Hi, I’m Shola!

As a communication specialist and speaker, my virtual and in-person sessions help you create equitable workplaces with engaged staff.

How can I help you?

COMPANIES: Want to foster an environment where everyone feels they belong?  Perhaps you’d like to develop inclusive leaders who listen with empathy. Or diverse teams that communicate effectively and are fully engaged?

What I offer

I make keynote speeches  and deliver programmes on Empathy at Work, Empathy for Leaders, and Empathy, Diversity & Inclusion, that increase belonging, engagement and happiness at work.

And my masterclasses will help your company’s teams become clear, compassionate and radically transparent communicators. Spanning listening, inclusive meetings, allyship, presentation skills, and reducing damaging microaggressions we explore practical frameworks that help people work better together.

How I work – what makes me different

I break everything down into implementable frameworks and models. That way, as soon as you leave the session you have tools and insights you can use immediately.

I’m a LinkedIn Learning instructor, author of 2 books, and an award-winning speaker with clients located from California to Canary Wharf.

And as a woman, a person of colour and an introvert, I understand some of the struggles organisations face to create diverse and inclusive workplaces. My experience ranges from working with the STEM professions to financial services, media and healthcare.

I leave nothing to chance and make no assumptions. People call my work ‘life changing’, ‘engaging’, ‘energetic’ and ‘easy to absorb’.
