Registering for her coaching program the last 3 month has been an experience that I believe money cannot quantify. She has held my hand through identifying my best capabilities and has cheered me on for every little progress I have made in gaining career clarity.
It has been a wholesome experience and I cannot wait to begin to exemplify all that I have learnt from our sessions.

Yewande helped to setup the foundation for our HR operations at Liveable and even gave us some extra time when required. Start-ups are quite different so it makes sense to work with HR professionals and consultants with extensive start-up and corporate world experience. Will recommend for start-ups looking to bring some structure to their work and people operations.

Reme Rashid, CFA
Yewande at Gokada is an exceptional leader. Her hands-on approach, strategic acumen, and ability to tackle challenges head-on make her an invaluable asset to the management team. Her impact was immediately evident upon joining, positively influencing the entire company. Yewande's professionalism and meticulousness shine through in her work, particularly in HR-related processes. She excels in recruitment, employee well-being, company culture, and performance assessments. As a listener, she is thorough and as an HR professional, she embodies objectivity, patience, and fairness. Yewande's influence is truly magical, and I consider myself fortunate to have worked alongside her in Nigeria. There's much we can all glean from her expertise and approach.

An extremely powerful story of what every Young Nigerian Graduate requires to succeed in
his/her Career in the Current Nigerian Polity after the Compulsory Youth Service Corp

Yewande Jinadu has used a pragmatic approach to bring out the problems and solutions in a sensible way that suits the conditions that really exist now, rather than obeying fixed theories, ideas, or rules.
I recommend this book as a Career Path Standard Operating Procedure for all
Undergraduates and Graduates irrespective of years of experience.

Coach Yewande recently guided me through a coaching session on emotional intelligence as part of her clarity career coaching. Her attentive and her guided questions helped me uncover the answers I was seeking, giving me a deeper understanding of my personal growth and career path.
She also introduced me to journaling, which has been an invaluable tool for self-reflection and gaining clarity. Through her coaching, I’ve realized I’m in control of my path, and it’s given me the confidence to move forward with more clarity.
If you’re looking for a coach to guide individuals or teams toward greater clarity, personal growth, and emotional intelligence, I highly recommend Coach Yewande.

Yewande knows just how to understand your career goals and communicate what you need to do to get there. She won’t impose, instead you’d realize you are just figuring it out. She knows the right questions to ask. She makes the next steps practicable and guides you through it.
