Sionade is a rare talent who can combine academic research and leadership principles into strong, powerful messages that resonate across all levels of an organization. I first got to know Sionade while at Cass Business School in London. We have since stayed connected and she has been an invaluable resource for me, having most recently presented at my team offsite. I would recommend highly her work, studies on leadership and presentation material. She is a true pioneer in her pursuit of academic research and leadership excellence.

I was impressed by Sionade when I was a student at Cass Business School. She is an inspiring and accomplished academic whose vision was a clear driving force for Cass's premier position as a business school. After I moved jobs I knew that Sionade had the research skills and expertise to provide my new team some different perspectives on leadership that had practical value at work. Her work on the explorer's mindset was engaging, thought provoking and received exceptional feedback from everyone who attended the day.
