You’ve worked hard to get here—now it’s time to own your seat at the table.
• You’re stuck in the shadows despite your hard work, watching others get credit for your ideas.
• You hesitate to speak up in meetings, doubting whether your voice carries enough weight.
• You feel the pressure to “tone it down” or fit into a mold that doesn’t honour your authenticity.
• You know deep down you’re capable of more, but fear and imposter syndrome keep you from showing up and taking bold action.
A transformative, bite-sized leadership coaching experience designed to help you:
•Gain crystal-clear clarity about what’s holding you back.
•Cultivate the confidence to step into visible leadership.
•Create a clear, actionable plan to accelerate your leadership journey.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. The Leadership Breakthrough Intensive was created as a first step to help high-achieving women like you break free from self-doubt, overcome visibility fears, and step into the leadership roles you’ve earned—confidently and authentically.
I’ve coached 150+ women into senior and executive leadership roles. I know what it takes to overcome the internal and external barriers that stand in your way—and I’m here to guide you through it.
We’ll kick off with a tailored assessment to uncover where you’re at and where you need to grow.
A powerful, one-on-one session where we’ll break through your biggest roadblocks and craft your personalised roadmap to fearless leadership
Two weeks later, we’ll reconnect to celebrate your wins, tackle any challenges, and ensure your momentum continues.
This isn’t just coaching—it’s a focused, transformative intensive designed to empower you and deliver actionable strategies for impactful leadership success.
My mission is simple: to empower women from the global majority to step boldly into senior & executive roles and own their seat at the leadership table.
I partner with individuals and organisations to equip women of colour with the mindset, strategies, and confidence to thrive at the highest levels of leadership—boldly, unapologetically, and authentically.
Everything I offer—from leadership programs to one-on-one coaching—is designed to help you overcome systemic barriers, silence self-doubt, and unlock your fullest potential. This is your space to rewrite your narrative and lead with impact and purpose.
As an ambitious ex-corporate leader turned certified coach and entrepreneur, I bring a unique blend of lived experience, proven strategies, and heartfelt coaching that elevate the leadership journey and careers of my clients.
Grab my free e-book, "Unapologetically Visible: Own Your Seat" and take a bold step toward the confident, visible, and impactful version of yourself that’s ready to rise.

I have had the privilege of working with over 150+ coaching clients and partner with leading organisations worldwide. Here is what some of them shared and published on LinkedIn.
Prof. Bernadine Idowu
University of West London
"I have heard about coaching and what it could lead to, I was a bit of a skeptic, until I met Nelly.. I seriously recommend coaching by Nelly to everyone! What I specifically like about Nelly’s style is I can bring my authentic self and I am respected and encouraged to do so."
Vivien Kintu
Senior EDI Manager
"I walked into this coaching programme burned out, overwhelmed with life and feeling incredibly isolated. I've walked out of it self assured, firm boundaries in place, a five year plan with a firm one year plan, an amazing relationship with a coach who honestly feels like a friend. Nelly is the type of coach that everyone should experience in their lives at least once. She is gentle but firm, helps you dive deep into who you are, what you stand for and who you want to be as a leader, and creates a safe space all the way".
Adura Odeye
Creative Director and Founder
"Working with Nelly has been one of the best investments I have made in my personal development and business. Her genuine passion, commitment, and depth of experience in helping you grow and realize your best self goes unmatched. I 10/10 recommend!"
Abigail De Kosnik
Associate Professor
"Nelly is an extraordinary career coach!!! It has been such a pleasure to work with a fellow woman of color who has the experience, knowledge, skills, energy, and attitude to help me focus my goals, lay out what steps I need to do to achieve them, and inspire me!!!! I would recommend Nelly to anyone, and am looking forward to resourcing her regularly to hone my professional growth plan."
Dr Sally Osei-Appiah
EDI Learning & Development Manager
"I loved working with Nelly as my coach. From the very first time I spoke with her, I knew I wanted more sessions with her. Nelly will challenge you, healthily, to step outside your comfort zone, believe more in yourself, dream big (or bigger) and go for what you want! If this is the kind of coach you're looking for, Nelly is definitely your person."
