Leading Without Shape-Shifting: How Dr. Olapeju Went From Hospitalist to C-Suite Coach

Kimberly Reynolds

In this episode, you'll hear from the brilliant and deeply grounded Dr. Olapeju, Nigerian-born physician, wife, mother of four, and powerhouse leadership coach. Through her faith-rooted company, EdifyPreneur, Dr. Olapeju helps high-achieving women rise into leadership without losing themselves in the process.

She shares how her coaching journey began at just seven years old in Lagos, Nigeria, where witnessing her mother serve as a community nurse sparked a passion for healthcare access and impact. From nearly matching into dermatology to choosing internal medicine and ultimately pivoting to leadership coaching, her story is a masterclass in following purpose over prescriptions.

Together, we unpack:

  • Her bold transition from clinical medicine to corporate leadership.
  • Why real transformation starts with self-coaching.
  • How she helps her clients rise in their careers without shape-shifting or burnout.
  • The faith-fueled mindset behind her coaching framework.
  • What it really takes to sign your first coaching client (hint: it’s not about your website).
