“Lanre Sulola and his team ran a workshop yesterday afternoon, the event was a wonderful success. It left me with a sense of people having made a real difference.

All who attended were genuinely enthused, found the event really interesting and a great deal of credit goes to Lanre and the supporting team behind the scenes for making this happen.“

Sotiris Kroustis, Senior Manager PwC

“The session was superb and delivered all that we wanted. The event was a phenomenal success with over 90% of attendees rating their experience as excellent. Overall we had about 100 attendees on the night and a lot of enquiries into when the next event would be. We were truly blessed and are grateful.”

Richard Kuti, Young Black Successful Forum

A key aspect of our 10 Actions for Change is to deliver anti-racism training across our firm, and given the importance of improving education and awareness for the culture of our firm, we went through a really thorough process to secure a provider for those sessions. Inner Ambitions were incredible from the start. They met our brief perfectly, and came with the energy and expertise to deliver sessions that we felt confident would have the impact we needed.

The Anti-Racism sessions have been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback; we frequently hear that it’s the most powerful and impactful session our people have attended to date. Lanre’s facilitation really is exceptional, without fail he delivers each session with unwavering energy and passion, his style is inclusive yet direct and challenging and he has generated a great level of discussion and understanding across the firm.

The sessions are hard hitting and impactful, whilst being able to invite conversation from people of a range of levels of awareness on the topic of race and inclusion, and have appealed to our most junior colleagues, right through to the firm’s senior leadership.

We’ve now been formally working together for eight months, and Lanre’s ongoing support and guidance has been exceptional. Lanre has supported us to engage with facilitators across regions, to enable us to deliver the training to other offices in Europe in the office’s local languages; which has been incredibly well received.

“Everyone really enjoyed the session and the poetry was a HUGE hit.”

Heather Reagan, Senior Marketing & Events Manager Common Purpose

“Lanre recently facilitated a development session at our REACH (Race, Ethnicity and Cultural Heritage) Event. The session was very interactive and engaging, with Lanre quickly capturing hearts and minds. Feedback from the event was very positive and complimentary with several participants rating it Lanre’s session ‘the most beneficial and useful’.

Lanre was a consummate professional whom I would highly recommend.“

Christine Tucker, Learning Programmes, Lloyds Banking Group

“We were thrilled to work with Inner Ambitions to deliver a wide-scale leadership learning programme. Inner Ambitions are very keen to fully understand the needs of the client and particular business issues, they recommended programme was very much tailored to our needs. Our leadership found them to be highly-engaging, knowledgeable and credible facilitators.”

Claire England, Director of Diversity & Inclusion, JLL.

Lanre was absolutely instrumental in helping us design and launch a DEI strategy that is not about targets and tick boxes but the overall progression of our industry. We started with some compelling and thought provoking training with the Board, followed by a month of collaboration and advice where Lanre provided key insights and feedback to help us create an outstanding plan of action.

Lanre is a joy to work with, always providing impactful feedback and has a great eye for opportunities to promote diversity, equity and inclusion. But it’s not just me who thinks that; Some of the feedback from the business includes comments that Lanre’s talks and training have been “thought-provoking”, “mindset changing” and “Inspirational”!
