Hi, I'm Buki Ishola

Welcome to Citadel Coaching!

​

Are you an ambitious African Diaspora professional or an African professional working outside your home country?

​

Do you desire to be further along in your career than you currently are?

Do you feel frustrated about being overlooked for opportunities or perhaps not being confident enough to put yourself forward for career advancing opportunities?

 

Do you find yourself more self-conscious, anxious or quieter at work and this is impacting your career negatively?


Would you like to gain insights and tools that would increase your confidence, visibility and success at work?

​

I help ambitious African professionals to rise and progress in their careers. I help you address and overcome personal challenges like self doubt, imposter syndrome or other matters that may be hindering your ability to thrive in the market place. I also help you tackle team and wider corporate challenges that may be getting in your way of progressing. I'm passionate about enabling and empowering driven, ambitious and high performing individuals to rise and thrive in their careers. Let's talk if rising and progressing is currently a short term goal for you.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

My goal for seeking a Coach was to work on my confidence. Buki asked powerful questions which brought up underlying issues affecting my confidence that I was previously unaware of. Buki helped me to see clearly where most of my insecurities originated from. This new found knowledge empowered me to change my approach in situations. I have utilised the tools Buki shared with me and there is a noticeable positive difference in the way I engage and interact with my colleagues now.  Buki was phenomenal and exceeded my expectations. It was truly a worthwhile experience.
