I am a psychology graduate living in Kuwait and currently looking for a job.
I am an enthusiastic empowerer of people, teams and organisations.
I am currently completing my MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology at the University of East London. Combined with my MA in management and years of corporate experience, I am coaching my clients to unlock their potential and grow.
My measure for success is the smile on people’s faces and enthusiasm for their next steps. The best part of my work is seeing people, teams and organisations discover opportunities they didn’t think existed, find motivation to change, grow in the process and thrive on the success they created for themselves.
I don’t have the power to make these changes, but my clients do.
My role is to accompany them in this process, to facilitate dialogue and discovery and be the cheerleader to keep them going when obstacles arise.
