Daring To Lead From Within with Kemi Nekvapil


Listen Later

Have you ever felt that flutter in your gut when faced with a crossroads? 

Your heart may skip a beat or butterflies erupt when soul-searching for your next powerful step. 

But then your mind gets in the way. 

My next guest had five primary carers from the age of 2 weeks to 13 years old living as a foster child from a Nigerian family born in Britain. Her childhood was full of instability and uncertainty, moving from home to home. She found her power when she was offered a choice at the age of 13. Her entire world stood still in this moment. She had never realised she had the right to choose. 

I’m so grateful to be bringing you the incredible Kemi Nekvapil. I believe she is one of the best business coaches in the world! Kemi’s career is a rich tapestry and her wealth of knowledge spans across many fields. 

Kemi went to a baking college and worked as a chef on and off for 17 years. At the same time, she plunged herself into drama school and worked hard to become a very successful actor. Her body of work includes a leading role in a British television series for 3 and a half years (even writing her own role for the last 6 months), working for the Royal Shakespeare Company, and performing in a film with Colin Firth in the South of France. 

We talk about the crossroads Kemi felt when deciding the path her career should take after such phenomenal success in acting. She followed her instinct and listened to her ‘Divine Download’ to take the adventurous chef opportunity across the world in Thailand where she met her husband. She stresses the importance of listening to your intuition to become in tune with your gut, heart, and mind. 

Kemi was chosen from thousands to be trained as a facilitator for Dr Brene Browns’ Dare to Lead curriculum in Texas. She talks about her journey connecting with Brene and finding her power to lead exactly as herself without needing to fit into the patriarchal, white, male model. In her coaching practice, Kemi works with other female leaders to overcome their challenges and succeed in their fields. 

We’re all connected with nature and go through seasons and transformations. Kemi advises us, as women, to not do the disservice of ignoring the change when it’s happening. She created the ‘Delight Diaries’ to encourage her community to revel in the beauty of nature and the little moments every day that make us feel happy and alive. 

I can’t wait for you to listen to Kemi’s transformative, courageous, and powerful story. If you’d like to learn more, Kemi has written two books, 'The Gift of Asking’ and ‘Raw Beauty’. She has a third book coming out very soon about women in power.
