Approaching people and their experiences with understanding, respect, and care.
Meet Jumi Odumosu
More Than One Path Led Me Here
My career has evolved through different roles and seasons, and each one has shaped how I understand people, navigate change, and appreciate different perspectives.
MY STORY
Different roles. Different seasons. One common thread.
Since beginning my professional journey in 2001, I have worked across different roles, industries, and countries, with much of my experience rooted in Human Resources. Along the way, I have gained valuable experience through paid and volunteer roles, entrepreneurship, and involvement in various community initiatives.
Looking back, I can see a common thread running through these experiences: people have always been at the heart of my work. Whether supporting their growth, listening to their stories, or understanding their experiences and perspectives, my interest in people has remained constant.
That common thread has shaped my journey into counselling and continues to influence my work in speaking and training today.
A LIFE ACROSS CULTURES
Different Places. Different Perspectives.
Living in different countries has shaped the way I see people and the world. I grew up in Nigeria and have since lived in the United States, New Zealand, and now Canada. These experiences have exposed me to different cultures, communities, and ways of seeing and experiencing the world.
They have also taught me not to assume that my perspective is necessarily the right one. Instead, I have learned to remain curious, listen to different perspectives, and recognize that people may see and experience the world differently from me.
What Guides My Work
Across counselling, speaking, and training, these principles shape how I work with people and organizations.
Cultural Awareness
Recognizing how culture, identity, context, and lived experience can shape the way we see and experience the world.
Curiosity
Asking thoughtful questions, listening carefully, and remaining open to perspectives different from my own.
Practical Support
Turning conversations, insights, and learning into useful tools and realistic next steps.
Beyond My Work
Beyond my work, family, faith, community, and learning are important parts of my life. I enjoy writing, reading memoirs, and travelling. These interests reflect my curiosity about people, their stories, and the experiences that shape who they are.
