about me

Co-Active Coach and Narrative Guide

My skills as a Co-Active Coach and Narrative Guide began when I learned the power of stories at a young age. After my father died, he left me a treasure box of books, including a collection of Shakespeare’s short stories. As I sat alone, guarding our maize farm from monkeys, those stories were my solace. They helped me endure the pain of loneliness and kept my dream of becoming a writer alive.

Years later, stories continued to be my lifeline. After an eight-day stay in police custody, the stories I told myself were what saved my sanity. When I had no job prospects, storytelling helped me land a position as a TV Producer in 2008 at the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation—a role I wasn’t academically qualified for. By using my creativity to solve problems, I connected with my employers and colleagues, opening doors to numerous opportunities.

This passion for stories led me to start a weekly program for 100 young male offenders at Nairobi Remand Prison in 2012. My work with them birthed Lifesong Kenya, an organization that has survived because of my ability to write and tell powerful stories to both supporters and beneficiaries.

In 2014, when I met the love of my life with no money to my name, I didn’t dwell on what I lacked. Instead, I used the magic of storytelling to paint a picture of our future together, and it worked.

I bring this same passion and commitment to my work with you. My goal as a Co-Active Coach and Narrative Guide is to help you succeed by providing the skills, resources, and coaching you need to amplify your brand and mission.
