Thrive Global

Having seen my career coaching articles on LinkedIn, Arianna Huffington personally invited me to contribute articles to her platform, Thrive Global. 

Thrive's mission is to end the stress and burnout epidemic by offering companies and individuals sustainable, science-based solutions to enhance well-being, performance, and purpose, and create a healthier relationship with technology. Recent science has shown that the pervasive belief that burnout is the price we must pay for success is a delusion. We know, instead, that when we prioritize our well-being, our decision-making, creativity, and productivity improve dramatically. Thrive Global is committed to accelerating the culture shift that allows people to reclaim their lives and move from merely surviving to thriving.

Certified Executive Coach SCC I Career Coach & Executive Life Coach | LinkedIn Top Voice I 🏆 Best Career Coach ‘21 I Helping leaders and professionals achieve fulfilment and success with confidence, clarity and purpose

As an Executive Coach and Career Coach in Dubai, my goal is to help people excel in their careers.

Since 2014, I’ve helped 1000+ people advance their careers in Dubai and globally with clarity and power through my effective career coaching and leadership coaching programmes.

If you’re feeling:

→ unfulfilled or unclear; not sure what you want or how to achieve it 
→ demotivated or frustrated by stagnation 
→ stagnant; unable to progress or earn more 💰
→ stressed out and insecure; doubting yourself and your worth
→ alone or unable to build relationships required for success; maybe questioning if you belong. 

I’m here to help.

For 18 years, I’ve worked with and for multinational companies - as a recruiter, a manager, an executive coach and career coach in Dubai. Through this work, I learned why some people succeed while others struggle in the corporate world.

I’ve personally faced and overcome company restructures, job loss and working in a toxic culture. I learned how to navigate the job market and successfully change careers. 

In the last decade, I’ve built a solid personal brand, became a LinkedIn Top Voice and an award-winning career coach – leading successful executive coaching and career coaching programmes for some of the biggest companies in the world.

Through these experiences and my degree in Psychology, I’ve come to understand the secrets to career fulfilment and success. Now through my Career Transformation Accelerator and coaching programmes, I am on a mission to share them so you can experience greater success too.

Focusing on transformation and empowerment, working with me you will:

→ Gain clarity and a sense of direction
→ Experience renewed motivation and purpose 
→ Build a clear strategy towards your goals
→ Create a powerful Unique Value Proposition and personal brand
→ Learn how to get in front of decision-makers and target audiences, and sell your value
→ Master communication, emotional management, networking and leadership 
→ Develop a success mindset; confidence, resilience and self-worth
→ Get to the next level in your career and more!

I’ve learned there’s a difference between loneliness and feeling alone.

I felt completely alone when contemplating my future in Dubai.

I had friends, so I wasn't lonely.

It was the fact that this decision was on me (stay or walk away from my business and livelihood to start again from scratch), and I didn't know what decision to make, that made me feel alone.

People offered their advice; what they would do if they were in my shoes.

Over time, I noticed a reaction.

When someone said, "If it were me, I would stay," my heart sank.
 
When they said they'd go home, I felt a tiny spark of hope.

Fear would then, of course, kick in as all the "What ifs?" quickly followed.

But that spark told me something important: deep down, we know what's right for us. Everything we've been taught to fear is what stops us from hearing it.

So I came home. I felt deeply alone again, with over 30 business and life decisions suddenly on my plate, that only I could make.

But now I know feeling alone isn't necessarily loneliness; the need for human connection.

It's a signal to believe in ourselves. Not just in what we can achieve, but in what we can face and overcome.

A sign to let go of control, those high expectations and need for perfection; from ourselves and others. 

Feeling alone isn't a sign that something is wrong. 

It's a sign that a part of you is calling for you to grow.

If you’re feeling alone, where are you doubting yourself?

How and where is 'life' asking you to grow? 

Thoughts?

Turning Dubai properties into Dream Deals - on and off screen.

Last year, everybody watched me struggle on TV. This year, they watched me win.

One year ago, I stepped into the spotlight as the newcomer on a German real estate reality show - overwhelmed, doubted, and under huge pressure in Dubai's fast-paced market. I couldn't close a single deal, and honestly... I was ready to quit.

But I made myself one promise:
I won't leave this industry until I close at least one deal.
Being on a reality show taught me something powerful:
You can always write your own story - even when it feels like the world has already written it for you.

And today, that story looks very different.
Fast forward to today - I had the honor of representing fäm Properties Dubai at the Black Onyx Award by Meraas and  
Nakheel.
 
Not only did we attend...
We won first place.
From being the rookie struggling to close my first deal, to becoming one of the top-closing agents in one of Dubai's most successful agencies - this year changed my life.

Dreams don't work unless you do.
And this past year, I worked harder than I ever have.

Everyone in this industry knows how tough it is... but also how rewarding it can be when you stay committed.
In our reality show, you could see the moment Firas gave me one last chance to turn everything around.

In the picture, you'll see that I took it.

A special thanks to Firas Al Msaddi and Haiman Balata - without your support, belief, and opportunity, I wouldn't be where I am today.

I hope this post serves not just as a celebration of my journey, but as a reminder to anyone going through a tough chapter:
Don't let anyone else write your story. Not the critics.
Not the situation. Not the fear.
You hold the pen ✨
