Learning how to move through fear, self-doubt, and overwhelm, without shutting down or overreacting.
Strengthening your leadership presence.
Learning how to articulate your value and show up with clarity, especially when the pressure is on.
Â
That’s my jam.
Â
I work with leaders and organizations navigating pressure, people dynamics, and change.
But the real work, though, starts with self-work: how you manage yourself in high-pressure moments so your communication, decisions, and relationships stay steady when things get complex.
Â
Clients come to me when they’re:
-
working to build high-performing teams,
-
trying to create spaces where people feel seen, valued, and heard,
-
navigating conflict without escalating or avoiding it,
-
and leading through change while managing their own internal pressure
As a leadership strategist and executive coach, I offer personalized coaching, organizational workshops, and AI-assisted tools (think coach-in-your-pocket support) to help leaders slow down, get clear, and respond strategically instead of reacting on autopilot.
Â
The Impact:Â
Leaders I work with have stepped into senior roles, strengthened their influence, built stronger teams, and handled difficult conversations with clarity and confidence, without losing themselves in the process.
Â
Here are a few ways you can work with me:
Leadership Coaching (VP-Level Focus)
My leadership coaching work is best suited for Vice Presidents and senior leaders navigating increased responsibility, visibility, and complexity.
Clients at this level often come to me when they’re:
-
leading larger teams or functions for the first time,
-
managing pressure from multiple directions,
-
navigating conflict or change while setting the tone for others,
-
or refining how they communicate, influence, and show up at the executive level.
While I’ve worked with leaders across industries, my sweet spot is partnering with VP-level leaders who are expected to drive results and model composure, clarity, and confidence for their teams.
Coaching focuses on self-management, communication, and strategic presence—so leaders can respond with intention instead of reacting on autopilot.
Organizational Training & Workshops
Â
I design and deliver customized leadership training for organizations across industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, nonprofit, government, and corporate environments.
While the contexts may differ, the challenges are often the same: leading under pressure, navigating conflict, managing change, and creating teams where people feel safe to speak up and contribute fully.
Formats include:
-
Leadership workshops and training series
-
Executive and management team development
-
Facilitated conversations during periods of change

Done in a Day Coaching and Consulting SessionsÂ
What may take you six-months, we can get it done in a day.
For leaders navigating high-pressure moments that require clarity, confidence, and strategic practice, I offer limited Done-in-a-Day Intensives.
These focused 4–6 hour virtual sessions are designed to help you:
-
Articulate your value with clarity and confidence
-
Prepare for executive-level conversations, promotions, or role transitions
-
Refine how you “sell” your ideas, leadership, or expertise
-
And align your message, presence, and strategy for moments that matter.
This work is especially powerful for leaders preparing for interviews, internal advancement, investor or stakeholder conversations, speaking opportunities, or increased visibility.
In 2016, Kandia helped me execute key elements of the launch strategy for The African Women in Technology (AWIT).
Kandia listened to my vision, created an awareness campaign for speaker recruitment, and led the coordination of content and speakers for panels. Kandia became a valued contributor to the conferences held in Nairobi, Kenya, and Accra, Ghana. AWIT has appeared in local and international publications and I’ve landed major partners and sponsors like Kenyatta University, Google, and Uber, and currently am planning for the next AWIT conferences in Mozambique, South Africa, Morocco, and Nigeria.
Thanks to Kandia and her team, I was also awarded Industry Power Player of the Year in March 2017.
