CLIENT REVIEWS

Straight from the Source

"I had the pleasure of meeting Elsie Akinsanya during a pivotal time in my career when I had 10+ years of technical and leadership experience, a burgeoning network and a healthy reputation but was not quite sure how to break out of middle management and into a space where I could hold true responsibility for transformative strategy.   What struck me first was Elsie’s warm and engaging approach to simply getting to know me; which she quickly followed by an honest assessment of how I was viewed in executive circles.  With a clear understanding of my strengths, she got down to the business of being the executive coach that I desperately needed.  In every discussion, Elsie knitted her hard-earned wisdom, built on decades of senior HR experience, leadership development and personal achievements.   She offered clear and immediately useful advice which, when employed, enabled me to achieve the improbable aspiration of being promoted to 1 of 50 Black Managing Directors in a global fortune 500 firm.
I’ve watched Elsie selflessly invest in the lives of countless colleagues on the precipice of a breakthrough.  This while holding down an incredibly critical role as the head of HR for a $9B multi-national financial instruction.  She did so simply because it feeds her personal passion to coach and develop those in need of her special brand of insight.
If you are at a stage in your career where you know that there is so much more ahead, but the way forward requires illumination, I highly recommend that you invest in executive coaching with Elsie Akinsanya”
