Bio
As a somatic practitioner, poet and guide for creative leaders in transition, Nyamwathi (Nyam) Adodoadji's coaching and creative work explores themes of identity and human becoming in an era of tectonic societal shifts.
As a former tech consulting professional leading digital product delivery for past clients such as Kia, Microsoft, Visa and LGE, the pandemic forced her to confront a 14 year cycle of crushing workloads, unsupportive managers and burnout.
Discovering others that used career breaks to redirect their life trajectories, she took her own one year career break in 2022, in which she traveled to Mexico, Portugal, Ghana, Colombia and Spain. Through her sabbatical, she sifted through her pain to craft a mosaic of her life’s broken pieces and learned the power of intuition and the body’s wisdom.
She coalesced these experiences, her poetry craft and 14 years of leading ops and strategy for creative design into a life and career design coaching practice. Through her practice Nyam empowers creative, curious leaders to access their inner wisdom and somatic intelligence during life and career transitions. You can connect with her on LinkedIn and Substack.
