Life Coaching

I reached out to Shola when I needed help and direction in setting up a social media presence and blog. We worked together over a period of several months. I found her to be extremely organized, efficient, and supportive. She made me commit to short and long-term goals, to accomplish what I had set out to do. Shola is extremely knowledgeable and always had many suggestions and resources for me to look up. Even despite that, I noticed a humility that is rare to find – she would always take down notes, promise to look things up, and get back with me, etc. I found her session summary notes very helpful and even now, 1 year after, I still refer to them to stay on track with my program and goals. She is very dedicated and with a “can do” attitude that is very helpful for an uncertain beginner. If you have a sense of what you want to accomplish, and need help with fine-tuning, direction, and tools, she is definitely one to connect with. I have grown from an aspiring blogger, to an established social media doc with a clear niche, and author of a book. Shola is the sort of coach that can get a beginner to the next level and to accomplishment!

Shola is a wise investment. She benefits you with a roadmap, a strategy, an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of your unique personality, how to maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses, she handles her velvet covered pointed stick with directness and compassion, and she has practiced and continues to excel and grow in what she offers. She is not giving you information, but rather years’ worth of experience in a six month download. Humility, power, proven success and a genuine and personal approach are what make her a wise investment in yourself.

I love her balance nuggets. They are things you knew deep down but just need someone to put it into words. Thanks for taking the time and efforts to do this.

Thank you for everything. I appreciate all you do. I’m grateful for this {coaching} and I’m grateful for you. If you ever stop to wonder why you answered the call…take a look at my life and be sure you did the right thing.

Sometimes we all need a listening ear and emotional support. That was me in early to mid 2017. I had so much going on in my life and it was a blessing to connect with Shola. Her ability to connect and listen, to emphasize, and share useful/relevant anecdotes from her own life, uplifted me at a very difficult time. Even when she could not relate, she would take a minute to acknowledge my difficulties and that meant a lot. She would try to offer suggestions, from experiences or the Bible. She encouraged me to cut out unnecessary stress. Most importantly, she taught me that I am good enough, and to take pride in being just me. I learned a great deal from her and I found emotional healing that has continued to endure. I can confidently say that I am in a much better place, Praise be to God. I am very grateful to Shola, truly.

Shola was a key factor in the publishing of my first children’s book. Though I had written the book several years prior, I found myself meeting various roadblocks in my quest to bring my vision to life. Once I began working with Shola, I was able to determine a true direction for my project. Not only did she provide me with actionable feedback, she provided support and knowledge that I had not yet encountered on my journey. Shola helped me put my dreams to work, and for that, I am forever grateful.

This year I decided to venture out of my comfort zone of medicine and into the word of literature. I knew it was my passion but had no clue how to start. By happenstance I found Dr. Shola and it has truly been a Godsend! I went from almost being paralyzed from the unknown of how to start to truly being excited about the process because I had found someone who was truly invested in my success. She has been an amazing coach and an even better friend.

The process of writing a book could be a bit daunting especially if it’s your first time and you’re self-publishing. During the writing process, a lot of time I thought to myself that they were other books out there on confession and so I stopped writing sometimes Getting a coach was the best decision I made where my book is concerned…I didn’t just get a coach, I got Dr Shola @sholashade1 …Her energy is contagious! After speaking with her once or twice, I literally felt I was holding my book in my hands. She referred me to the best from editing, layout, ISBN, copyright etc I still hear her voice saying, ‘You need to talk more about your book on social media’, ‘People don’t know you’ve written a book until you tell them and when you tell them, tell them again’ Thank you Dr Shola. Don’t spend all your life wishing to write that God given idea, get a coach, get Dr Shola!

Dr. Shola was simply amazing at the Women Empowerment Conference that I hosted in 2018. Energetic, engaging and captivating are just some of the words that I will use to describe her presentation style. Her insight was practical and left the audience inspired to do more. I would highly recommend Dr. Shola as a keynote speaker for any event or initiative.

Dr Shola Ezeokoli is an excellent teacher and coach. She has spoken several times at our church RCCG RPA ,Dolton, IL. She ALWAYS leaves us wanting her to come back soon for some more.

RCCG Dolton

Wow!!! Dr. Shola, thank you for delivering such an energetic talk on BALANCE! “Having it All, Without Doing It All!”, is contrary to how women typically think. In order to get it all done, it’s often thought we have to do all the work too. We were left enlightened on the importance of self-care and setting boundaries to achieve stress-free lives. Here’s to avoiding burnout through prioritizing self, without the guilt and empowering others how to do the same.
