When I decided to become a Business Coach, I never imagined how much my life would change.
Prior to this time, I struggled to get my own unique identity.
From the outside, I appeared to have had it all. I had a bagful of degrees, a good job, and a great family and I lived in beautiful Toronto.
As a matter of fact, I took my company to victory in a malicious legal suit in 2016 so my career was at an an all-time high, and take it or leave it, I was in great shape.
I was also very active in church, committed to soul-winning and had great (and not-so-great) friends, but something was clearly missing.
I had a lot of people telling me that I was to them like a breath of fresh air but the impact that I was making never felt like it was enough.
I knew I was not using my talent and gifts to their fullest extent and I was looking for ways to improve and make the most of my life.
In 2015, I heard about Tamara Lowe and attended her Bootcamp.
From the boot camp, I got a wave of clarity but I needed extra motivation to take a big risk, make a big move, throw away my plans, and create a new one that’s ripe with possibility.
After three bootcamp seasons, [please don’t ask how that was even possible – I did it :)]
I felt equipped and started coaching and mentoring, but while I helped people build their dreams, I constantly wondered, ‘What am I doing this for?’
The money was good, but happiness to me while still making money was more important. The thought of going another year helping people and not really taking a chance at who I wanted to be scared me.
In 2022, I auditioned and got admitted into Coach Tam’s inner circle.
In the first few months, it was intimidating, but once I opened up and had faith in the process, everything fell into place.
Then came the clients, opportunities, and fresher insights.
In the last two years, God has caused my path to cross the paths of several other great coaches like Maria Wendt, Amaka Nma, Temi A Ajibewa, Imaobong Odutola; and I can testify that every single day, I am receiving
– Fresh perspectives on personal challenges,
– Enhanced decision-making skills,
– Greater interpersonal effectiveness, and
– Increased confidence.
Today, I am even more fulfilled as I watch my clients
– Live their dreams
– Enjoy self-efficacy
– Publish the books they have always wanted to write
– Launch out programs including those without precedence; and
– Enjoy work-life balance
As a coach, I guide my clients on a journey to uncover their deepest desires, and then I help them create an action plan to actually get them there.

Along the way, I provide them with insight on their performance/behavior and any tools and resources that will accelerate their growth.
It is the life I was born to live and I am actually living it now.
Now that’s my story.
Now you know mine, I want to ask:
Can you remember why you decided to start doing what you currently do for a living?
Share in the comments, I’d love to hear from you.
