Testimonials

Dr. Julia Chinyere Oparah started coaching me in the beginning of this year. I must say that I have noticed tremendous growth and progress within my personal and professional development. I am more confident, assertive and bold...
She dare to make me visit my inner fears and find the root cause of such fears. She focuses on positive impact while acknowledging the challenges.
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Oparah for women in leadership positions seeking to enhance their careers with confidence and integrity.

I participated in executive coaching with Chinyere and it was a transformative experience. In our work together, I was able to learn methods of creating and maintaining boundaries. Chinyere also helped me see certain areas I'd characterized as weaknesses, instead as strengths. I felt tremendously supported and gained invaluable knowledge and specific resources and techniques that I continue to apply. Working with Chinyere as an executive coach has been an amazing, and positive experience!

I did several executive coaching sessions with Chinyere and they were transformative. She listened eagerly and asked nonjudgemental questions that really helped me understand and learn from my experiences. After several months in her executive coaching program, I felt much clearer about my professional goals, strengths, and the common missteps I was making that were taking the joy out of my work. She guided me through some reflective exercises around conflict management and time use that transformed my experience of work. My work relationships are less fraught and my weekends are my own again! She is a joy to work with!

I enlisted Chinyere's expertise to enhance our organization's vision and products, and since teaming up, I've secured two new consulting gigs and connected with a mentor in my field. Her coaching style is incredibly supportive and intentional, adding immense value to our collaboration. I wholeheartedly endorse her services and support.

While I’ve only started to work with Chinyere as an executive coach, I have long known her to be a creative and generous person of great integrity.  So, I overcame my skepticism toward the overall idea [of coaching] and have found her to be highly skillful at asking penetrating questions and offering directive ideas that are helping me to address challenges and increase my effectiveness.  I have already highly recommended her assistance to a number of other senior academic leaders, and especially appreciate the equity lens she brings.
