About Oma
Oma Edoja is a coach, personal development teacher and founder of Career and Life Renew. She has been actively writing and teaching in the personal development field since 1995. She holds a Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Benin, Nigeria, a Life Coaching Diploma (distinction) from the School of Natural Health Sciences, London, UK, a Youth at Risk Performance Coach Training Award, a Coaching Certificate from The Coaching Academy, London, UK and an NLP Diploma from NLPexcellence, UK. She writes the column Make Sense of Your World with Oma Edoja in the New African Woman magazine.
Oma is passionate about helping woman build the lives and careers of their dreams. She is proof that it is possible to re-invent yourself and build the life you want. When Oma burned out as a teacher in 2002, fatigued and overweight, she embarked on a lifestyle change. She dropped 3 dress sizes and followed her writing and speaking passion. This saw her featuring several times as a motivational speaker on Nigerian cable TV. Several years later, now following loftier goals, she underwent yet another re-invention, this time relocating from Lagos, Nigeria to London, UK, her birthplace. There she retrained as a Coach, also studying NLP. She took a business course and set up her Life and Career coaching practice, Career and Life Renew.
Oma has overcome amazing odds, including domestic violence, poor self-esteem in her early years, culture shock on relocation, unemployment and homelessness. Her message to her clients is, "If I can overcome the odds, so can you. I've learnt how it works, and I'm here to support you through your transition."
Clients who are attracted to Oma find themselves battling many odds. Having overcome much adversity Oma is able to empathise and coach from congruency. However, she is also able to add to the mix just the right amount of discipline and focus. She knows too well that a Pity Party is not what her clients need!
If you would like to make lasting changes in your life and career, face difficult challenges and need a coach who has been-there, done-that, Oma is the coach for you. Ideally, you will not mind trying new approaches, be ready to take responsibility, be happy to do some hard work on yourself and be serious about making things happen. In return, Oma commits to supporting you in an atmosphere of trust and acceptance, and helping you grow towards your goals.
