Irene Poku

I coach leaders to identify their core values, interrogate their beliefs and lead from a place of strength and self-belief. My coaching style is holding a mirror up to my clients to create self-awareness and uncover their superpower.

I facilitate workshops and provide 1:1 coaching to leaders at various levels in organisations. Primarily I focus on the following:

• Raising self-awareness to unearth unconscious bias and to promote inclusivity
• Provoking thoughts to help my clients to embrace cognitive diversity and promote authentic leadership
• Working with clients seeking to align themselves more with their character strengths/core values to enable them achieve the success they desire
• Professional Background:
  Executive coaching of leaders from various sectors including finance, higher education, pharmaceutical and healthcare
• 20+ years of experience within the pharmaceutical industry as a pharmacovigilance expert and project manager
• Portfolio non-executive director with expertise in working within matrix organisational structures to deliver projects efficiently and within set timelines

I draw from my corporate experience and my coaching skills to support individuals and groups to find their focus/purpose and enable them to unearth the best version of themselves.
