“You can't heal,
what you don't reveal.”
Sope Agbelusi
Sope Agbelusi
Founder, Executive Coach, Podcast Host, and Speaker, MindsetShift
I am a husband, father and someone who is on a mission to help leaders, founders, entrepreneurs, and organisations step outside their box. At age fifteen, I was a four-years-in Nigerian immigrant to the UK, and I was miserable. Not because I felt excluded, but because space had never been created for me to be included on my own terms. In those four years, I'd worked so hard to fit in I'd trapped myself in a box that had no room for my divergent, contradictory identity. No room for myself, in full. For most people, wherever they find themselves in their lives, that box I discovered is there. It comes in all shapes and sizes. It holds everything from fears to limiting beliefs to mindset. It's solid, and it's massive.
