Curriculum Vitae
"(3).jpg)
As Lola's Mom tells it, Lola began her informal teaching career in kindergarten! At five years old they were surprised to find her holding a "studio session" with a dozen kids in rapt attention as she regaled them with stories! But since then, Lola has been involved in formal teaching and training for almost 20 years. In addition to coaching and mentoring real estate agents, she has also mentored many young adults and been involved in writing and teaching a variety of courses which relate to professional and spiritual development.
Lola's teaching style is expressive and enlightening. She invites everyone to engage in thinking "outside the box”. Using humor and storytelling as well as practical wisdom, she "connects the dots" in ways that you may not have considered before.
Lola grew up in West Africa, in the cities of Lagos, and Jos. These two locales were about as different as any two places on the earth. The contrast of the steamy, chaotic, messy commerce driven city of Lagos where her family resided was a 180 degree opposite to the small educational community with quaint little homes, dormitories and scenic gardens of her boarding school experience in the small village of Miango, Nigeria. The juxtaposition of these two environments were critical in shaping a manner of thinking and relating which incorporates and finds meaning in elements which are seemingly contradictory. A comment frequently articulated after individuals experience a teaching or training session is: "I'd never thought of it that way!"

When I am in Grand Rapids again, I will attend one of your sessions, Lola. You and I go way back, and as I look at all you have been blessed to do, I can only sigh at how far we've come through God's grace. You are my inspiration, and I cannot help posting this even though I do it knowing the risk I take in speaking from my heart about someone who is such a dear friend and sister.
You have made my day again.
