My 3-Step Career Coaching Approach

Step 1. Establish your personal motivation

In our initial conversations, I like to learn about your personal journey and understand your “WHY?”. The security profession is a challenging career choice so I try to explore your motivations and understand what you’d like to get out of the relationship.

Step 2. Establish and agree SMART goals

Whether you’re looking for short term coaching, or a longer term mentoring relationship, I’d like to help you develop Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound (SMART) goals.

Step 3. Help you stay accountable

Your security career is ultimately yours to drive. I help you take ownership while providing accountability. We will establish periodic check-ins and milestones and work through obstacles that could hinder your progress.

If you are ready to take the plunge, let’s explore your motivations, strengths and weaknesses to see if a career in security is the right fit for you and if it is, let’s find you the right pathway into it.

Success Stories

It is very rare to come across seasoned Information Security professionals who find time to groom others professionally as well. It is equally a rare opportunity to have a mentor (in the same field) who’d show you the ropes and keep prodding you on to become the best you can be. His patience, resilience and passion always take the front row when offering assistance in dealing with issues in the field of cybersecurity. I am fortunate to have Omo as my mentor.

F. Nnoli

Omo is a reliable and diligent professional. He has an excellent knowledge of the key principles of information security, both the technical and management aspects. He often offered his support and guidance to his peers and other team members; this made him a popular and a "go to" person in our team.

J. Tsang

A fantastic manager who is always keen to pass on his treasure trove of knowledge. Omo is the go-to person for all things security related. I owe a lot to Omo both as a colleague and as a friend.

D. Ahmed

Omo has been very helpful in mentoring me as I navigate my early career. He has given me valuable insights and lessons concerning the cybersecurity realm as a whole, whilst always advising me on any problems I come across that required a more experienced POV. Overall, my relationship with him as a mentor/student has been invaluable.
