Olu Burrell

Olutosin “Olu” Burrell is President & C.E.O. of Spoken IV Solutions LLC d/b/a Olu Burrell Consulting.  Prior to branching out on his own, Olu worked for the D.C. Government where he honed his expertise in the following fields: youth education, youth employment, and adult employment, education/training and coaching. He fully embraces his identity as a multipotentialite, wearing multiple hats as an Executive/Leadership Coach, People Strategy Consultant, Copywriter, Knowledge Philanthropist, and A.B.I.D.E. (Access, Belonging, Inclusion, Diversity and Equity) Consultant.

Mark Twain once said, “The two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you figure out why.” The day Olu was born was May 19^th; the day he figured out why was February 14, 2011. For it was on that day that he realized for the first time in his life that his whole first name—Olutosin—was an anagram for the word “solution.” Since that day more than eleven years ago, Olu has committed to not only being a lifelong learner, but a lifelong practitioner of his craft. 

A natural communicator, Olu counts storytelling as part of his strengths and, where appropriate, includes them in his engagements as he encourages his clients to craft their own legend. A student of inquiry, he treats the interrogative as the imperative in establishing connection, and most importantly, breakthrough.
