2 ABOUT KEMI Kemi does not look like your average speaker, and she is not your average speaker. She speaks with a unique voice, which balances candour and compassion. She is dynamic and engaging, a master communicator. Kemi has motivated many groups and organisations around the world, speaking in Europe, Africa, USA, Asia and Australia. Kemi has the ability to communicate her message to people in a way that is attuned to the cultural context of her audience. Driven by clarity and connection, Kemi s desire for every attendee is that they leave her presentations with confidence, clarity and tools for action. To only inspire an audience feels like a disservice, so the intersection between action and sustainable growth is where I do my best work. As an executive and personal coach, building trust is natural to Kemi; her intuitive way of reading an audience is one of her innate skills, and it allows her to engage with her audiences in a way that opens up the potential of the room and deepens the conversation. Her unique gift is to empower meaningful action and shift an audience to fulfill their potential. A professional actor for many years, including working with the Royal Shakespeare Company and The National Theatre, Kemi is not only a great storyteller, she knows how to capture and hold the attention of 2 Kemi s dynamic presentation had everybody truly engaged and hanging on every word. The content was authentic and meaningful and really connected with our team of sales and education staff. Kemi s style of delivery coupled with her fabulous sense of humour really ensures the message is remembered long after the presentation. Many of the team members commented to me that they felt Kemi was speaking directly to them, the queue for her book-signing was proof itself! I would highly recommend Kemi to any team looking for inspiration, motivation and powerful guidance. - Dermalogica 3

8 Kemi spoke at Randstad s Directions event and has created an inspiring movement amongst our members. We engaged Kemi to speak at two educational seminars held for our high end clients.

Kemi was a breath of fresh air and an amazing presenter who would love to welcome back again in the future. - RANSTAD We were so honoured to have Kemi as a key-note speaker on the first Big hearted business weekend. Her generosity, integrity and absolute skill with the audience was obvious from the (literally) hundreds of comments we received from attendees about how much inspiration they had gleaned from Kemi s presentation. She was not only warm and hilarious, she was also a life-changer for many of the women there (myself included). - Clare Bowditch Her presentations truly hit the mark according to our brief, and although our audience was slightly different on each occasion, (first seminar junior staff, second seminar business principals), Kemi was careful to adjust her content, ensuring both presentations held relevance and appeal for both audiences.

She lit up the room, kept what can be a tough crowd completely captivated, and was an absolute delight to work with!
