Career Coach, I help you with your career transition
I am Yayi, mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and above all a Woman. I live with different identities just like you!
I used to work in sectors where making a difference in the world was the stated mission. On paper. Because the reality was quite different and I ended up realising that despite the lofty mission statements, there wasn’t scope for me to realise my full potential. I was very unhappy about the lack of meaning in what I was doing and I would regularly ask myself :
How can I actually make the world better? What is my calling?”
One day, I realised that when I was carrying out an activity I enjoyed, everything looked effortless and easy, people would seek out my services and I would experience success.
That was the beginning of my Talent-Based Career theory! By following my natural abilities, in other words my talents, I was doing what I love, what I do well and what I get recognition for !
From that day on, I decided to cultivate my own unique talents and use them to build my career. I founded Umanda Coaching where I help women to successfully navigate career transitions and their career in general and women managers to be amazing soulful team leaders.
Why would you trust me?
You don’t have to! I can however relate to the feeling of wasting your precious time in a soulless workplace, overinvesting energy and time in pointless projects and seeing someone else getting credited for your work.
I know what it is to have lost confidence and self-esteem after you burned/bored out.
I know how important it is to have someone who understands and never ever judges you by your side.
