TRANSFORMATIVE COACHING

"I reached out to Buki after noticing that I was experiencing anxiety at work, which was impacting my ability to perform to my full potential. I found the coaching experience truly refreshing and enlightening and I gained a much better understanding of myself and why I was experiencing the anxiety. Most importantly, I developed solutions to overcome the anxiety. I highly recommend coaching with Buki."

Francis, Legal Director, England

"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,

Accountant & Founder of Black Professionals Scotland, Scotland

"I was at a crossroad thinking about my career, work/life balance and personal aspirations. Buki’s coaching style was very warm and thorough and really provided me with a safe space to open up and uncover the root of the issues I was grappling with so I could begin to address it. I highly recommend Buki as a coach."

Ali,

Tax Director, Australia

"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."

Busola Taiwo,

Compliance & Legal Officer, Luxembourg

"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.

I now have more clarity, for which I am grateful to Buki."

Some of the suggestions Buki made will be integrated into our D&I strategy going forward."
