“I have found the coaching programme to be really effective on making positive changes in my life and it provided great tools and insight on how to implement these changes in my personal and professional life.

I never really had any kind of coaching to date and I felt lost and unable to move on from past negative experiences. I was unaware of my own negative thinking patterns and how to work beyond that.

I decided to take the coaching programme, as I felt it came at the right time in my life. I was ready to make the necessary changes and I wanted to work with someone who reflected confidence and empowerment and who would have an understanding of my own personal culture and a positive female role model.

My life now is more purposeful and I can take action to gain clarity in situations and look forward to a better future and make better lifestyle choices.

I would say to someone who was thinking of doing the coaching programme to absolutely do it, but only if you are willing to take the time to follow up on action and do the work.

The biggest mindset shift I have made is to be more compassionate and kind towards myself and to be more forgiving.”

“Sadia is the essence of calm, wisdom. At each of our sessions solutions came quickly following a series of thoughtful, probing questions. Having recently taken on a leadership role, she not only grew my confidence in myself, but helped me realise future potential and think about the next step. Sadia finds the best in you and brings it to the forefront.“

"My sessions with Sadia were often the highlight of my week because she just gets it! An exceptional coach and unforced mentor, she sees beyond a perceived problem and is quickly able to offer guidance on a more lateral perspective to overcoming obstacles."

"Sadia has a wonderful way about her, in that she makes you feel extremely comfortable right from the beginning. This meant that despite feeling nervous at first, the nerves didn't get the better of me. I can't remember a time where I have been so open about my innermost feelings and thoughts, but Sadia helps you to explore your own thought processes and issues in such a constructive way, that every session ends with you feeling healed in some way and that much more empowered. Sadia holds you accountable and gently helps you tackle the difficult areas so that you make active progress each week - no session is wasted and you undoubtedly increase your self awareness with Sadia's guidance. The rise in my own self-awareness has been essential in making me mentally and emotionally healthier and has helped me regain my self-confidence and recognise my worth.

The biggest shift in mindset I have had is to believe in and love my true self and to let go of worry and stress over situations that I nor anyone else can control. I have committed to giving myself the alone time I need to recharge and to place less importance on what other people think of me and more energy on acknowledging my strengths and loving who I am in the present.

"One thing I have learnt through my coaching with Sadia is that one has to be brave. I started with baby steps to come out of my comfort zone and into the courageous zone – a zone one is fearful of visiting. As with all things in life, practice makes perfect, I’m still fearful of going into the courageous zone, but I practice it – I do it – thus it’s getting easier.

I feel confident in my abilities these days, and take the time to acknowledge myself in the steps I do take to better myself. Thank you Sadia."

"I cannot measure the impact that working with Sadia has had on me both personally and professionally. I did not know what to expect from working with a coach, but in every session I had what I can only describe as ‘lightbulb’ moments that were even physically reflected in the amount I smiled in the session. Sadia has helped me to identify where my passions lie, and provided me with focus on these, which I could not have discovered without her guidance. It was a privilege to be coached by Sadia, who listens to every word and helps you to reflect and push your boundaries."

"I decided to start coaching with Sadia soon after joining my organisation in a newly created role and as I set out to build a new team. An important aspect of the role was the need to make an impact very quickly, influencing directly and indirectly, the work of hundreds of people across the division and driving change in uncertain circumstances. My coaching sessions with Sadia were filled with lightbulb moments that have stayed with me long after the sessions and which I have often referenced in conversations with others. She brought to life the topics we discussed by painting verbal pictures that really resonated and stuck with me. A year later, the biggest benefit for me has been the overall step change in my confidence and, accordingly, the impact that I make on the people I work with. In particular I think about how best to adapt my personal style to different situations and requirements; I embrace being outside of my comfort zone, especially when managing difficult conversations at all levels of the organisation; and I spend time considering the different aspects of leadership that will most inspire and motivate my team.
