Lucille Ossai Biography

Lucille Ossai is an international award-winning communications trainer, coach, advisor, keynote speaker, and multi-award-winning blogger. She holds an MSc from the London School of Economics and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Leicester (UK).

Her training company, Rethinking Business Communications Limited, offers coaching, training, and advisory services on nonverbal communication, public speaking, interpersonal communication, business writing, and leadership communication and influence. She works with professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders to amplify their influence, accelerate careers, and boost business results. Lucille applies her significant experience facilitating highly rated lectures and executive seminars at the prestigious, FT-ranked Lagos Business School. Her clients include World Commerce & Contracting, the Nigeria Stock Exchange, Nestlé Nigeria, the Society of Petroleum Engineers (Lagos Chapter), and Ischus Consulting.

Lucille Ossai’s bestselling book 'Influence and Thrive' is an evergreen business communication resource that educates, challenges, and empowers. It reveals research findings, provides relatable scenarios, and highlights interviews with leaders. It also unveils her original constructs, including the 'ABF Formula', the six-component 'Flexible Communication Strategy', and the 'Three Rules of Business Writing'. Her recommendations will heighten your communication skills to thrive in business and career.

Her expertise is globally recognised. In 2025, Global Gurus, the prestigious research organisation, ranked Lucille Ossai as the #7 communication professional in the world. She’s the only Black professional to feature in that category. In 2023, the International Association of Top Professionals (USA) named her the ‘Top Communications Trainer of the Year 2023’ for her contributions and commitment to the industry.

Her alma maters have lauded her work. In 2021, the University of Leicester featured Lucille Ossai’s book and highlighted her work in their alumni #CitizensOfChange initiative. In May 2020, the London School of Economics & Political Science named her ‘Alum of the Month‘ for her impact.

For over 13 years, she has provided deep insights and practical techniques on effective communication in her multi-award-winning Rethinking Business Communications Blog. Since 2017, it has also been the only African-based website to rank among the top 40 in Feedspot’s authoritative list of communication blogs.

Lucille Ossai’s thought leadership is also valued. She’s profiled on Thinkers360, and the Case Centre (UK) has featured her technical note on business writing. Furthermore, her articles have appeared on respectable platforms, including BizCatalyst 360, Enterprising Africa, and BusinessDay Nigeria. She also regularly shares her knowledge of business communication on international podcasts, interviews, and virtual events.

When this bestselling author isn’t obsessing about effective communication, she watches television to unwind. A huge fan of detective programmes, she fancies herself an expert in identifying the culprits. She also enjoys watching thrillers, (meaningful) action flicks, and dramas.

• the highest number ever recorded. And in 2020, that percentage remained the same. (Catalyst, Quick Take: Women in Management, August 11, 2020).

Nevertheless, women are still underrepresented higher up the career ladder. According to the Women in the Workplace 2019 report (Lean In, McKinsey & Company, October 2019, p. 9.), only 21% of all women were represented in the C-suite, with only 4% of whom were women of color.
