Coaching

“The positive impact Kemi has had on my life cannot be overstated.

I began my coaching journey 18 months ago, at a time in my life when I was feeling reasonably accomplished and clear on what I wanted to achieve. With the support and guidance of Kemi I accomplished many things which on paper equalled success, however I discovered along the way that I wasn’t being entirely true to myself. I had modelled my leadership on the styles and expectations of others and was no longer clear on my own values.

So began a journey of self-discovery which was as challenging as it was rewarding. As I practiced being courageous and vulnerable (I learned there is not one without the other), and leaned into my own leadership style – my connections became stronger, my conversations more meaningful and I was able to replace approval seeking with authenticity.

Being an authentic leader is a continual work in progress – some days I feel more vulnerable than courageous and vice versa, but my fortnightly sessions with Kemi were instrumental in propelling me forward. Kemi led me to discover and believe in my own worth, and in the process, re-evaluate what true leadership and success means for me.

I trust Kemi implicitly and her unconditional support is a rare and generous gift. Kemi is so much more than a coach – she’s the secret weapon to discovering your own super-powers.“

“I took up coaching with Kemi to raise my life standards.

To take everything I was doing well and to multiply it exponentially, and to hold a mirror to the areas I could dismantle and improve upon.

I hoped that I would gain clarity and a new grounding in personal power.

I didn’t expect to discover so much about myself. Kemi is not only whip-smart, but breathtakingly intuitive. She feels through words. She has a radar for the “story walls” that hold us back and works with you to tear them down. She kindly challenges, and politely suggests. She is a coach of the highest possible calibre.

I gladly and most gratefully recommend her services.“

“I decided to take up coaching with Kemi at a time in my life where I felt my professional path was stalling and I was plagued with self-doubt and lack of confidence at work. Kemi helped me acknowledge that I had an internal voice that wasn’t serving me, and helped me get clarity on my own unique value, strengths and positive contributions. Re-shifting my mindset from one of “I am not good enough” to one of “I am valued” was transformational. Instead of trying to prove my value by trying too hard, I could be present and thoughtfully contribute at work. Instead of trying to keep myself safe by never leaning in, I could lean in with confidence that I was enough and that I would be doing a disservice to my work if I withheld my contribution. After just a few sessions with Kemi, my colleagues started remarking on the change in me and acknowledged how powerfully I was “owning” my role in the business.

Kemi provided a safe space to explore personal challenges with zero judgement. Even as I was judging myself and feeling like I was “wrong” to feel the way I did, Kemi came to each issue with love, compassion and support, and helped me reframe the questions I was asking, explore alternative solutions and provide me with tools and resources to tackle difficult issues.

While I came to Kemi to seek coaching around my professional life, she also helped me understand the importance of looking after myself and prioritising self-care. I’d always thought of self-care as a somewhat selfish indulgence that prioritised my needs over other important personal and professional commitments, but Kemi helped me see how lack of self-care was negatively impacting my important relationships (husband, children, friends) and my ability to be the best version of myself. She helped me identify and implement a range of tools, techniques and practices that have really improved how balanced, resilient and connected I feel across all areas of life.

I am a different person than the one I was when I started my sessions with Kemi. I have more focus, resilience, confidence and also more self-compassion. I know life will continue to throw me curveballs and challenges, stresses and strains, but I feel like I now have the tools and resources I need to weather them in a way that doesn’t overwhelm. I’m by no means perfect and I feel I have so much further to go on my inner-work journey (with Kemi and beyond), but I am so grateful to Kemi for the powerful shift she helped bring about in me that has set me up to live a powerful, connected and deeply fulfilled life.“

“Working with Kemi has given me that ‘sounding board’ and space.

She asked the right (though sometimes hard) questions, provided a judgement-free space for me to come up with my own answers and then held me accountable to my commitments.

Working with Kemi has helped me trust my own judgement and to ask for help.

She will challenge and push you, but always from a place of compassion and warmth.

I am so grateful to her for her support and I can’t recommend Kemi as a coach more highly.“
