"My coaching conversation with Buki went in a direction I was not expecting. It helped me understand and challenge some deep-rooted beliefs about myself which were hindering my ability to influence. I am now a more confident leader. I highly recommend Buki as a coach especially for those who are ambitious and seeking to go far in their career."
​
Enoch Adeyemi,

I highly recommend Buki as a coach."

​"Buki's ability to understand my mindset and how this could affect performance and motivation at work has to be the best part of our coaching sessions. Our background/ upbringing influences, who we are and how we see the world; having someone that understands that and with the personal experience of being in the corporate world really makes all the difference. I highly recommend Buki’s services."
​
Emmanuel Abiona,
Programme Planner, Sweden
"I reached out to Buki after starting my first international role and wanted a coach who could help me thrive in that role, and beyond that, help me find fulfilment in my professional life. Through our work together, I discovered a bigger why for my career pursuits and started to bring to life some of my innermost desires for my professional life. I gained practical and fresh insights to move me forward professionally. I was very pleased that it was beyond the cliches and textbook career success ideas. Amina M, Regional Finance Manager, Dubai
"Buki takes a methodological approach to identify the areas to adjust and provided me with psychological and self-observation tools, and healthy challenge to do so. I became more aware of the narratives I tell myself. She is an incredibly astute, intuitive and intelligent coach: she created a safe, open environment in which trust was cultivated and honest discussions could be had."

"Through working with Buki, I came to the realisation that I hadn’t been in charge of my career enough and had been more of a passenger than I was aware of. The experience felt like a light going on in my head - I was able to see my way out of the situation I was in and what I needed to do move forward. I highly recommend Buki as a coach, especially if you need to get out of your head and chart a career plan and path for yourself."
​
Tetiwe Moyo,
Transfer Pricing Economist, Zambia
"My biggest shifts from coaching have been expanding my mind on what’s possible for me and in my career, understanding how I get in my own way, and learning how to position myself to reach the desired level in my career. What previously seemed hard to reach now looks possible. I have renewed confidence, self-belief, and have excellent coaching notes to come back to in shaky times or when feeling tested.
Seyi A, VP, Investment Bankject Lead,
England
"I engaged Buki’s services as I was starting to think and plan for taking my business to the next level, and felt that I needed strategies to ensure that I was putting my best foot forward. Buki’s understanding of the human mind is quite simply unrivalled, and she helped me approach this from a different angle and perspective. She got me to focus on who I needed to be to reach my goals. I now have more clarity, for which I am grateful to Buki."
Taka Mbedzi,
Wealth Planner, Scotland
"Buki is refreshingly incisive. Within 15 minutes of my session with her, Buki diagnosed the root cause of the main issue I was having in my career. The value added in one session alone was unreal. She is superb at coaching and I highly recommend her services. Thank you Buki for getting me unstuck and for re-positioning me to excel in my career."
​
Chinedu Uhiara,
Senior Counsel, England
"There were many great parts about coaching with Buki. Working with her opened my eyes to see myself and value my accomplishments in ways I’d not done before, and she helped me to identify new behaviours to replace the limiting ones. She was very patient, generous and highly focussed on helping me get the results I was after."
​
Abi Deinkoru,
Oil & Gas Engineering Team Lead, Nigeria
"I needed guidance to help me with my next move and that was when I reached out and had the pleasure to work with Buki. Her coaching allowed me to look beyond my own barriers and limitations when it came to the way I viewed my career. She gave me many helpful tips and recommendations as well as personal development materials. Buki is a top-notch expert in executive career support and I heartily recommend her."

Buki led a thought-provoking session with our senior leaders on creating an inclusive workplace culture and one which supports careers of black professionals. We came away with actionable strategies and new insights into how mindset, everyday behaviours and speaking up are key. Thank you Buki - great session!
​
Jennifer Mair,

Buki has been instrumental in helping me explore from all angles why we need to have these conversations and how to do this work as an individual, a coach and a leader. I highly recommend Buki for your Executive & Leadership Teams – she is a fiercely kind but direct & challenging coach that will help you and your team transform."

"The session was invaluable as a tool for a white leadership group to gain insight into the lived experience of black professionals, the challenges they may face in their careers and, perhaps most importantly, the measures that can be put in place to make sure black professionals are afforded the same opportunities as their peers. Some of the suggestions Buki made will be integrated into our D&I strategy going forward."
Alex Allen,
Head of Public Practice
Buki’s approach to facilitating a coaching discussion with senior leaders was insightful and thought provoking. A great investment in time for exploring, reflecting and most importantly ensuring actions will help to achieve our desired outcomes. Thank you.
Alison Macdonald
