Innovation Women Speakers Bureau: https://speaker.innovationwomen.com/user/8898

I guide professional women to overcome work-life challenges and master their inner abilities to navigate and reach the summits of their vision, desires, and goals. They are high achievers who, in addition to their successes, are faced with increasing stress and overwhelm and have varying degrees of self-doubt. They want change and seek sustainable roadmaps, tools, and practices that help them transform their often out-of-balance lives into ones where they can thrive.

I have spent decades studying and practicing the art and science of change and transformation. More recently, I became a HeartMath® Certified Coach and Trainer to add essential science-backed insights. I am a member of the Bars of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, the Federal Republic of Nigeria and admitted to practice before the United States Court of International Trade.

For the past fifteen years, I’ve facilitated transformational retreats for professional women and workshops for international corporate clients, U.S. Government agencies, and international universities. I am an External Coach for McKinsey & Company, August 2022 -present.

In a life-changing family move from Miami, Florida, I spent my early, formative, and adult years living in East and West Africa and traveling the world. As a result, I developed a deeply wired perspective and cultural appreciation for people from around the globe.

However, I was born with a mission to be an adventurer who helps professional women successfully navigate the mountains of their lives. And this has led me to many more rewarding and diverse experiences.

Summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro at 19,341 ft after my second attempt, gave me an extreme real-world experience of ‘failure and success’ and taught me how to help my clients take empowered action, overcome the obstacles before them, and reach their desired opportunities. I also hiked Machu Picchu, walked the 192-mile Coast-to-Coast trail across England, along with other nature-based and cultural experiences, all of which taught me even more. I enjoy writing about these personal and leadership lessons in my blog.

An extraordinary life is achieved by embracing each step that gets you there.
