Why are you sharing your story? What impact are you aiming at with this?
I share my personal entrepreneurial journey so that I can inspire that idea in your mind to come to life.
A deep Thanks to Faustina, for sharing her Why with us and being amongst the first to open our #StartWithWhy campaign and more specifically on this 8th March 2022 for Women's Day.
