About Jeff Israel Nthiwa

MY STORY I’m Jeff Israel Nthiwa. I’m a husband to Cece, a father of three great kids ( Angel 14, Jason 7 and Jewel 4) then Strategic Intervention Life coach and an inspirational speaker, in that order.

I’m an imperfect human being with many flaws and internal blocks and challenges just like you. But I’m totally captivated with finding the most effective coaching tools and strategies that can give humanity the fastest most effective lasting results, I am obsessed with the science of living and how the human mind works at its peak performance, what hold’s us back from the life we desire and how I can best teach my knowledge to as many people as possible.

I am an expert in helping people get rid of their fears for good, clarify their values, meet their core human needs, break all the limiting beliefs and self-damaging patterns so they can live with passion and purpose.

The purpose of my life is to share my love with the world. Bring joy, peace, and happiness to others through my playful soul and by being an example of creating and living the grandest vision for my greatest version possible.

I give myself full permission to be imperfect. That means that I have the creative freedom to take chances and aim higher than I ever thought possible.

MY SAFARI

I grew up in a perfectly divided family of eight – four brothers and four sisters. My family was very loving as well as intellectually and spiritually curious. Even as a child, I remember being more concerned with books and people than with the toys and games that most children were occupied with.

At the age of nine, I discovered the world of personal development. I started reading every spiritual book I got my hands on in the search for life’s answers. I read the entire Bible by the age of 10 and had even memorized the entire book of Proverbs. As I was born with a genetic disease that kept me in the hospital and out of school throughout most of my primary education years, reading was my solace. It was my doorway to another world and I took in every single word of knowledge that I could find.

As a teenager, I was given the nickname “Mr. Solutions,” by my friends and classmates because I could always see through their teenage filters and offer them real solutions that they might not have gotten to on their own. I performed well in school, as I wanted to be a doctor, and upon graduation, I found that I had not quite achieved the grade they needed to get into medical school. My second choice was a theological school so I ended up with a degree in theology. I became an ordained minister by the time I was 23 years old and I worked as a Reverend at a church for a very rewarding seven years.

Helping people and giving advice in the church was extremely rewarding and life-affirming, but I felt as if I could help more people if I got out there into the world instead of waiting for them to come to me. For some reason, helping people achieve the changes and improvements that they have been struggling with their entire lives was very exciting to me. I took all of my savings and invested in into becoming certified as a life coach, including hiring my own life coach so I can get some experience from the other side of the table.

I became one of the first life coaches in Kenya, and one with the solutions to help my clients achieve real results. But I wanted to take what I felt was my mission in life even further. I wanted to teach other people how to help their fellow human beings the same way that I had been able to. That’s why I started the Destiny School of Coaching more than 10 years ago.

I realize that there were not many places in Africa where those with the talent, drive, and hunger to help others could receive real training so that they could offer actual solutions to their clients and help them achieve their goals. Destiny life coaching is all about results. We have now trained over 300 certified life coaches, many of whom are recognized internationally.

My primary work is training and mentoring coaches, but I also have a small number of personal clients that see me for private sessions. I do either a set of six sessions or a set of 12 sessions. I’m very pleased with the decision I made to move from the ministry to coaching because coaching has now become my life and is the framework upon which my story is built. Coaching is in my DNA.

I have three very simple – but extraordinarily important – rules that I follow; Live my truth, Live with passion and Love my family. Those three rules as the basis of my life and livelihood have given me one of the most fulfilling lives that a person could possibly ask for. I enjoy life because I am self-aware. This self-awareness is exactly what my coaching is all about. You shouldn’t do the things you do to be liked by anyone. You should do them because they are your truth. I can love and serve people without needing other people to complete me as a person. These are the kind of principles that make my coaching.

I began the transformational work in the church. Worked as a full-time Pastor with Christ is the answer ministries for a period of 7 years.

Then transitioned to fulltime life coaching, coach training, and mentoring of coaches and company executives for the last 10 years of coaching.
