William Mahlatsi Sebelebele is a coach, advisor, consultant, and speaker whose life journey
embodies the very transformation that We Are Anchors stands for.
Raised in challenging circumstances, William’s path was marked by adversity — from growing
up in poverty, working at a young age, and navigating life without access to basic
documentation, to finding refuge and support through community and mentorship. Despite these
challenges, he pursued education, built a career, and rose into leadership roles within the
corporate and consulting space.

With over 19 years of experience across insurance, consulting, business development, and
executive advisory, William has worked with individuals, leaders, and organizations to drive
transformation, improve performance, and unlock potential.
But beyond his professional achievements, his passion is deeply personal.
Having experienced the realities of vulnerability firsthand, he founded We Are Anchors to
become a lifeline for individuals and communities — particularly child-headed households and
young people navigating difficult circumstances.
His work is anchored in three core principles:
• Transformation — Helping people become who they are meant to be
• Diversity — Embracing different backgrounds, perspectives, and journeys
• Inclusivity — Creating spaces where everyone has the opportunity to thrive

William’s story is not just one of success — it is a testament to what is possible when resilience
meets purpose.
