  • “Salma is a wonderful coach. She instantly inspired me to push and better myself by making clear conclusions about rectifying and developing several aspects of my life.

    Basel Hosnya, Operations Manager, Dubai, UAE
  • “When I first made the decision to change certain attributes of my lifestyle, I was still a bit skeptic of how a coach could help out… wasn’t just a coach-client relationship; it was a conversation between two friends.
She stood by me through my deepest and darkest moments while letting me know that I would conquer those issues without difficulty. She always made me laugh and always kept me positive by the end of each session…
She raised questions that I never asked myself, pushed my limits by constantly challenging me, and sprung motivations that I never thought existed in me. Through her methods I was able to find a whole new side of me that I had completely ignored, a side of that I’m in love with… I owe my happiness to her and to myself, and I will be forever grateful for what she has done.”

    Hazem Ghorab, Executive Producer, Dubai, UAE
  • “My experience with you has heightened my sense of awareness, allowed me to think for myself and communicate more clearly, taught me the importance of valuing oneself and opened my eyes to paths to be explored inside me with much excitement and happiness. Most importantly, though, I’ve allowed myself the opportunity to be me, as truly and honestly as I can be. With that, the little voice inside me now aligns directly with my heart and my mind, creating balance. Thank you for being you, Salma.”

Salma’s coaching approach is excellent and powerful. It gave me the will and techniques to focus and work on the progress of my career! …Those tangible techniques are easy to apply and proved to have immediate effect—I can only recommend try it. I believe that every successful person needs a coach on his/her side to continuously pursue their goals and dreams.”

    Amir Melad, Project Manager, Dubai, UAE
  • “After five years of working in the same company, I needed a career change due to poor work/life balance and a lack of new challenges. I was not sure, however, which path to take and something seemed to always be holding me back. Salma’s coaching sessions allowed me think about the situation in a more practical and pragmatic way. Her structured and creative approach helped me identify what is important to me in terms of a career… Salma also spent adequate time after the coaching sessions to follow up on my activities. As a result, I am happy to say that, a few months, I accepted a job offer for an exciting new position that fulfills both my personal and professional goals.”

  • “Salma’s coaching served to keep me ‘on task’. She used the Agility (Agil’oa) assessment as a starting point during our coaching journey.

She reminded me to build on my strengths and foster empathy in my interactions with others.”

  • “The Agility methodology enabled me to identify my strengths in my assessment profile and it also identified a way of improving fundamentals areas. The coaching sessions with Salma enabled me to choose the pillar I want to further improve and the one I wish to reinforce depending on my current and crucial needs.

Working on a more precise aspect of the agility pillars as cooperation, enables to speed up the improvement on that particular point and shows tangible benefits and results both for myself, the team and thus the organization.”

    Hiba Kandalaft CPCC, Personal Coach, Thrive, Dubai, UAE
  • “I was in about to start a new role which was more cross regional and needed to understand how I could become more agile in my ways of working and also my thinking. Salma’s coaching style was very unique; she makes the person think on their own and come up with the solutions so they feel so much more involved and gain a sense of achievement. I learnt from her to think of different ways when confronted with a situation or even on every day topics to think out of the box, to be creative, to consult and thus become more agile. This is now something I’m practicing in my day to day work”.

    Sujata Bhowmik, Regional Marketing Director - Great Asia, IFF, Mumbai, India
  • “Salma was both my mentor and coach. She was a constant support and champion throughout my Coaching Certification. As a mentor, she was able to help me with the obstacles I faced with my own clients, and help me stay motivated. As a coach, Salma was able to help me increase my self-awareness and get a deeper understanding of what’s truly important to me. I feel more in touch with my values, and why each one is a main cornerstone to who I am. I now have a vision of the kind of impact I want to create in my life and in those around me, and I am able to set goals with that in mind.

    Working with Salma always felt safe. During the coaching I could ‘be with’ whatever was going on at that point in time, and however I felt was always welcome and accepted with zero judgment. It was also challenging because she was constantly holding up the mirror and helping me see who I am – and no matter how much you think you know yourself, there is always something unexpected about that!

    Whether you are looking for personal or professional development, I would definitely recommend working with Salma. She will be supportive and compassionate, yet brutally honest when required – all in service of YOU”.

The benefits of attending this workshop was that the team got to know each other better and moved forward together and in one direction. As a team, we learned to give and receive feedback. We are now meeting as a team and openly discuss action plans that are helpful for the entire Organization.

    The Coaches were straight to the point, tackled the issues as such, and were extremely generous in changing the agenda and tailoring part of the program on the spot to allow real conversations between teams. They were very good at triggering us to open up and most importantly in ensuring a safe environment to express ourselves and this resulted into incredible understanding.  I can conclude out of this workshop that people are better now in appreciating others responsibilities and are more open to feedback.

    This workshop has been considerably cusotmized to our needs. It was great to have ‘Women’ as facilitators, as they bring a completely different flavor and changed the entire energy of what we know about workshops! Thank you for this great workshop.”
