What you'll do

Reinvention is essential for personal growth and evolution, but it's not always easy to achieve—especially now. To help you navigate this process, I'll share the transformational blueprint from my 100-day journey to becoming both the first African woman and the first black woman to compete in the Olympic skeleton—a sport I had no prior experience in and one in which athletes hurl themselves headfirst on a sled down an icy hill at 80 miles an hour.

In this interactive experience designed to invite courage and resilience, I'll teach you the valuable lessons I learned in those 100 days—a time when I had returned to competitive sport after a nearly ten-year retirement. Find a comfy spot in your house and I'll walk you through how I reignited my original dream of competing in track and field at the Summer Olympics. Then, we'll explore different ways of overcoming fears, defying naysayers, and shattering perceptions.

Imagine your limitless possibilities with an Olympian as I confidently guide you through this experience and help you push your limits and find your inner strength.

*This experience is great for team-building. Book a private experience for your group. Is your group larger than my listed max group size for private groups? Send me a message.

In 2018, I made Olympic history at the Winter Games, becoming the first African and Black woman to compete in Olympic skeleton. When I discovered that no African woman had ever competed in the Olympic skeleton, I saw an opportunity to take action.

I'm currently training for the 2022 Olympic Games and I also inspire audiences around the world. I've appeared in leading media outlets such as CNN, NBC, ESPN, USA Today, Essence, Forbes, and Sports Illustrated and the New York Times has hailed me as “a role model for Africa and beyond.”

Audiences have described my live experiences as being “captivating” and “highly actionable” with a "contagious energy and passion.” And now, I'm bringing my inspirational tips directly to your home with this Online Experience!

Simidele did a session for our organisation as an experience linked to performance and reinvention. Her insight and specific examples from her own career as an Olympian were very inspirational and she is a great storyteller. The authenticity and her tips on doing the first step and what to focus on were amazing. It was great having this opportunity to chat to an elite athlete and her training first in a country with no facilities and then during the situation of a pandemic. All the best with the upcoming training and thank you again for the opportunity!

I booked a private session with Simi for my team, and it was great! She is such an incredible storyteller, and we were all so inspired by her perseverance, tenacity, and drive. She shared with us her 100-day journey to compete in the Olympic Skeleton, and my whole team walked away ready to set our 100-day plans to accomplish goals in our lives.

I booked a session for a couple UX/Design teams at my company. It was an awe-inspiring session! What an incredible and bold journey Simi embarked on. Her story of courage in the face of disappointment and then taking risks to compete in a completely new Olympic sport was profound. We left energized with a renewed perspective on how to face challenges at work and in our personal lives!

What a powerful and highly motivating session! Simidele brings her personal experiences to life and shared a very practical and inspiring framework for my team. We had a great custom event for our company across Asia Pacific joined by many co-workers from the USA West Coast as well. We listen, chatted, asked questions and left feeling inspired and full of thoughts for actions to reinvent ourselves. Thank you Simidele for an amazingly fulfilling and inspiring session.

This air bnb experience is HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended! In fact - it’s more than an experience... it’s a journey to your finding your center. Simi’s insights, sharing of her journey as an Olympian and connecting on the “why” brought great authenticity to our conversation. Inspiring and I am really happy I took the leap of faith. If you are here on Simi’s page ...don’t hesitate book a session, you will definitely be heading in the right direction!
