Hi, I'm Dumi Senda
In just four years I went from a life of menial labor with no prospects to University of Oxford Master’s Graduate, Global Inclusion Expert and internationally sought-after Career Coach.
Now I work with global brands on improving their productivity through widening diversity and inclusion strategies and providing staff development training. I also coach people around the world to maximise their career potential and to live purposeful and impactful lives.
