182 | UK Enterprise Awards 2023 May23223 Best Business Coaching & Mentoring Organisation Based in South London, BigohCoaching is an executive business coaching and mentoring practice dedicated to helping small business owners overcome obstacles in order to achieve their professional and business goals. The company was founded by Director, Bayo Igoh, who delivers carefully structured programmes to help clients develop the state of mind for growth, map out new strategies for the future, their development, and ultimately reach for excellence. In his early life, Bayo Igoh always had a passion for education, learning, growth, and development. He was driven by a strong desire to succeed, but soon discovered the harsh reality: life is not always filled with success. However, he has since realised that what many people believe are ‘failures’ are actually valuable lessons, moments in time that we can look back on and draw experience from. Thanks to his adaptability and persistence, he overcame these challenges and went on to work in a multitude of positions and take on various responsibilities. Throughout his extensive career, Bayo spent many years working in leadership positions across the public, private, and voluntary sectors. During this time, he became fascinated by the methodology behind professional achievement, and the fact that certain people thrive where others do not. Based on this passion and his previous experiences, Bayo set out to obtain certification as a coach and founded BigohCoaching, a coaching and mentoring practice. Today, through BigohCoaching, Bayo helps clients succeed by helping them to discover solutions to the challenges that are preventing them from reaching their goals. In his coaching sessions, Bayo strives to support and inspire his clients to respond confidently and effectively to their changing environments. Starting and running a small business can be extremely isolating. As a business coach, Bayo enables small business owners to stay focused, motivated, and inspired. He helps them set clear, achievable goals, and works with them to develop actionable plans to reach them. The services Bayo offers are invaluable to his clients. He provides them with the tools, support, and guidance they need to succeed, focusing on a range of business topics, from marketing and sales to finances and management. He also equips them with fresh perspectives on how to overcome the various challenges that may arise in running their business: “Bayo has been a brilliant mentor/coach – constructively challenging (which is what I was looking for), creative, supportive and someone who’s judgement I trust. Working with Bayo enabled me to refocus at an especially important time for me in my career. He has a wide range of experience to draw on and great personal qualities. I was looking for someone to assist me in my personal development; working with Bayo went way beyond my expectations.” – Sue Coulson, CEO at Capital Letter . Since 2019, BigohCoaching has supported staff at black-led businesses and charitable organisations, enabling them to become leaders by enhancing their professional standing and development, broadening their perspectives, empowering them to be more confident in their approach to problemsolving.: “I have seen Bayo’s effectiveness as a coach first hand. He has a great ear and a way of drawing answers out of his clients.” – Ken Hittiarachi, Leadership Coach. Furthermore, BigohCoaching partners with small and local charities to help more people overcome complex social issues and rebuild their lives. Bayo arms his clients with the skills they need to develop their careers, and advises them on how best to support, mentor, and value their employees. Bayo has worked as a coach within the public, private, and charitable sectors, increasing representation of minorities within the leadership teams of small businesses, charitable and notfor-profit organisations to create more diverse and inclusive workplaces. Since its establishment, BigohCoaching has grown quickly and now provides an invaluable, locally committed business coaching service which positively impacts the professional lives of small business owners and entrepreneurs in and around the South East London Boroughs. Awareness of the value of Bayo’s services is spreading, with more and more clients referring acquaintances to him. This is hugely exciting and encouraging for Bayo as he looks forward to growing his company with the goal of helping more business owners and entrepreneurs achieve the success they deserve. “Bayo has a unique ability to recognise, understand, and explain complex organisational and business relationships in situations that demand impressive results.” - Vernon Simpson DMS, MSc, CIHCM, Managing Director at Nydes Management Company As a result of the invaluable services it provides, BigohCoaching has been awarded Best Business Coaching & Mentoring Organisation in the UK Enterprise Awards 2023. We congratulate Bayo on this accomplishment and look forward to seeing what the future holds for him and his business. Contact: Bayo Igoh Company: Bigohcoaching Web Address: bigohcoaching.com
