I am thrilled to talk about my experience engaging with Esther Mwihaki, the CEO of Success by Design. Esther’s profound wisdom, excellent listening skills, unmatched patience and exceptional guidance have been transformative in my professional Journey as a leader and researcher.
I learnt that there are “NO LIMITATIONS”; we only limit ourselves. Her coaching helped me understand that if you cannot go through it, around it, over it, or under it, then take another path all together.
I realized that options are always there and all I needed was to break through my self-imposed barriers and look at everything with an open mind”.

“I appreciated the discussion on the characteristics of a brand, and the examples that brought this lesson to life. I review this list weekly as I reflect on my progress and efforts as a brand.
I loved developing my brand statement. It now forms part of my bio. Before coaching, I would use these big words (to describe my value to the market) that I thought meant something.
Now my simple statement communicates who I am and the value I bring. I am grateful. I feel like I just won the lottery! Yes, I am just starting, only now I am better equipped. I have a compass and a map!”.

“This program appropriately prompts you to pause, think about and ask: Who am I (brand), especially professionally? Who do I want to be? How do I become that person (brand) I want to be? All, summed up in what I identify as the 3 cardinal Cs embedded in the program:
Clarity (defining the parameters of who you are (brand) and who you wish to be);
Confidence (humility to admit that there are grey areas that make yours an unfinished business or a brand that is a work-in-progress);
Courage (pressing your foot harder on the gas pedal and, like the Nike slogan, Just Do It

“The success by design course… provided me the perspective to help redefine what career success looks like for me, as well as gave me practical steps to take towards achieving my goals.
Please be advised, this is not a “10 step – how to” course where you will receive feel good advice and go on your way.
This course will challenge many of your perceptions, compel you to introspect and make critical decisions about your life. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone with the ambition and aspiration to become successful”.

“My WCW is Esther Mwihaki … She is the one who helps me spend hours sharpening my axe to ensure the time
I spend cutting the tree is short. Before I got an executive coach I thought it was a fad and quite unneccessary, but now looking back I can literally see the before and after Esther effect. I celebrate you”

“We give our power away in small bits and pieces and wake up one day not knowing where we are headed. Success By Design helped me clear the fog in my life and find clarity in what I value and I’m passionate about.
This has made every day and decision easier and more joyful”
