Meet Tekena Ikoko
Executive, Wellness & Leadership Coach
Career growth requires clarity. As an Executive and Mental Fitness Coach, I specialize in frontline managers seeking Peak Performance balanced with physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
I bring clarity to achieve Executive Presence by tackling unconscious self-sabotaging patterns, building Emotional Intelligence and carving out client-customized sustainable and scalable well being habits. Also, as a public speaker, author and content creator, I can help you find your voice for relevance and strategic influence by removing limiting barriers of imposter syndrome, enhancing wellbeing habits that improve stress management and vital relationships, bringing focus and clarity that aligns with your purpose and passions.
Your goals are important, and together, you can achieve it.
As a Certified Emotional Intelligence Coach, a Tiny-Habits Certified Coach, and a Certified Positive Psychology, health and Well-Being Coach with a Masters in Business Administration, I “see” you!
I smile… It takes away a lot of tension, then I listen, and guide you to #getUNLEASHED!
I am curious and unassuming, demonstrating effective listening that has inspired my clients into over 200% ROI over a 6 – 9 months coaching journey.
I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) with over 3,000+ hours of coaching in 5 different continents, a Certified Emotional Intelligence Coach (EQCC), a leadership consultant, and an author of 16 books that sold over 1,000,000 (a million) copies.
I am widely travelled and always eager to meet new persons with profound curiosity.
With a background in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, and after 15 years in the IT sector, I was drawn into coaching by a key question, “How am I stopping myself from being the best I could be?” I found out that Emotional Intelligence is correlated with over 65% of success factors.
As a frontline manager, and/or team leader, frameworks like Executive Presence, Emotional Intelligence, and Positive Intelligence will give you real-time applicable tools to foster your personal and professional growth, build the right “success climate” and showcase “leadership that works” as a model for your friends, family, co-workers, direct reports, and more importantly, those coming after you.
If peak performance that breeds success with formidable successors is important to you, then “I SEE YOU.” Let’s connect in a safe “non-judgmental” space so that together, you and I can build emulative authentic-centered lifestyles, and give back in sustainable ways for today and tomorrow’s world.
My Philosophy
Relevance and Strategic Influence should NOT be at the cost of your happiness and fulfilment. Now, Imagine that you can both be happy, confident, tackle procrastination, focused, fulfilled and maintain a work-life balance that brings meaning to you!
I am curious to engage clients achieve meaningful success, by unwrapping salient blind spots without judgement or shame in an environment that promotes creativity required to sustain work-life balance, focus, fulfilment, and increased performance that is important to you.
