Expert
Dr Bola Tafawa helps her clients get CLARITY about their identity, CONFIDENCE about their purpose and CONVICTION about their work so they can FIGHT FEAR, KNOW THEIR WORTH and joyfully thrive through life’s transitions.
Connect with her to discover your identity, confidently build your BOLDEST dream and joyfully amplify your impact as you live with purpose.
Dr Bola believes in the powerful force of purpose to unleash "mzima" (abundant) living.
Dr Bola is a Certified Executive and Transformation Coach, Reinvention Strategist and Motivational Speaker. A life-long learner committed to understanding and addressing the root cause of complex problems, she is a Harvard-PhD trained Social Epidemiologist, passionate about communications.
As a multi-faceted maverick, she has spent decades leading corporate, governmental, civic/non-government organizations and academic teams to strategically build their brands and businesses using creative and sustainable approaches. She has worked in various sectors (including health, communications, agriculture, real-estate, education, and finance) across multiple countries in 3 continents.
Even with her accomplishments, she felt stuck, unfulfilled and overwhelmed by her blessings. A few years back, in the midst of her seemingly dreamlife with a great job and a happy marriage with kids, the deep feeling of unfulfillment was unshakeable. Dr Bola had just built a $40Million portfolio that was helping African families live healthier lives. All while juggling multiple titles/roles- a female C-level corporate leader/elected advisory board member/Presidential advisor/ministry leader/wife and mom of young kids. This led to the agonizing mental hardship of losing herself.
However, with grit and grace, Dr Bola underwent a rigorous journey of self-discovery to find her identity and purpose. She found a passion for helping ambitious women discover their inborn power to thrive through transitions, find their purpose-filled path, and joyfully uncover and build bolder dreams.
Currently, Dr Bola runs MzimaLife, a personal development company that provides coaching, training, and speaking services for ambitious women and organizations that need a breakthrough in their strategic thinking processes so they can thrive.
“Mzima” means abundance in Swahili, spoken in Kenya where Dr Bola lives. MzimaLife combines data-driven strategies, powerful stories and insightful case-studies and very practical and tangible approaches to help clients flourish in abundance. With MzimaLife, Dr Bola helps clients shift their perspective, master courage to get “unstuck” and joyfully amplify their impact.
An avid runner, Dr Bola currently lives in East Africa with her husband and their four homeschooled kids (and their chicken and rabbits). A chocolate snub, she loves toffee, caramel and white chocolate.

What People Are Saying:
Murugi Mungai
Strategy Consultant & Business Advisor, Author, Speaker
"Dr. Bola is a powerhouse! I was at a crossroads and knew I wanted to draw closer to God but when and
how? Dr. Bola, a super smart intellectual giant, who has chosen to be submitted to God, gave me a
framework of what God wants with my life. And now accepting or rejecting work assignments became easy. I know God speaks (greatest lesson Dr. Bola taught me) and all I have to do is hear Him speak directly to me. Thursdays are now my dream dates with God. Mzimalife will transform your life and show you how to live abundantly as you run your race with grace! Best investment I made for myself as I turned 47!"
Patricia Wanjama
Lawyer - Corporate Affairs/ Governance Expert
"I shall forever be indebted to Dr. Bola. She listened with empathy and 'detangled' my hesitation to get
unstuck. She helped me move past my fear of transition to boldly dream with courage and confidence. Not only did Dr. Bola use her natural gift of wisdom and encouragement, she ensured that she remained aligned to our common faith, validating my next step and she also followed up on my progress holding me accountable. With my coaching take outs, I transitioned from a corporate C suite role from a large company that I co-founded, and I am now looking at other opportunities with joy."
Malaika Abwonji
Founder and Managing Director, Organica Africa and Love Revolution Kenya
"I had an existential crisis and I was losing my confidence. Dr. Bola helped me understand who I am and what I here for. With her help, I am now able to reflect that freedom to others. Her mode of delivery was captivating and inspiring. She is a great coach, empathetic, yet firm and encouraging along the way. She was a ball of energy and she asked the right questions to bring out those things that had been long buried within me. I admired her wealth of knowledge, wisdom and experience in this sphere. I had some awesome ‘aha’ moments. Dr. Bola, you have truly impacted my life. The insight, tools, information, knowledge and skills that I gained will stay with me for a lifetime and will impact generations to come."

"Done other courses but my time with Dr. Bola, exceeded my highest expectations! I definitely developed a more intimate relationship with God.
I learned to have conversations with Him daily. I learnt to listen to His voice and hear Him for myself.
I understood my life journey and now know my true identity and purpose. I got insight into dealing with the things that were keeping me from living out a life of purpose and I emerged out of the course with a very clear action plan."
