Hello! I'm Dr. Obioha, also known as Dr. O! I am a certified executive coach, speaker, and consultant. I have been fortunate enough to have served as a consultant, media trainer and diversity, equity and inclusion expert to C-suite leaders at organizations such as Kaiser Permanente, Wells Fargo, and Cedars-Sinai. As a wife, mother and professional I struggled however with imposter syndrome, self doubt, burn out and other challenges that kept me from reaching their full potential. I am not alone. While the number of women in leadership roles is growing, they still only occupy about 21% of C-suite positions, according to McKinsey & Company. The barriers of bias, stereotypes, and the lack of supportive workplace cultures contribute to this underrepresentation. Our mission at Empress is to close the gap by helping women leaders reach their full potential. According to a study by the International Coach Federation (ICF), about 71% of executives and senior managers report that they have worked with a coach at some point in their careers. This indicates a significant trend towards coaching as a valuable tool for leadership development. I have coached TEDx Speakers, Women Business Owners and Executives become content experts in the media, build confidence, develop their leadership skills, overcome barriers, and define their goals. I'm excited to help you too.
