'Detola Amure

Productivity & Leadership Transformational Coach

Helping you birth your dreams confidently

Hi, I’m Detola! Glad you stopped by!

Hello!

My name is Detola Amure. I am a wife to an amazing man and a mother to our four children, one of them lives in heaven.

I love reading, having fun, travelling, connecting with others, researching, writing and these days recording videos and webinars!

I started my career in Management Consulting and then moved on to work as a Business Analyst for 13 years where I analysed processes and systems for various organisations.

I started my coaching practice 10 years ago where I mentor, coach and empower women to be the best they can be by living purpose-driven lives. Through coaching, I help women birth their purpose and support them on their life journey. 

I am an Amazon Bestselling Author, global John Maxwell Coach, Trainer & Speaker, Certified DISC Behavioural Trainer, cohost of the When Life Stops Podcast and an International Speaker.

I have been speaking publicly for over 10 years and support audiences in living a life of purpose, maximising their time and developing confidence (just to name a few). 

I am particularly passionate about speaking on productivity, confidence, grief and emotional resilience.

 On my birthday in 2021, I kickstarted a foundation called My Little Warrior Child to support bereaved parents.

My journey to grief recovery began when my third child, twin boy MoraC passed away suddenly at 7 months, two days before Christmas in 2018. This sent me to a dark place and thought I would never come out.

Friends and family tried their best to comfort me but their words did not help and at times it made me feel worse or even angry. I would be told to “be strong”; or they would compare losses.

I knew I had to find a way to rise above this tragedy especially if I wanted to continue to coach and mentor other women. 

For a long time, I tried to overcome the pain by myself, but after many failed attempts I realised that I needed a helping hand.

This came in the helping hand of a mentor, coach and right associations enabling me to live out my purpose confidently and showing me steps to apply to move forward after loss. My healing also came when I took the action steps from the Grief Recovery Method. 

Perhaps you are alone struggling with a loss of a loved one or trying to find your purpose, I would love to share with you the steps I applied to transform my mindset and life.

How I moved from living an average life to manifesting my dreams

I began to research, read, learn and implement strategies that tremendously helped me cope with prioritising and combining work and home effortlessly. I invested in group coaching, I attended business meetings to network with other women and hired my own coach.

I have come to understand that this life is a journey of excellence and not of perfection. 

Now I have moved from a state of living an average life to manifesting my dreams.

A lot of women have BIG dreams but they are lacking in confidence, direction, support and motivation. They are in fire fighting mode and distracted so can’t focus on their priorities. This used to be my story.

For a long time, I ran around in circles until I found and embraced my purpose. For years I did what everyone expected from me but I was unfulfilled. I worked in top organisations, I got a great paycheck at the end of the month but I knew deep down I was created for more. I was hungry for more and I sought help. I didn’t try to figure it out by myself. 

Now I can confidently say that I am living a life of purpose. I will like to show you the steps I applied to get me there so that you can also confidently live out your purpose. Through the help of mentors and the right association, I have been able to embrace my chosen assignment and I will like to offer you the opportunity to work with me on your new journey.
