Ikemba Coaching
About me
I am a commitment to living an authenic life.
I discovered this over several years of transformation. Through deep reflection and coaching, I learned my strenghs and embarked on a journey to be the coach that propeled two decades of creating positive transformations in our institutions across the San Francisco Bay Area and nationally.
I started Ikemba Coaching to share with you my journey's best lessons of being a working parent, a nonprofit leader, an impactful organizer and most importantly an effective coach.
Ikemba is a Adrinka symbol that means "lifelong learning".
I believe that all are on a life long journey of discovering our authenictic self and learning to BE our authentic self. Thus, it is my role as a coach to invite you to center into your journey through some radical and innovative techniques to accomplish your measurable transformations.
