We took our work to a whole new level by delivering an International Conference that further strengthened our placement as a leading professional coaching firm, here to build Africa by building its visionary leaders.

Majestic Mindset eBook: On my birthday this year, I released a simple but profound Coaching Resource, the Majestic Mindsets Book as a conversational collection of 50 Mental Models, scripted in simplicity, to help people rewire their subconscious conditioning for a purpose-driven life full of miraculous manifestations and breath-taking breakthroughs.

These mindsets are adaptations of some of my own prominent paradigms and I have seen them activate success for thousands of people within our global community. This book has been downloaded by almost than 10, 000 people, and you can get a FREE COPY HERE.

9. Visionary Compass Accelerator Program (our elite accelerator program for the 1% best in class African visionaries to launch, grow and scale their next-level assignment) graduated its second cohort of leaders in the Class of 2022 and I am still in awe of the calibre of leaders we’ve had since start of the Program!

Future-Forward Female™ 25 Under 25 Awards

Since 2022, we embarked on a rigorous search for 25 inspiring and extraordinary young African female leaders who are breaking barriers, leading boldly, creating change, redefining narratives and transforming society for good! These young women also model our strongest values as a movement of personal transformation, visionary leadership, ethical excellence, and outstanding impact.

In 2023, we hit the goldmine! Of more than 500 unique nominations from over 2, 000 nominators, an Expert Jury selected a final 25 most outstanding awardees across the 7 Distinct Dimensions we searched for. In truth, we have all been most inspired by the outcome! There are Teenagers and Young Women who are doing great things for society, and not overtaken by social vices.

On Saturday, 30th September 2023, we hosted our distinguished guests, awardees and their families to delicately curated, exclusive event of high significance - amidst heartfelt inspiration, elegant experiences, fine dining, a truly memorable Awards Ceremony and the Release of Future-Forward Female™ Folio 2.0 The Gala featured electrifying keynotes by Mrs Adenike Ogunlesi and Olori Atuwatse III.

At Kingdom Leaders Global Alliance, I am in awe of all the amazing opportunities we’ve had to provide spiritual discipleship, ministry mentorship, communities of faith, missionary support and counselling to tens of thousands of believers this year through various outreaches.

It was a SIGNIFICANT year of Sonship, Supernatural Signs and Service for us, with a strong focus on discipleship, leadership empowerment, supernatural moves of the Spirit as well as great testimonies. We held 40+ internal and external events, which reached a cumulative of over 105, 000 direct attendees in both in-person and virtual contexts.

1. Discipleship and Call to Maturity: This year, it was a special blessing to directly disciple and mentor believers within our community through a rigorous and intensive discipleship program that has marked our ministry, and expanded our pipeline of quality Kingdom Leaders. The almost 20-week Intensive Spiritual Discipleship and Leadership Development Program delivered great counsel, and is producing clarity, courage and conviction in us! APPLY for Cohort 2 HERE.

2. Mighty Ministry Meetings: We held a number of spiritually defining meetings including Prophetic Launchpad, The Torch Gathering and DDK's Mentoring Conference, Mothers in Waiting Assembly, FIREBRAND Festival for Children & Teenagers, The Young Revivalists - Back to God Bootcamp, Mentoring Conference with DDK - Campus Edition (OAU), DDK's Intensive Leadership Development and Spiritual Discipleship Program (ILDP), Activation Vigils and Graduation Dinner, Heavenly Portals’ Meeting and Prophetic MasterClasses, KGA's 13th Anniversary Retreat & Partners Forum, Global Missions Outreach, Believers’ Camp Meeting Ibadan and Abuja. And closed out the year with Kingdom Leadership Convention 2023 and Annual Retreat 2023.

3. Call to Prayers and Fastings: This year, the Lord endowed us with grace to wait upon Him, with such rich fervency, fervour and focus! I had a private 100-Day Fast, with my sons and daughters in ministry, joining in on the last 40 Days of the Fast. We didn’t stop after that! In December, we held another 21-Day Fast, which helped us close in the year in grand style. Internally, our monthly Days of Covenant Prayers and Fasting also continued throughout the Year.

4. Laboring for our Young Ones: It gave me so much joy to honor the Lord’s call to labor over our young ones. For the first time, we held FIREBRAND Festival for Children & Teenagers, which witnessed a revival fire awakened in their hearts, alongside the launch of two FIREBRAND Novellas focused on Salvation and Holy Spirit Baptism. We also launched FIREBRAND Parents, all these books I co-authored with the amazing Minister Ibukun Akinwalire. Please access FREE FIREBRAND Kids and Parents Resources HERE. Access the FIREBRAND Novellas HERE.

I was also in OAU for a Mentoring Conference for the students, and we witnessed an outpouring of the Spirit in such great measure! Glory be to God alone.

We have been building a literal army over the last decade to drive the Transformation Mandate I have received. This year, as I stepped further back from operational work in more ways; my appreciation heightened for having a rock-solid, stellar team of Senior Leaders across our organisations.

Thank you to all leaders, stewards, partners, launch team members, volunteers, supporters, crusaders, donors, guest mentors, support coaches, co-authors, designers, media team members, publishers, friends and family who make our work, life and ministry richer in many ways. Thank you!

Each year is filled with profound insights and wisdom. As an individual as well as a visionary leader across various assignments and expressions; here are my top ten lessons from 2023!

1. Visionary Articulation: This is still a strong lesson that has remained with me! It is important to articulate what’s beating in your heart. Even if writing it scares you or makes you feel silly; doing so is the first step to giving your vision legitimate access into the earth realm. And if you’re not burning bright with a clear picture of where you’re headed, by every means, pursue foresight like your life depends on it. BECAUSE it actually does!

By the way, I will help you start your 2024 with compelling vision through my extremely beloved Visioning 2024 Summit and Retreats from Saturday, 13th January 2024. Register HERE immediately.

2. Consecration is STRATEGIC: Choosing to live your life as set apart is Spiritual, but it is also Strategic! The way to ascend to heights of personal power, purposeful prosperity and pristine productivity in life, is to move further and further into your original design and authentic identity, while staying true to your highest values and deepest beliefs. Let the knowledge of who you are shape who you choose to be, and how you show in your life, relationships, work and vision.

3. The Gift of Great People : I have always been truly blessed by God with the gift of great people, but this year, I stand in awe of the Army that builds with us! More than 2, 500 people actively served, volunteered, sponsored and partnered with us across our visionary expressions to help us execute the Mandate of Transformation. Indeed, I continue to sharpen my leadership to serve these amazing stewards, but some of my favourite tools are Love Unfeigned, Walking the Talk, Articulating the Future, Practicing Gratitude and Generosity; and Honouring Individuality.

4. Majestic Mindsets: You already know that I released a FREE Coaching eBook in 2023 by this title. More than ever before, I reaffirmed the understanding that my whole life is running on Subconscious Scripts, and no matter how great my vision is, I must carefully curate powerful paradigms that will propel my purpose. If I don’t take care of my mindset, my mindset can take me out! I’ve spent this year deepening my roots in Majestic Mindsets, Powerful Paradigms and Conscious Conditioning. Guess what, I love the impact!

5. High Supply Life : Over the last decade, I know that my voice, work and expertise have been in higher demand, especially around coaching, consulting and spiritual ministry; which has continued to produce higher impact, influence and income across all my expressions. The radical revelation that has marked my 2023 is not to focus on the High Demand Life, but on the High Supply Life. I have grown in my conviction of how God has uniquely blessed me with consistent supply, support, and surplus! And I am leaning into those unique streams of God’s Supply to me with more intention.

6. Elegant Systems are Priceless!: This decade will reward legacy leaders, value-vested visionaries and forerunners with foresight; because unprecedented opportunities and never-seen-before open doors are emerging out of crises, megatrends and a new world order. Interestingly, it is not merely great ideas that will define the leaders; but solid systems to drive high performance, cutting-edge innovation and scale-readiness. Begin to prepare! I will teach more on this during Visioning 2024 Retreat.

7. Commitment to Excellence: Here is a lesson I am still keeping here for you. The decision to be thorough, excellent, value-soaked and exceptional is not merely an ethical choice, but a business and life strategy. We have absolutely no reason to be mediocre or play small. We may start with a segment or fraction of the whole, but even in our small beginnings, we must strive to do a good job every time! This is a sign of respect for ourselves, our vision and the people we are called to serve.

8. Don’t Listen: There are naysayers and gainsayers all around, who fuel fear, distribute doubts and cancel convictions! Don’t listen. Some even go as far as spreading slander, ruining reputations and sowing seeds of sarcasm about others. Don’t listen! There are those who believe you won’t make it, and there are those who think you’re worth no good. Don’t listen. There are those who pretend to be on your side, but take sides with those who sideline you. Don’t listen! Become immune to the naysayers and gainsayers. Keep building. Maintain composure. Walk in love. Protect access. You will do great things!

9. Dominate from REST: With the degree of demand that was laid upon me this year, I placed even greater value on building Safe Spaces of Sabbath for my soul. For me, I consistently stepped away from the frenzy of work to rest and retreat, spent a lot of time with those I love, experienced the simple joys of nature, and immersed myself in good humour. I read, worshipped and cried, journalled a lot, dressed up pretty and took amazing pictures. I loved deeply and travelled a bit more. It made the difference for me! In 2024, seek to dominate from Rest! #NoOverwhelmMoreOverflow.

10. PIVOTS are Painful: Last year, I announced that 2023 was our year to #ScaleintoSignificance and #PivotintoProfit! Yes, it was so clear to me that there were transitions coming that will trigger higher transformation, and shift us into more success; but nothing prepared me for the stretch of Pivot. I learnt that true visionary leaders must stay nimble and malleable to turn from old ways of doing things, while quickly embracing the competence to create higher possibilities. It has paid off, and there’s so much more ahead.

Let’s thank God for 2023. We have a lot to be grateful for! There are even greater days ahead of us! 2024 is the Year for Resilient Resurgence, Bold Beginnings and Success Systems. We will win together!

As we step into 2024, a Year of Bold Beginnings; these are my gifts to help you step up a truly Phenomenal Year.
