Empowering women, from soon-to-be graduates to mid-career professionals and entrepreneurs, to unlock their potential and lead with confidence
Who I am
I am a Black African woman who has lived on three different continents, has traveled to 15+ countries, speaks 4+ languages (French, English, Spanish and Japanese – learning Korean), and has worked in drastically contrasting industries. A little more about me here.
My experiences as a Product Owner / Marketing Lead taught me that “a Scrum Master is an impediment remover“. So I enjoy being an outsider looking in with fresh eyes who:
- Provides clarity to soon-to-be, early and mid-career ambitious professionals looking to build a fulfilling career;
- Helps ethnically-diverse individuals to embrace their cultural uniqueness in the workplace and stand for themselves;
- Supports entrepreneurs / founders in developing their leadership purpose and the clarity they need to succeed as long-term business leaders.
I constantly navigate intersectionality as:
- a first-generation Canadian immigrant;
- a Black person;
- African born and raised;
- a woman;
- a Millennial.
As a multilingual Black African woman, I uniquely combine cultural fluency, a passion for mentorship and a bias toward execution to support women wanting to tap into their potential and unlock growth.
Why Work With Me?
My mission is to mentor and coach women to unlock their potential, enhance their productivity, and build sustainable careers aligned with their unique strengths.
There are already many advice, models and systems to help professionals to navigate and grow their careers. BUT what I have found is that these tools were seldom adapted to my multiple identities – some of them were completely oblivious to persistent societal biases towards me.
Nonetheless I have learned to leverage these tools and biases to my benefit and it has allowed me to close to 6x my salary in a little under 10 years. My emotional and social intelligence, my interpersonal skills and my cultural acuteness grew tremendously in the process!
I help my clients to do the same through inquisitive brainstorming exercises, challenging (and sometimes uncomfortable) conversations.
My coaching services equip and empower my clients so that by the end of each mandate, they know how to source the information, resources, skills needed to achieve their goals.
Most importantly, they learn how to pivot confidently if the circumstances require it.
Who I Work With
Ambitious women with a bias toward execution benefit the most from my coaching. Otherwise, the whole transformation will just feel overwhelming for you, instead of exciting!.
More specifically, I work with:
- Soon-to-be or recent graduates;
- Entrepreneurs and founders (solopreneurs, business owners, freelance, etc.);
- Early to mid-career professionals.
Why? I am a high-performing, high-achiever woman with a very practical mindset. My clients have to be highly-motivated and achievement-orientated individuals looking to fast-track their career or entrepreneurial journey. We get things done – this time, together!
On a more personal note, supporting the success of women from diverse ethnic groups, going through what I have gone and still am going through, brings me joy and fulfillment. Particularly women of African descent and women of color (any woman who is not considered “white” or “Caucasian”).
But I welcome any opportunity to accompany a woman in her journey because at heart, I support the empowerment of every woman.
