Toluwani has now done several programmes with Common Purpose, as a speaker and participant. I have found her an outstanding orator who knows the subject of leadership from a unique and powerful perspective. Her worldview and brilliant insights are a breath of fresh air.

I have been a mentee under the supervision of Mrs Toluwani Akaehomen and her team and my experience was wonderful. I am currently working as a social care worker using my social work degree obtained from my country, Sierra Leone. This was made possible through the support and mentorship I received from the Vantage team via the Irish Refugee Council.

Hi Toluwani,
I am so privileged to be part of this program and to have met someone like, you are a star, phenomenal woman indeed. I went for my first job interview in Ireland today and was lucky enough to connect with your class for about 20 minutes and was able to use it during the interview. Thank you for uplifting the spirit of migrant women, it boosts our confidence and makes us start our lives here with resilience. We appreciate you.

You have proven the theory wrong- it turns out that you can teach an old dog new tricks!! You have shown me the value and ease of social media, among others. Thanks for the coaching and for imparting your teachings from the heart. You have provided me with a campus to navigate Ireland. In Africa we believe ‘you empower a woman, you empower a village’. With sincere appreciation.

I completed my Leadership Skills Level 6 with Toluwani. I very much enjoyed the course; it was interesting, and a very good learning experience led by a motivational tutor in a short space of time. Every learner had a unique learning experience with moments of high emotions. Toluwani was very patient, efficient and extraordinarily support towards every learner. I have done many courses over the past number of years and I can honestly say that this course was the best example of professional development I have ever experienced.

I had an inspiring training on self-confidence and leadership skills with Toluwani, and how to gain a career in Ireland, which birthed in me a need for further coaching. I have become more courageous in my potential and positively impacting my environment, especially in the area of leadership. Each of my coaching sessions with Toluwani and her team was always an awesome experience. The Vantage team, I appreciate the inspiration, transformation, and growth your impact has made in my career, I have learned new techniques and have also increased in my competencies. Keep up the good work

In May 2022, as part of an Erasmus+ funded project (SIATE – Social Inclusion of Adults Through Entrepreneurial Skills Education), I invited Toluwani to share her considerable and relevant expertise at the Irish leg of a series of five conferences regarding Social Inclusion through Entrepreneurial skills development. As part of the conference, Toluwani delivered a workshop focusing on; Capturing/maximising immigrant entrepreneurs’ human capital value, Integration & Social Inclusion viewed from an immigrant entrepreneur’s lens and, Inclusive entrepreneurship – an approach and an outcome. The presentation planning process was effortless. Toluwani’s approach was highly professional, and her workshop delivery was engaging, thought- provoking, practical, relevant and pitched at just the right level - balance was key - as there were professional educators and budding entrepreneurs from a wide range of backgrounds (cultural & geographical) and experiences in attendance. Toluwani’s workshop delivery was excellent, her interpersonal skills are second to none and her level of knowledge and expertise in this area is significant. I look forward to seeing Toluwani again at subsequent conferences as part of the SIATE project and hopefully working together in future projects. It was an absolute pleasure working with Toluwani
