Meet our Founder, Kay Layne
The moment I founded Kayambi Training, I embarked on a transformation journey. My motivation was simple yet powerful: seeing the light bulb go off on someone’s face when they have an “aha” moment and the subsequent triumphant rise into their authentic power. The yearning to witness this moment more frequently, to create an ecosystem where such epiphanies were not solitary miracles but regular occurrences, pushed me to the realm of entrepreneurship.
As a transformation and mindset coach, I’ve walked alongside many individuals in their journey to unlock their full potential. I’ve seen the battles they face, the thresholds they struggle to cross, and the unseen barriers that hold them back. This experience has given me a deep empathy and understanding of their struggles, and a profound sense of purpose to invoke transformation and empowerment on a larger scale.
Before Kayambi Training, I was a journalist, absorbed in the world of radio and television reporting, driven by an insatiable thirst for research. The more layers I peeled back of the societal onion, the more acutely aware I became of the systemic obstacles blocking BIPOC people’s success path. The realization didn’t make me succumb to despair; instead, it fueled my conviction – no matter the impediments, everyone could thrive with the right tools and support.
My entrepreneurial journey was born out of compassion and shared experiences. I’ve seen colleagues feeling discontented despite prestigious careers, friends wrestling with work-life balance, and I’ve had my own personal voyage of self-discovery. These shared experiences led me to realize the need for a more holistic approach to career counselling and coaching, and ultimately to the birth of Kayambi Training.
The guiding force behind my decision was the question, “How can I empower individuals to transcend limitations, unlock their full potential, and create extraordinary success in all areas of their lives?” The pursuit of these questions’ answers led to the development of my unique solutions—online courses, coaching programs, workshops, and resources. My focus was not just on practical strategies for achieving tangible success but also on fostering holistic personal development, mindset shifts, and emotional resilience.
In every decision I make, there’s a single guiding belief – in elevation. This core value is intricately woven into Kayambi Training’s operations, from our client interactions to the products and services we offer. Our mission is not just to help people survive; we’re here to ignite the spark that will guide them toward thriving. This belief in elevation is our compass, inspiring us to continually push boundaries and make a meaningful impact.
My story is a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and an unwavering belief in individuals’ innate potential. As an entrepreneur, I’ve learned that passion anchored in profound purpose can catalyze radical transformation. My journey underscores that every individual can transcend limitations and truly thrive with a nurturing environment and the right tools. These insights continue to shape my path, enriching Kayambi Training’s mission and enabling us to facilitate people into stepping into their authentic powers.
