About Eniola

Eniola Oru-Bakare is an award-winning HR professional, psychologist, organisational development consultant, executive recruiter and coach with over 20 years of experience working with people and organisations. Founder of Nicole Sinclair consulting and Inspired Hope.

Her work sits at the intersection of psychology, people, performance and personal development.

With an MSc in Developmental/Counselling Psychology, an Executive MBA in Human Resources and professional training as a Certified Psychometrician, Eniola brings together a rare combination of business experience and psychological insight. She is also a Doctoral Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Human Resources, Nigeria, and holds an honorary Doctorate.

For more than two decades, Eniola has worked with organisations to recruit and develop talent, strengthen leadership, improve performance and build healthier, more effective workplaces. Through

Nicole Sinclair Consulting, she has advised businesses across different sectors on executive recruitment, HR strategy, organisational development, performance management and people development.

But her work with people goes beyond the workplace.

Her background in counselling psychology has deepened her interest in the experiences that shape how people see themselves, relate to others and navigate life. She is particularly passionate about helping people who are dealing with the effects of trauma, difficult life experiences, low self-image and major personal transitions.

Today, Eniola offers trauma-informed and self-image coaching, supporting individuals as they work through limiting beliefs, rebuild their sense of self, develop greater self-awareness and move forward with confidence.

Her approach is practical, compassionate and grounded in psychology. She believes that people cannot always change what happened to them, but with the right support, they can change how they understand themselves, how they respond to their experiences and how they move forward.

Whether she is helping an organisation find the right leader, helping a professional navigate a career transition, or helping an individual rebuild their confidence and sense of identity, Eniola's work is ultimately about helping people become more aware, more confident and better equipped to live and perform well.

Her areas of work include:

Psychology & Personal Development
Trauma-informed coaching, self-image coaching, confidence, self-awareness and personal transitions.

People & Organisations
Organisational development, HR consulting, executive recruitment, talent management and performance improvement.

Coaching & Transition
Supporting individuals through career, relationship, identity and life transitions, with a focus on helping them move forward with clarity and purpose.

At the heart of Eniola's work is one simple belief: understanding people changes everything.
