My name is Olivia Kawuma and I am a Learning & Development specialist with a deep passion for bridging gaps that quietly sabotage organisational growth. Over the past seven years, I’ve worked across Africa and Europe from consulting on leadership, communication, and culture in both public and private sectors, to launching a corporate training institute in the Netherlands.

The idea for Okuyigai emerged not from a single moment, but from years of listening to clients, colleagues, and cultures in transition. I saw a pattern: organisations often invest heavily in systems and strategy, but fail to see success when people aren’t aligned. Cultural dynamics are often the silent force behind that misalignment either empowering progress or undermining it.

Okuyigai is my response to these dynamics; it is a practical, insight-driven consultancy helping organisations uncover the gap between their stated values and lived experiences, and take meaningful action towards organisational goals.

If your organisation is navigating cultural complexity or seeking greater alignment between intention and experience, I’d love to talk. Okuyigai exists to walk that journey with you.
