I'm on a mission to rewrite and rebuild the employer/employee contract – helping ambitious people and organizations create new definitions of success, leadership, and high performance that don't require sacrificing who we are along the way.

Building a healthier definition of high performance for the leaders and companies ready to build something better.

AS SEEN IN

Speaker. Founder. Consultant. Executive Coach. CEO. 

I'm Latesha Byrd—founder and CEO of Perfeqta, a global keynote speaker, and one of the most trusted voices in leadership and workplace culture. Over the past decade, I've built and sold a company, advised C-suite leaders across some of the most recognizable organizations in the world, and spoken on mainstages from coast to coast.

Today, I bridge the gap between employer expectations and the employee experience.
