Meet Babalola David Olumide — Coach, Author, Speaker, Change Agent

Babalola David Olumide, fondly known as MotivatedDave, is a transformational coach, award-winning author, playwright, speaker, licensed HR professional, and IT Service Management expert — known for turning personal pain into purpose and igniting others to do the same.

Through storytelling, leadership, and strategic impact across faith, business, and social transformation, he helps individuals and institutions rise from limitation into legacy.

From Humble Beginnings to Global Purpose

Today, Babalola David Olumide uses that same fire to inspire others to step into clarity, calling, and confidence — no matter where they begin.
