WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Wumie Emeziem
Mom, Mentor, Ministry Leader. Kingdom now Kulture | Halifax, NS
Before working with coach Remi, I struggled to understand my daughters' personalities and struggles which seemed to evolve daily, causing tension and rifts in our relationships. She helped me work through assessing each of them and unveiling their strengths, likes, dislikes, and areas of weakness while encouraging them to be confident in their different abilities.
Today, I can relate with each of them in a friendly manner, which encourages them to be their best and stand out, putting their best foot and strengths forward. If you are struggling with harnessing the strengths within your own personality or helping your children develop into their own person, I highly recommend working with coach Remi Ayodele.
Christine Benson
Mom, Women’s Group Coordinator | California
Prior to working with coach Remi Ayodele, I was looking to engage my daughter in some thing(s) that will help her learn and grow and stretch her, equip her in leadership skills and help her have good friendships.
The Empowered Young Women program she prescribed for my daughter is excellent. It's interesting to see my daughter learn about herself, recognize her skillsets, and know that she can use them even in situations where she usually will not feel confident. In addition, it has equipped her to focus on being more independent in her decision-making and responsibility for her activities and work.
Finally, it trained her to navigate differences that arise in friendship and relationships. The EYW program equips and builds young women in practical but powerful ways. It's amazing. We are grateful to you, Remi.
Sabrina Ochoa
Mom, Business Owner | California
Before working with Coach Remi Ayodele, a challenge I had was looking for better ways to communicate with and understand my daughter and her way of thinking. She helped me work through the mother-daughter communication, and I could engage with my daughter and have a closer relationship.
As a result, my daughter and I got closer, and I know her better now, and consequently, I can better help her in the future. If you struggle with improving mother and teen daughter communication, I highly recommend working with Coach Remi.
Mary Chew
Mom | California
The Next Generation Empowerment came at a season in my life, as a parent with two teenage daughters, that was immensely crucial.
I can honestly say I feel that God used Remi to throw me a lifeline during a time when I was rapidly sinking and greatly struggling to navigate the turbulent waters of (my children's) adolescence. With raging teenage hormones almost capsizing the raft, coach Remi provided techniques & tips for necessary survival.
If you are a parent who desires the ultimate success plan for your children, I highly recommend Coach Remi Ayodele!
May you be inspired!

I highly recommend Remi and her amazing Next Generation Empowerment coaching experience for moms and pre/teen girls! With her vast education and personal “mom knowledge”, Remi breathes fresh life into her clients’ mother/daughter relationships. She helps moms discern their daughters’ uniqueness and gifting, empowering them to mentor their daughters into stepping into their God-given identity and purpose with self-confidence! Remi is all about inspiring moms to help their teens maximize their potential and communicate effectively, leaving a lasting legacy!

Mom, IT Consultant | Nova Scotia, Canada
"I used to struggle with effective communication with my teenage daughter before working with Coach Remi Ayodele. I asked myself questions like, 'Am I communicating well?' 'How can I get a positive response from my daughter?' 'What can I do to encourage a relaxed, non-tense environment at home?'
Coach Remi helped me work through these issues and identify the changes I needed to make in my parenting and communication approach. Today, I'm more tolerant and flexible, and I'm confident in my ability to communicate with my daughter. So, if you're ready to put an end to misunderstandings with your teenager, take the first step and work with Coach Remi Ayodele."
Linita Burnley
Mom, Therapist | California
As a parent with good communication skills, I often wondered about the best way to communicate with my teenagers. I felt like they weren't really listening to me. However, after completing the Family Communication DISC Training, I gained a deeper understanding of each family member's personality and learned how to resolve conflicts together. As a result, our family has become more open and willing to listen to each other.
In addition, the course has also helped me evaluate myself for work and provided helpful next steps and quick tips for parenting. And my teens agree that we now communicate better as a family. I highly recommend taking the family training with Coach Remi.
Julie Waters
Mom | California
My son, a junior in high school and a student-athlete, was unsure about what he wanted to study in college.
Coach Remi prescribed the DISC career success personality report, which gave insights into my son's unique personality, learning style, strengths, response to change, and valuable motivators. It also identified areas of personal growth and provided insights into the best career matches.
During our coaching session, the report revealed some factors affecting my son's motivation due to our relocation, which was getting in the way of him being his best as a student-athlete in our new environment.
This new information equips my son to explore and narrow his college career choices. In addition, the DISC report provides me with relevant information to share with my son's teachers and coaches so they can support him using practical motivators to spur him toward success.
