Hi, I'm Tenji

I'm an executive coach, leadership developer and speaker.

I help high-growth leaders and ambitious professionals to lead themselves, high-performance teams and organisations with greater impact, to accelerate their advancement into senior roles with authenticity, and to find deeper meaning and alignment in their careers.

My dream is for us to have abundant careers, sustainable leadership and high-functioning, healthy organisations because we live and lead with authenticity, courage and wisdom.

In my vision of abundant leadership,

We aren't afraid to lead with both our minds and our hearts.

We aren't afraid to ask the tough questions and design a new status quo instead of conforming to a model that isn't working.

We are brave enough to go deep within and uncover what's holding us and our companies back so that we can emerge more powerful and true to ourselves.

This is what will bring us high-performance, flow, and sustainable growth without burnout, disillusionment or losing ourselves.

What does an abundant career look like in real life?

Achieve lasting results by taking a holistic approach

As a growth and performance partner, I help my individual clients and corporate teams to define what great looks like, understand who they need to be to achieve the desired outcome, then help them build new capacities within themselves to show up successfully.

The 5 pillars of my approach are:

Take a holistic approach by addressing the mind, body, heart and spirit; and using the Integral Coaching Method to consider all the drivers and areas impacted, including your inner self, your outer behaviour, other people, and external systems.
Solve for the root cause by focusing not just on what you need to do, but also on who you need to be inside in order to show up in the desired way.
Design a structured programme with clear development objectives that will take you step-by-step from where you are now to where you want to be.
Bravely celebrate and leverage who you are instead of leaking energy by trying to change yourself or conform to norms.
Take real-time action and course-correct though personalised growth practices, best-practice tools and resources, and reflection exercises designed to build your self-awareness and ability to coach yourself.

What clients are saying...

Inam

Business Development Director

When I started my coaching journey, I thought I needed help to find my purpose. Through dedication, patience and a growth-enabling holistic approach, Tenji helped me to find deeper meaning in everything I do.

I am a better person because of this journey.

If you want to leave your comfort zone, eliminate self-limiting beliefs, and truly change your professional and personal life for the better, I highly recommend Tenji as your coach.

Sonam

Financial Controller

My coaching journey with Tenji unlocked my self-awareness and confidence.

Tenji helped me realise that achieving my full potential was within my reach if I focussed on my uniqueness.

Tenji helped me to eliminate the mindset that was blocking me from career progression and helped me design the practical tools I needed to build confidence and develop my leadership presence.

Tenji is thoughtful, kind and cares deeply about her clients, I appreciated the tailored approach to my personal struggles and journey.

Lienda

Investment analyst

I came to Tenji burned out and unhappy in my role. I wanted to move into a more senior role but didn't know how to do it.

Tenji helped me to create and act on a targeted approach for my promotion. She gave me tools that made a difference immediately, especially a value proposition (which I never had before) and strategies that helped me to build relationships with two senior leaders in my firm who are now mentoring me and supporting my journey.

I now feel confident that I will get into the role I desire.

UPDATE: Lienda subsequently caught the attention of a head-hunter and, with the value proposition we worked on and the confidence she had built, she landed a global role at a more senior level with higher pay!

Chiedza

Lawyer

Tenji is my go-to career advisor because she asks thoughtful questions that help me to step back and consider alternate ways to bring purpose to my career.

Her advice always addresses what I need as a person, my passions, my circumstances and my short- and long-term plans.

Whenever we work together, she leaves me with helpful resources that help me to plan out my next steps.

This is my story

The golden thread of my career - my consistent why and central how - is that I love helping people and organisations to achieve their greatest potential by figuring out what's holding them back and how they can overcome it, using my skills as an independent advisor and expert problem-solver.

I've experienced it all.

I've studied and worked in the most prestigious organisations with presidents and high-profile C-suite leaders at Harvard University, McKinsey & Company and J.P. Morgan.

But I've also burned out many times, been in roles that didn't make me happy but paid me a lot, travelled the world chasing big brands, prestige and seniority instead of meaning, health and connection. I've struggled to find my voice, fallen victim to people-pleasing and lack of boundaries and felt like an imposter sometimes...

I get it.

But I've put in the work in therapy, executive coaching and life coaching, and I’ve done deep personal development and spiritual work to raise my self-awareness, self-love and trust in life.

And now, I'm doing work that brings me joy and meaning, supports the life and connected relationships that I want to create, and I'm doing it in a way that is confident and impactful, sustainable for my health and protects my sacred relationship with myself.

I'm helping so many people by living authentically as me and trusting in abundance - I invite you into my world to do the same.
