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:

GENTLEMEN, YOU’VE BUILT IT ALL… YET SOMETHING’S STILL MISSING.

You’ve built empires. Led from the front. Smashed milestone after milestone.

Real power isn’t in suppressing your truth, it’s in integrating every piece of yourself.

My work with men isn’t about softening you.
It’s about making you unshakeable, clear, magnetic, present, aligned.

Fair warning: I’m selective. This work requires you to show up.

You can’t rewrite the story while living in the old chapter… 📖

Healing isn’t all about processing the past, it’s stopping the patterns that keep pulling you back.

You don’t have to be everywhere. 
You don’t have to answer every call. 
You don’t have to keep showing up in roles you’ve outgrown. 

There’s wisdom in absence and power in stillness.

Your time is sacred. 
Your energy is intentional. 
Your peace is guarded. 
Not everyone gets a key.

Growth isn’t loud.
It’s subtle.  It’s quiet.

I AM NOT LOVE AND LIGHT ❤️🙏

That pop-spirituality crap breeds bypassing and delusion. 

True spirituality is the path to wholeness. 

We’re not humans seeking a soul experience. 

We’re souls here to live the full human experience.

I can be dark and I can be light. 
Fierce and soft. 
Decisive like a predator as well as surrender to the unknown. 
I can ask for support and I can hold my own. 
I can be vicious and I can be kind. 
Rude and gracious. 
Crude and graceful. 
Generous and withholding.

To be human is to be ALL OF IT.

We’re not here to be labelled or boxed or to renounce any part of ourselves. 

I would rather feel whole than feel guilt or shame. 

That is what it means to be human.

Here’s a photo of me from 10 years ago.

Okay, okay — jokes aside…

That year, I felt dangerous.
  
Not "lock your doors and call the cops" dangerous…
 
I’m talking slow-burn, dead-eyed, iced-over soul kinda dangerous.
 
You know the feeling?
 
When your barista messes up your order 3 times in a row… and still, you feel nothing?
 
Not rage. 
 
Not disappointment. 
 
Not even a little passive-aggressive eye roll.
 
Just a big, fat... emotional void.

(That was me.) 
 
My hair was falling out. 
 
My nervous system was fried. 
 
I was waking up more tired than when I went to bed...

The day I realised I might be a sociopath

MENTAL AGING STARTS WHEN CURIOSITY STOPS! 🧓

When you stop engaging with newness, your neural pathways weaken, especially in the areas tied to memory, mood and emotional balance.

Social connection works the same way.

This is why loneliness accelerates cognitive decline. 

I watched this happen to my grandmother who ultimately died from loneliness and isolation.

It’s also why I encourage my elderly mother to stay connected with her community several times a week… and she absolutely thrives.

The brain evolved for interaction.

Conversations that challenge your perspective expand cognitive networks.

Isolation and echo chambers shrink them.

The good news? Curiosity can be retrained.

Your brain listens to how you live.

If you feed it repetition, it learns to conserve energy.
If you feed it novelty, it learns to stay alert.

People who stay curious and connected age differently.

Their brains show stronger communication between the networks that control focus, attention and memory.

The goal isn’t to avoid aging.

It’s to teach your brain to adapt faster than life changes.

A predictable life may feel safe, but it quietly dulls your potential.

Reclaim your sharpness by choosing challenge over comfort.
Surprise over sameness.
Connection over withdrawal.

Stay curious.
Stay engaged.
Keep creating patterns worth remembering.

That’s how you teach your brain to stay alive, for life.

HOW TO HACK DOPAMINE 🧠 

Dopamine is the neurotransmitter and hormone that plays a crucial role in the brain's reward system, mood and movement.

Dopamine is known as the feel good hormone central to the brains reward centre reinforcing behaviours that lead to pleasure and making you want to repeat them.

It’s also involved in the motivation to seek out these rewards.

Dopamine also affects heart rate, blood flow, kidney function and sleep.

How to hack this powerful chemical? 

Ask yourself…

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO FEEL THE WAY I WANT TO FEEL?

✨Meditate
✨Take a little nap
✨Eat a piece of sweet fruit
✨Do some jumping jacks
✨Get outdoors
✨Complete a task
✨Practice Self Care Activities
✨Eat your favourite delicious food
✨Celebrate your little wins

YOUR BRAN THRIVES ON SURPRISE! 🧠

Welcome to my Brain Series where you’ll learn how to stay sharp, adaptable and mentally alive.

When life becomes predictable, your neurons switch to autopilot.

Those circuits go quiet. 
Mental sharpness fades.
Your brain literally ages on repetition. 
This slowdown is called neural habituation.

Your mind needs novelty, curiosity and meaningful connection to reawaken those circuits.

This is neuroplasticity, your brain’s ability to rewire itself through new experiences.

That’s why travel, learning, movement and social connection all send the same message to your brain:

Stay flexible. 
Stay active. 
Stay alive.

Brain scans show that novelty lights up dopamine pathways, the same circuits tied to motivation, memory and focus.

New experiences force your brain to adapt and strengthen neural connections instead of coasting toward decline.

The real secret to mental longevity isn’t memory tricks.

It’s how you interact with your world.

Curiosity protects cognition.
Engagement keeps your mind awake.

So challenge yourself. 
Stay curious. 
Take the adventure. 
Keep learning.

Your brain thrives on surprise, it’s the fertilizer for your growth.

Follow for more.

STOP SURVIVING. START REMEMBERING WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE.

You’ve been holding it all together for so long.
The business. The family. The expectations.

On paper, you’re successful. Inside, you’re running on empty.

You wake up tired.
Go to bed anxious.
You’ve built everything… except the peace you’ve been craving.

Because when you choose yourself, everything changes. EVERYTHING.

You move from exhaustion… to energy.
From fear… to fearless full expression.
From silence… to sovereignty.

This isn’t about breaking your life apart.
It’s about finally living it.

Book an intro call with me today.
Come home to your power.
Come home to you.
