Leading executive and personal coach Kemi Nekvapil takes power personally. She knows what it’s like to be without power - and through a process of self-discovery, coaching, research and keen observation, she has redefined how we understand power, and created a framework for us to find, own and live our own limitless power.

Kemi provides her guests, and the listeners, clear, actionable takeaways to guide the journey to empowerment.
