My name is Tawanda Chirenda. I created the Becoming a Willing Student career development program to empower visionary, smart and passionate young leaders like you with the authentic engagement mindset you need to become who you want to be. If you want more from your career and life, I get you because I was you. I know what’s at stake. I understand that becoming who you want to be as a young leader isn’t easy because I have been through it myself.
Unlock the Next-Level Career Growth
Before I enrolled in my first coaching program, I had to ask myself some very tough questions. I was dealing with a lot of challenges in my career and life, and I wanted help breaking past these barriers. I wanted to take my career and life to the next level, but I was stuck.
I wanted to stretch myself, but I didn’t know how. I wanted more authenticity, impact and influence in my career and in my life. I wanted to grow my leadership brand presence. I wanted to influence others in powerful ways, but I wasn’t sure how to go about it.
I needed a coach to help me and I didn’t know it then. When I started working with my first coach, my life changed for the better. Working with my first coach taught me the power of leading myself first before I could influence anyone else. It taught me how to sell a new idea or product to myself first before I could sell to anyone else. It taught me how to build a smart, fun and caring team around me by building myself first.
It was a thought-provoking and creative process that gave me perspective. I had to become a Willing Student first before I could get the outcomes I wanted.
That’s what we do at Becoming a Willing Student. Our career development approach is designed to give you a perspective that will change your life for the better. And then we get to watch you create the career and life you’ve always dreamed about.

I am you.
I know what it means to spend sleepless nights starring at the ceiling worrying about your career and your life. I know what it means to have a racing mind thinking about your next move. I know what it means to have your heart pounding all the time. I know what it means to ask these questions.
What if this doesn’t work out?
What if I lose everything?
May be like me, you lost everything. That’s a story for another day. Be still. If you build right, you will get it all back. I promise. I can show you how to get back up after a hard fall.
I believe in self-reliance. I believe in time alone. However, I don’t want you to be silent. I don’t want you to be stuck. I know you are the rock of your team. I know you are tough. It’s okay to ask for help.
You have more power than you think. You can choose to think differently about your career and your life. You can choose clarity. You can choose calmness. You can choose you. You can choose to be okay right now. As Theodore Roosevelt said “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”
Our career development coaching programs have been designed with you in mind. Each program builds on and compliments previous programs, all adding up to a new way of thinking about your career and your life. Your career and your life will change, for the better.

In our coaching programs, we’ll talk about everything that you might be worried about as a young leader - your goals, team, income, personal brand, job interviews, qualifications, and experience.
It’s about elevating your impact and influence in the global workplace and marketplace.
It’s about driving long-term strategic value to your team and your career.
It’s about needs.
It’s about your craft.
It’s about being compelling and flourishing.
