Meet Adobea
Hi there!
I’m Adobea, a dedicated career coach and speaker. My goal: to help accomplished newcomers looking to change careers find fulfilling careers in Canada.
I immigrated to Canada in 2015 and understand firsthand the challenges of changing careers in a new country. In changing careers in a new country, you juggle a lot: skill-building, personal branding, networking, navigating the Canadian work culture, and more. This can lead to burnout, confusion and feeling lost in a maze with no clear path forward.
That's where I step in.
My tailored career packages, workshops, and speaking sessions get you to where you want to be. We craft a plan that fits into your schedule, caters to your needs, and moves at a pace that feels right for you.
Imagine having a job search partner, so you don't have to manage every detail alone.
I simplify your job search and make your career journey smoother and more rewarding.
What sets me apart is my approach.
I believe in the power of personal stories and actionable advice. I bring humour and relatability to every interaction because career change can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be boring.
Work with me to create a compelling story that will resonate with your dream employers and advance your career.
My Story
-
Recruiter Trailblazer in DC to Startup Leader in Ghana
I started as a Recruiter at a non-profit in D.C., learning the ins and outs of talent acquisition. Then came the adventure of investment banking for two years in Ghana. Where I mastered the art of pitching and making connections. This set the stage for my next adventure – leading a gas startup in Ghana. Think engineers, welders, and a whole lot of hustle.

Tech Career Transition in Canada
The adventurer in me yearned for more. I moved to Canada and went to UBC for an MBA, laying the groundwork for the tech-infused chapters that awaited. With 15 years of experience, I've left my mark across diverse industries- leading transformational tech, finance, and manufacturing projects.

Career Coach and Engaging Speaker
In 2019, I returned to my roots and became a career development whisperer and engaging speaker. I started coaching newcomers and speaking at events with Mosaic BC and UBC to guide the next wave of newcomer professionals. Currently, I'm a Career Coach and Speaker nurturing future talents. Why? Because I'm all about individual stories, diverse workspaces, and connections that light up a room.
Canadian Companies can help immigrants thrive
Companies have a role in creating an inclusive environment for immigrants to succeed in the Canadian workplace. Canadian companies now embrace the unique perspectives and skills of immigrants, rather than view them as a disadvantage.
I partner with organizations that serve newcomers and organizations open to bringing in immigrant talent to thrive in their environment.
This career journey works best with a strong advocate, and I am excited to be that for you.
Whether you’re looking for a speaker or a coach or simply seeking guidance on your career pivot, I’m here to help you shine in your professional journey.
Reach out, and let’s empower newcomers to thrive.
