Why do I coach?
"No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge." – Kahlil Gibran “Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you. Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion. Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.” - Rumi Coaching, for me, is a way of giving back to the journey I’ve been so fortunate to walk. In my years working across continents and industries, the most profound moments have come from watching others grow—seeing potential bloom into purpose. I’ve been mentored, guided, and uplifted by others along the way, and it’s now my privilege to pay that forward. There’s something deeply fulfilling about helping someone unlock the confidence they didn’t know they had or guiding them through the complexities of their career. It’s a quiet kind of magic—to witness transformation unfold, one conversation at a time. This is why I coach: to help others find clarity, resilience, and the path that’s truly theirs. My approach to coaching is grounded in the belief that you already carry the wisdom and potential you need to succeed. As my favorite poets Kahlil Gibran and Rumi beautifully express, you have an entire universe within you. My role is not to tell your story for you, but to guide you as you unfold your own myth —one that’s uniquely yours and waiting to take flight. My work with you is to help you recognize that strength, uncovering what lies within, and giving you the space and confidence to soar.
