I'm Yvonne Akinmodun, executive Career coach.
I believe you should be in charge of your career choices to truly thrive.
I specialise in supporting mid-to-senior level professionals, typically aged 38–60, who are navigating significant career transitions. Many of my clients are:
Exploring a midlife career change or facing redundancy
Considering self-employment, consultancy, or portfolio careers
Planning for retirement with purpose and clarity
Feeling stuck, undervalued, or unfulfilled in their current roles
As an executive career coach in the UK, I provide career transition coaching that helps professionals rebuild confidence, clarify direction, and take practical steps toward their next chapter
WHO I Work with
I also partner with HR and L&D leaders to deliver career development and leadership workshops within organisations.
These programmes are twofold:
Powerful Career Conversations for Managers – equipping leaders with the tools to hold effective, empowering career discussions with their teams.
Career Development for Teams – helping employees explore their strengths, identify opportunities, and take ownership of their professional growth. These workshops enhance engagement, retention, and performance, creating workplaces where both people and organisations thrive.
I work with teams to help them grow
Who I Work With
Why am I qualified to work with you?
With my background in corporate HR, I bring more than coaching. I offer insight into what employers are really looking for, how leadership hiring decisions are made, and how to position yourself powerfully in a competitive market.
Clients say I bring a calm, non-judgmental space to reflect, refocus, and reimagine what's next. You’ll leave each session with:
- Greater clarity about your direction
- Renewed confidence in your strengths
- A personalized roadmap for your next step
- Practical tools like CV, LinkedIn, and interview support
- A trusted coach who truly understands the professional world. I am a member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council, adhering to their global code of ethics.
I'm accredited in a range of psychometric tools including SHL and Strengthscope , which are useful options to help understand more about your individual and in some cases, team strengths
I am listed in the Diverse Coaches Directory helping to champion diversity in the workplace
