Quote: “For me to believe what you are saying as a leader, I need to know and trust that you will hold yourself accountable for your actions and inactions.” Kemi Ogunkoya
When I first met Kemi, we discussed my soon-to-be-released book, ROR, Return on Relationships, Amplify Your Authentic Leadership to Build More Resilient Teams and how being a trusted resilient and authentic leader affects the role she plays in her company. As my book launch is fast approaching, I wanted to reintroduce you to Kemi and the conversation we had about how creating trust makes all the difference in her ability to lead.
What does it take to be an effective leader? The answer to this question has changed a great deal since the onset of COVID. Now that we are seeing things starting to open back up and people returning to the workplace, it’s imperative to have solid leadership. The past 18 months have taught us so much about what’s important. Whether at home or work, we all need to feel a connection with those around us. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Kemi Ogunkoya to share her thoughts on what it takes to be a successful leader.
Kemi is a renowned Leadership Development Strategist, Management Consultant, and author. For close to a decade, she has conducted and facilitated high-impact leadership development workshops across, Africa, North America, and Asia. She is an alumna of The Said Business School, University of Oxford, and a member of The Forbes Business Council. She is a Certified Management Consultant, and a Masters Neuro-Linguistics Programming Practitioner certified by the INLP Centre in California, USA. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Education & Economics from the University of Ibadan and has an MBA in Management Consultancy from the University of Wales, Cardiff UK.

She is the Founder of Rellies Works, a leadership consultancy firm; Chairman board of trustees of The PowerWoman Network and The Lead Africa Now Initiative. She is the author of The Leadership Guardian, Goal Mastery Book, and Magical Pills.
With many of us working from home and feeling the pressure of the pandemic, I encourage you to reach out with thoughts or questions about your own self-awareness and creating a healthier mindset through connection.
As we move toward reopening workspaces and gathering again, I encourage leaders to reach out for guidance about presenting their authentic self to develop an improved workplace for everyone with less conflict through executive coaching.
