I have to confess, I was a bit doubtful as to the benefits of the coaching experience before I met Lamiya. In my mind, while I knew I was facing certain professional obstacles, I felt I knew how I should tackle them and so couldn’t really see what more a coach could do – surely I just had to get on and do these things?

As well as setting exercises for me to help put frameworks around my objectives, and then helping me convert these into action plans, Lamiya listened – a lot. It’s very liberating to be able to vent without fear of comeback to a professional coach, and particularly helpful for a lone operator who doesn’t have a team of people to share concerns, wins or frustrations with.

It’s quite rare to find someone who is actually listening to you and solely focusing on you. It’s an incredible support and, because Lamiya’s recall is so impressive (she will remember, months later, things you might have said in a previous meeting) she can also, in her very gentle, collaborative way, call you out on contradictions or proclamations you might have made, making you think harder about what you actually want and what you want to do about it.

Lamiya came strongly recommended by my HR Director at a time in my career when I felt least appreciated despite all the “hard work” I assumed to be putting into my job. It was a time I had a strong desire to quit as I saw myself loosing interest in what used to be my greatest joy outside family.

The need for a coach was not an option I considered as a game changer but I decided to speak with her out of necessity as my mind was already made up. My first meeting with Lamiya was mind blowing as it became the best decision that changed not only my plan to quit but resulted in a rekindled passion for what I loved best to do ( I’m glad I made that move). Lamiya helped me rediscover my strength and potential and worked me through bridging the gaps that seemingly made me inadequate at that time.

I strongly recommend Lamiya as a coach to anyone who finds herself at a crossroad or desires to make a difference in their career. She helped me make that turn that changed my career for good. Lamiya is a book with many valuable chapters – you never want to stop interacting with her. The world needs to know her.

I met Lamiya in a special period of my life. I was thinking to my future from personal and professional perspectives and really wanted to make important changes, but didn’t know what to do and how to do it.

At the beginning she put me in front of the reality: she built awareness of my development needs and inspired me to take actions. Thanks to Lamiya I quickly accelerated my growth. Within a few months of our coaching engagement I had the honor to be selected for a prestigious leadership program in my company as one of the youngest program members.

When I met Lamiya, I couldn’t focus on which path to choose as my main and primary profession. I assumed that focusing on a single path would allow me to deepen my knowledge and skills. The inner critical voice, built off the opinions of people around me, was eroding my confidence. I was wasting my energy deliberating instead of focusing it on new projects.

It turned out that the coaching engagement with Lamiya became an important step in my young family life. I can’t thank her enough for helping me to rebuild my confidence and to recognize my strengths and potential. I realized the importance of building a personal brand, even if your main profession and your job in a big corporation force you to adjust to that business machine. Through the course of our lives we can change jobs many times but finding yourself is only possible by building and enforcing your inner anchor. Lamiya’s coaching inspired the idea of my website, and has helped me to focus and anchor myself.

One of the best stories I like to tell about my personal and professional development so far is about my coaching journey with Lamiya.

We met at a pivotal moment in my career and she helped me to clarify my goals, where I stand and the path forward. I had no idea of how powerful a coaching session can be before I started. And meeting after meeting I discovered how impactful and instrumental it was to increase my self-awareness and self-confidence.

When I met Lamiya I was unhappy and had no focus. I also suffered from an inner critical voice which left a deep mark on my mood, confidence and personality.

I started to feel relieved and secure after each session, which she led me to clarity. It was an ultimate pleasure to work with Lamiya and I can not thank her enough for guiding me towards regaining my confidence and recognising my potential and strength.

Lamiya been an enormous help as a coach in the most complex moments of my career and helped me navigate safely out of those troubled waters, and finally become a more reasoning leader (less gut more head).

I appreciate all she has done as a coach! And her infinite patience!

For me everything started before joining the Leadership Program of my company.
There is no doubt that future pipeline needs constant coaching and I thought that it was the perfect time to find the right coach for me. I was looking for a person capable to influence not only behaviors but also developing my leadership, providing knowledge, opinions, and judgment in critical areas.

The personalized coaching sessions helped me to become more aware about emotions, use mindfulness to increase productivity, as well as prepare for tough situations when the business environment becomes more complex.
I will never thank her enough.

Working with Lamiya was brilliant. In just four sessions, she was able to identify professional challenges I had struggled with for years.

Hugely beneficial and would recommend to anyone seeking clarity and professional growth.
