I am an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and leadership development specialist with over 20 years of experience supporting executives, managers, and aspiring leaders across sectors including law, banking, higher education, and recruitment. My career spans business consulting, organisational change, leadership coaching, and programme design, with a consistent focus on unlocking mindset shifts, building skills, and helping individuals thrive in complex environments. I began my career at Baker Tilly, later RSM, where I spent 14 years as a Business Solutions Consultant. In that role, I partnered with senior leaders to design and implement firm-wide and department-specific solutions, focusing on technology, skill development, and change management. I became adept at delivering workshops that combined systems training with behavioural and interpersonal development, often in challenging contexts such as restructures, redundancies, and strategic change. In 2016, I joined Sport and Beyond as Company Director, where I designed and delivered leadership programmes for both athletes and business leaders. It was during this time that I built a lasting client relationship with a legal recruitment company, a partnership that continued when I launched my own business, Kinetic People Development, in 2019. I continue to provide bi-monthly coaching for this client, delivering one-to-one and group sessions, assessments, and managing a wider team of coaches. Since founding Kinetic People Development, I have worked with clients ranging from international banks and law firms to universities and recruitment companies. My coaching consistently delivers measurable outcomes: 84% of my clients achieve a promotion or implement a significant strategic change within 12 months. I combine one-to-one coaching, group facilitation, and psychometric assessments to support leaders at every stage, focusing particularly on mindset and behaviour change. My programme design and facilitation experience is extensive. Notable examples include the Sentinel Programme at Leeds University, where I worked with international scientists and PhD students across Europe to build leadership capacity through online group sessions, one-to-one coaching, and assessments. I also designed an Aspiring Leaders Programme, a six-topic blended pathway for new managers delivered both in-person and virtually. Another highlight has been my partnership with a major UK law firm, which grew from an initial three training sessions into a two-year programme of 76 online workshops delivered to staff at all levels. My qualifications reinforce my practice. I became a Thomas International Certified Practitioner in 2014, accredited to deliver DISC personality assessments, emotional intelligence assessments, general intelligence assessments, and 360 feedback. I qualified as an ICF coach in 2022 and completed my PCC accreditation in 2025. These certifications, together with my practical experience, ensure that my coaching is both rigorous and tailored. Beyond delivery, I lead business development and marketing at Kinetic People Development, including publishing regular blogs on leadership and management at kineticpd.co.uk/blog. This enables me to share insights more widely and position coaching as a tool for long-term professional and organisational growth. Across my career, I have helped leaders and organisations navigate challenges such as mergers, redundancies, strategic change, and the Covid-19 pandemic. My role has consistently been to create safe but challenging environments where individuals can confront limiting beliefs, build resilience, and achieve sustainable growth. I bring a unique blend of business acumen, emotional intelligence, and facilitation expertise to every engagement, enabling both measurable business results and personal transformation. As I look ahead, I am motivated to continue broadening my impact through affiliate coaching opportunities. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute my experience and energy to help individuals and organisations realise their potential.

I am an ICF-certified Professional Life and Leadership Coach with over a decade of experience across financial services, retail, food distribution, real estate, and IT. Having built and operated businesses across diverse industries and cultures, I understand firsthand the complexity of leadership, decision-making, and growth in high-pressure environments. My coaching sits at the intersection of internal transformation and external performance. With a strong foundation in neuroscience and human behavior, I help leaders and high performers develop the self-awareness required to elevate how they think, decide, and lead. When leaders gain clarity about their values, patterns, and drivers, they make sharper decisions, navigate high-stakes situations with greater composure, and align their teams with confidence and intention. For managers, this translates into stronger executive presence, clearer communication, and the ability to lead with both empathy and assertiveness. For entrepreneurs and senior leaders, it means moving from reactive decision-making to strategic clarity, especially in moments that require courage, resilience, and vision. For high performers, coaching becomes the space to recalibrate; preventing burnout, strengthening boundaries, and creating sustainable success without compromising wellbeing. Having lived and worked across cultures, I have seen that many capable professionals drift into careers and leadership styles that are misaligned with their values, which often translates to internal conflict, poor decisions, strained relationships, and exhaustion. My mission is to help individuals reconnect with who they truly are so that what they do aligns with how they lead. I believe every perceived weakness holds an underlying strength, and by leveraging these strengths, we unlock both performance and fulfillment. True harmony happens when competence meets self-awareness, and ambition is supported by inner stability. Through structured yet practical coaching conversations, I help my clients move: • From uncertainty to decisive leadership • From overwhelm to strategic clarity • From burnout to sustainable performance • From misalignment to authentic influence When internal clarity meets external action, performance is intentional and success becomes sustainable.

I am an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), leadership educator, and business strategist with over 25 years of professional experience across the Middle East, North America, and Latin America. My work sits at the intersection of leadership, emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and adult development. Before becoming a full-time coach and educator, I spent more than two decades in senior executive and board-level roles within multinational consulting, infrastructure, and services organizations. I have served as Country Manager, General Manager, Regional Business Development Director, and Board Member, leading organizations through market entry, growth, restructuring, and transformation across the GCC and broader international markets. My corporate background includes leadership roles with global firms such as Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, SICE (ACS Group – Spain), DBI Services, and Polypipe Middle East. In these roles, I built businesses from the ground up, led cross-cultural teams, managed complex stakeholder environments, and delivered multimillion-dollar results in highly demanding contexts. These experiences deeply inform my coaching practice today—I coach from lived experience, not theory alone. Since 2018, I have been professionally coaching senior leaders, executives, founders, and high-potential professionals across industries and geographies. My coaching approach is reflective, structured, and human-centered, helping clients slow down their thinking, gain clarity, and make more intentional choices—both professionally and personally. I work with leaders navigating growth, transition, complexity, identity shifts, and increased responsibility. Alongside my academy work, I collaborate with global coaching and wellbeing platforms such as BetterUp, Bravely, Modern Health, Speexx, and PwC, coaching leaders across technology, finance, healthcare, media, logistics, and public-sector environments. This exposure allows me to stay closely connected to the real challenges leaders face inside modern organizations. My coaching is grounded in ICF core competencies and ethics, and informed by Positive Psychology, Emotional Intelligence, adult learning theory, and systems thinking. I place strong emphasis on self-awareness, responsibility, values alignment, and sustainable performance. I believe coaching is not about quick fixes or motivational talk—it is a disciplined, ethical practice that supports leaders in becoming more conscious, effective, and human in the way they lead. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Marketing and Psychology from the Lebanese American University, and I am certified as a Holistic Life, Career, and Executive Coach from the Goal Imagery Institute (New York). I am also a Certified Trainer and Speaker with the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team, integrating leadership education and coaching where appropriate.

Based in Beirut, Lebanon, with active professional operations in the United States and Colombia, I regularly support clients across time zones and cultures. I am particularly experienced in working with leaders operating in complex, multicultural, and high-pressure environments. At the core of my work is a simple belief: leadership is not a role—it is a responsibility. Coaching, when done well, creates space for leaders to think better, choose better, and lead with integrity.

With a deep commitment to continuous improvement, I focus on my clients' goals, awareness and personal development. I believe that by supporting people with personalised coaching solutions I can have a multiplied impact on the individual, and on their environment as well. I like to bring out the contradictions and limiting beliefs, making the invisible visible. I'm not afraid of silence, when clients reflect on their own functioning, because silence is often a space for the deepest insights. I love the aha moments, the co-creation, as my client and I connect with each other's thinking and new realisations and solutions emerge from that. My goal is to accomplish long-term, positive change and sustainable development. By the end of the coaching process, my clients are able to tackle their tasks more easily, more effectively and more successfully and by means of simplification they will be able to live their life with ease and with less stress. Creating a safe space for my clients to pause and reflect, self-reflect. Slowing down thoughts like snowflakes on a quiet winter day to observe them, and to discover what emerges. Work in partnership, inspire each other, and co-create new paths, roads, and avenues to move forward. This is my world as a coach.
