About The Talk with MacAnne Consult
The Talk with MacAnne Consult is a Human Capacity, Media, and Personal Development firm headquartered in Nigeria. We exist at the intersection of education, communication, and transformation — equipping individuals, professionals, and organizations with the knowledge, skills, strategies, and platforms they need to live and lead with purpose, communicate with power, and achieve meaningful impact, influence, and income.
Founded by MacAnne Obize — Master of Ceremonies, Transformational Speaker, Author, and Media Strategist — the organization grew from a personal passion for unlocking potential through media, training, and coaching. What began as a structured personal brand has evolved into a multi-service professional consulting firm, now building toward a fully independent organization with a growing team, diverse product offerings, and a clear mandate to serve purpose-hungry individuals and forward-thinking institutions.
We serve a broad audience of adults — from young professionals finding their footing to mid-career leaders seeking clarity, from entrepreneurs building their brands to organizations seeking to develop their people. Our work spans personal development coaching, communication training, corporate events, media consulting, and strategic brand visibility — all anchored in our foundational belief that every person, regardless of their background or stage of life, deserves to live a life of impact, influence, and income.

Corporate Social Responsibility — Teens Connect Africa
Teens Connect Africa is the social enterprise and CSR arm of The Talk with MacAnne Consult — a distinct platform with its own identity, mission, and target audience. Where TTWMC serves adults and professionals, Teens Connect Africa exists specifically to serve teenagers and young people (ages 13–24), connecting them to mentorship, resources, and opportunities before they enter the professional world.
"Teens Connect Africa is not who TTWMC serves — it is how TTWMC gives back. It is our expression of responsibility to the next generation, funded by and operating within the broader organizational ecosystem."
The Mandate
To develop the potential of teenagers and young people across Africa — equipping them with the mindset, skills, and connections they need to become productive, purposeful members of their communities and society.

What Makes Us Different
We combine the credibility of a certified Master of Ceremonies with the depth of a transformational coaching practice — a rare pairing that makes us uniquely positioned to serve both event and development markets.
Our founder brings lived experience of purpose discovery, career clarity, and platform building — not just theory. She has walked the journey she teaches.
We serve the whole person across multiple touchpoints — from a podcast episode to a coaching programme to an event hosting engagement — creating a comprehensive ecosystem of support rather than a single transaction.
Our licensed partnership with Fordax Academy for public speaking training gives us institutional credibility and curriculum quality in a market where communication skills are in high demand.
Our CSR arm, Teens Connect Africa, adds a social impact dimension that resonates with grant-makers, institutional partners, and values-aligned clients.
