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.

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.
