You know you can do better. It is time to do the things that change things.
You have read the books. Done the courses. Hired the consultants. You can feel the gap between who you are and who you know you can be. This is coaching for the leader who is finally ready to look in the mirror and act on what they see.
You probably know already. You came here looking for someone honest enough to confirm it.
The shape of it is different for everyone. The pattern underneath is almost always the same.
You know you can lead at a higher level than you currently are.
You have read the books, done the courses, hired the consultants. The next level still has not arrived.
You suspect the next move is not about doing more. It is about being different.
You are ambitious. You are also honest enough to admit something inside is not yet moving.
You have been waiting for the right moment to do the deep work. The moment is now.
You want a coach who will not let you off the hook.

What the work changes.
In their words. Their real names. The real shifts they noticed.
Hear from a professional who did the leadership work.
Miriam shares, in her own words, what changed during our coaching journey together. The mountain she saw. The mirror she finally held. The leadership she has been growing into ever since.
I 1000% recommend. She is what I call a business therapist. The way she walks you through your own challenges is nothing short of therapy. She in fact will not tell you what to do, but she will give you prompt questions that will have you unravelling the whole yarn, then knitting it back slowly with more awareness. The clarity you gain after each session is absolutely incredible.
You are a person of integrity who values confidentiality. You are easy to talk to, because you do not judge. And yes, you are a great listener and an excellent coach.
You gave me a tour of growth from who I was to who I wanted to be and reaffirmed me to continue calling it out despite what others could say of me. You are confidential and committed to seeing positive impact.
Your coaching is the "big sister" with the big vision and the tools we all need to affirm us that we have the biggest potential and the solutions that come our way.
Working with Liza was genuinely transformative. She creates a safe, supportive space while still asking the kinds of questions that make you pause and reflect. She helps you build clarity, self-trust, and confidence from within.
Liza asks powerful questions that, when reflected on with honesty, guide you toward making the right decisions. Strong commitment to follow-through. Practical tools that are valuable for running a business.
Rediscovering the power within me to make things happen. Liza is so professional, her demeanour assuring. I have achieved a lot in a short time. Kudos to my Coach.
I would ask them to make an appointment cause it was very impactful.
Liza gets to know you and your pain points so as to work together on eliminating them one by one, session by session.
You ask the best questions. I always left our sessions having discovered my own way through your guidance. Whatever choice I make, life will grow around it. I have less fear. I feel empowered.
Working with you has been fantastic. You enabled me to come to a realisation of what I would not have realised. With this, I am now running my business smoothly and enjoying what I am doing.
Your empathy and collaborative approach make someone feel understood and supported, helping them reflect deeply and grow through your coaching sessions.

“I have seen brilliant founders with brilliant ideas fail. Not because the strategy was wrong. Because the leader was not ready.”
Liza Akinyi
I didn't read my way into this. I lived it.
15 years across 20+ African countries. 500+ founders coached. $100M+ in capital mobilised. MBA. ICF-ACC certified. IFC-LPI certified TPMA Trainer. Faculty at the Institute of Small Business Initiatives, Strathmore Business School.
I have built ventures. I have raised capital. I have approved capital. I have watched brilliant founders fail because the leader was not ready. That is the gap I help you close.
