Meet Maiyo

Hello and welcome! 🙂

I’m Maiyo.

Thanks for visiting my corner of the internet.

Do you want to have a more fulfilling career?  Do you want to get more out of life? I’ve been there.

I had a nice public relations & communications management role in corporate South Africa that afforded me a comfortable middle-class lifestyle – life was good!

However, as time went on, I couldn’t ignore the growing feeling that there was something more waiting for me beyond corporate. Uncertainty filled my mind, but deep down, I knew I was destined for a different path.

Driven by a desire to uncover my purpose and meaning, I embarked on a soul-searching journey and discovered I am a natural-born chief encourager. An eternal optimist, I find joy in bringing out the best in everyone and helping them find solutions.

Armed with the realisation of my strengths and talents, I took the proverbial ‘leap of faith’ and opened up for business.  I now empower individuals, teams, and organisations to navigate change, maximise potential, and become more of who they want to be.

Career highlights:

• Coaching C-suite executives at large-sized organisations
• Subject-matter trainer on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging at Institute of Directors South Africa
• Career Coach for learners at the London School of Economics and Kings College London
• Standard Bank Top Women Awards Moderator
• Masterclass facilitator at Swinburne University Online, Australia
• Respected voice on transformation and personal development; featured on Channel Africa, Kaya FM, Talk Radio 702, You FM, Cape Talk, Destiny Magazine, Bizcommunity & more

I love the outdoors and enjoy solitary hikes; it’s my cherished “me-time” to recharge and energise. An open-minded person, I embrace diverse ideas and perspectives. Cultivating my passion for growth, I treasure; reading, listening to podcasts, and engaging conversations.

I’m a quintessential African with a global citizen mindset; I’ve lived and traveled to different parts of Africa, the USA, and the United Kingdom. I enjoy cultural experiences and have been exposed to many traditions and customs, a strength I use to foster relations with diverse individuals, teams, and organisations.
