The absence of career resources and professional guidance made me realize the critical importance of coaching support. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford the high-priced coaches, so I had to learn on my own, through trial and error. I spent countless hours researching, finding the right information, and carving out my path to success. I believe that the journey to becoming a successful immigrant leader—whether in a corporation, running your own business, or being part of a startup—shouldn't be so hard. There is a shortcut to reaching your goals with the right guidance, mental support, and motivation. I have been in your shoes before. I am here to help you achieve your goals without spending countless hours finding your way. My guidance will save you time and help you avoid the mistakes I made due to a lack of support and guidance. I am excited to help you propel your success to greater heights. "Every immigrant woman deserves to confidently showcase her skills and articulate her capabilities. It's important to ask for what you deserve—whether it's a promotion, investment, sponsorship, or any other support that will contribute to your success. Remember, your talents and hard work are valuable.” - Aytakin (Ika) Aliyeva
